Flashback To The Eighties – Win A Free Movie Starring Mr. T
So for today’s blog post, I just decided to have some fun.
You remember the Eighties.. well the Eighties wouldn’t be the Eighties without big hair, Rubik’s cubes, breakdancing, Nintendo, and – of course – Mr. T.
I remember growing up as a kid in the Eighties myself, watching countless episodes of THE A TEAM with Mr. T starring as B.A. Baracus.
The signature mohawk, gold chains, and tough exterior were all part of who he was on the outside. But who is Mr. T?
Let’s find out…
His real name is Laurence Tero Tureaud, and he is the youngest of twelve children. He grew up the son of a minister in the Robert Taylor Homes projects in Chicago, Illinois.
He joined the Army and became an MP. He returned from the Army and used his skills to land a job as a bodyguard for some fairly well known folks including: Muhammad Ali, Michael Jackson, Steve McQueen, Leon Spinks, Joe Frazier and Diana Ross.
Of course he has an extensive list of films and television credits that can be seen HERE
But something you may not know is that Mr. T is a self-proclaimed born again Christian and that he truly has a heart of gold.
Mr. T has spent quite a bit of his time, talent and treasure working on projects that are aimed at keeping kids on the right track.
In 1984, he made a motivational video in which he talks to kids about appreciating their origins, handling peer pressure and controlling anger.
He also released an album called Mr. T’s Commandments in which he encourages kids to stay in school and away from drugs.
In addition, Mr. T has a humanitarian heart. He has donated quite a bit of money and clothing to the Hurricane Katrina victims.
At Cloud Ten Pictures we are both blessed and pleased to have Mr. T as one of our movie stars. He stars in our feature length film JUDGMENT and if you haven’t seen it, I encourage you to watch the trailer for this film and to consider picking it up for your personal library.
I am a child of the Eighties and I will always remember those years fondly. I hope you’ve enjoyed a little on Mr. T. And as always, thanks for being a part of the Cloud Ten Pictures Blog.
