In 2006 he starred in the ] '']'', shown on ], the title of which comes from the ] of his Lang character.

==Early life==
Mr. T was born in ], the youngest son in a family with twelve children.

ISBN 0-312-55089-8</ref> While growing up, Tureaud regularly witnessed murder, rape, and other crimes, but attributes his survival and later success to his will to do well and his mother's love.<ref name=mrt40>Mr. T, p. 40</ref>
]
Tureaud attended ],<ref name=glance>"Dunbar at a glance." ''Chicago Sun-Times''. December 29, 1993. 76.</ref> where he played football, wrestled, and studied ]. While at Dunbar he became the city-wide wrestling champion two years in a row. He won a football scholarship to ], where he majored in mathematics, but was expelled after his first year.<ref name=bio>{{cite web|url=http://www.biography.com/articles/Mr.-T-413140|title=Biography.com |publisher=Biography.com|date= |accessdate=2010-08-18}}</ref>

He then enlisted in the ] and served in the ]. In November 1975, Tureaud was awarded a letter of recommendation by his drill sergeant, and in a cycle of six thousand troops Tureaud was elected "Top Trainee of the Cycle" and was also promoted to squad leader.<ref name=mrt117>Mr. T, p. 117</ref> In July 1976, Tureaud's platoon sergeant punished him by giving him the detail of chopping down trees during training camp at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin, but did not tell him how many trees, so Tureaud single-handedly chopped down over seventy trees from 6:30 am to 10:00 am, until a shocked major superseded the sergeant's orders.<ref name=mrt76>Mr. T, p. 76</ref>

After his discharge, he tried out for the ] of the ], but failed to make the team due to a knee injury.<ref name=bio/>

Tureaud next worked as a ]. It was at this time that he created the persona of Mr. T.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Walters|first=Barbara|title=Mr. T: Tough and Tender in Barbara Walters Interview|journal=Jet|publisher=Johnson Publishing Company|volume=65|issue=26|page=56|issn=0021-5996|quote='''Mr. T''': I changed my name for respect because I watched my father being called "boy"}}</ref> His wearing of gold neck chains and other jewelry was the result of customers losing the items or leaving them behind at the night club after a fight. A customer, who may have been banned from the club or trying to avoid another confrontation, would not have to re-enter the club if Mr. T wore their jewelry as he stood out front. When a customer returned to claim the item, it was readily visible and available with no further confrontation required. Along with controlling the violence as a doorman, Tureaud was mainly hired to keep out drug dealers and users.<ref name=mrt220>Mr. T, p. 220</ref> During his bouncing days, Tureaud was in over 200 fights and was sued a number of times,{{Vague|date=January 2011}} but won each case.<ref name="ReferenceA">Mr. T, p. 218</ref> "I have been in and out of the courts as a result of my beating up somebody. I have been sued by customers whom I threw out that claimed that I viciously attacked them without just cause and/or I caused them great bodily harm as a result of a beating I supposedly gave them," Mr. T once remarked.<ref name=mrt221>Mr. T, p. 221</ref>

He eventually parlayed his job as a bouncer into a career as a ] that lasted almost ten years. During these years he protected, among others, sixteen prostitutes, nine welfare recipients, five preachers, eight bankers, ten school teachers, and four store owners.<ref name="ReferenceB">Mr. T, p. 136</ref> As his reputation improved, however, he was contracted to guard, among others, seven clothes designers, five models, seven judges, three politicians, six athletes and forty-two millionaires.<ref name="ReferenceB"/> He protected well-known personalities such as ], ], ], ], ] and ], charging $3,000 per day,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/mister_t_1_/bio.jhtml|title=Mr. T view the Music Artists Biography Online|publisher=Vh1.com|date= |accessdate=2010-04-24}}</ref> to a maximum of $10,000 per day, depending on the clientele's risk-rate and traveling locations.

With his reputation as "Mr. T", Tureaud attracted strange offers and was frequently approached with odd commissions, which included: assassination, tracking runaway teenagers, locating missing persons, and large firms asking him to collect past-due payments by force.<ref name=mrt137>Mr. T, p. 137</ref> Tureaud was once anonymously offered $75,000 to assassinate a target and received in the mail a file of the hit and an advance of $5,000, but he refused it.<ref name="ReferenceC">Mr. T, p. 139</ref>

<blockquote>He offered me $75,000 to kill his friend. The last envelope and letter contained a round-trip airline ticket, first class, United. Plus there was $5,000 wrapped in a little package, fifty and hundred dollar bills. I tell you the honest truth, when I saw that money I didn't believe it was real.
:Mr. T.<ref name="ReferenceC"/></blockquote>

Tureaud states that he tried to warn the victim, but it was too late and the man died in a car accident. In accepting a client, Tureaud had two rules:

1) A client could not lie to him.

2) All potential clients were required to shop around before coming to him.<ref name="mrt140">Mr. T, p. 140</ref>

He also made it clear to the client beforehand that he could not promise them their lives, "I did everything except guarantee people's lives, but I guarantee you that I will give my life protecting yours".<ref name="mrt130">Mr. T, p. 130</ref> He carried a .357 Magnum and a .38 caliber snubnose revolver.<ref name="mrt131">Mr. T, p. 131</ref> He weighed an average of {{convert|255|lb|kg}}.<ref name="mrt114">Mr. T, p. 114</ref>

While he was in his late twenties, Tureaud won two tough-man competitions consecutively.<ref name=mrt223>Mr. T, p. 223</ref> The first aired as "Sunday Games" on NBC-TV under the contest of "America's Toughest Bouncer" which included throwing a {{convert|150|lb|kg|sing=on}} ], and breaking through a {{convert|4|in|cm|sing=on}} wooden door.<ref name=mrt224>Mr. T, p. 224</ref> For the first event, Tureaud came in third place. For the end, two finalists squared off in a boxing ring for a two-minute round to declare the champion. Making it to the ring as a finalist, his opponent was a {{convert|280|lb|kg|sing=on}} ] bouncer named Tutefano Tufi.<ref name=mrt226>Mr. T, p. 226</ref> Within twenty seconds "Mr. T" gave the six foot five competitor a bloody nose, and later a bloody mouth. He won the match and thus the competition.<ref name=mrt227>Mr. T, p. 227</ref> The second competition was aired under the new name "Games People Play" on NBC-TV. When interviewed by ] before the final boxing match, Mr T. said, "I just feel sorry for the guy who I have to box. I just feel real sorry for him."<ref name=mrt234>Mr. T, p. 234</ref> This fight was scheduled to last three rounds, but Mr. T finished it in less than 54 seconds. When Sylvester Stallone spotted Mr. T in this second airing, it is strongly believed that the interview with sports journalist Bryant Gumbel originated his famous line "I don't hate him but...I pity the fool", which was worked into the movie '']''.

==Acting roles and work==
While reading '']'', Mr. T first noticed the unusual hairstyle for which he is now famous, on a ] warrior.<ref>Mentioned in a number of interviews, including , allhiphop.com, Published Thursday, November 09, 2006. Mr. T gives a 1977 date, for an article with photos on the Mandinka in Mali. National Geographic Magazine's index has no record of such an article. </ref> He decided that adoption of the style would be a powerful statement about his ] origin. It was a simpler, safer and more permanent visual signature than his gold chains, rings, and bracelets. The gold jewelry was worth about $300,000 at the time and took him about an hour to put on. Most nights, Mr. T spent even more time cleaning them using an ]. Occasionally, he slept with the heavy neck chains and bracelets on, "to see how my ancestors, who were ], felt."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tvacres.com/jewelry_mr_t.htm |title=TVacres.com |publisher=TVacres.com |date= |accessdate=2010-04-24}}</ref>

In 1980, Mr. T was spotted by ] while taking part in NBC's "America's Toughest Bouncer" competition, a segment of NBC's '']''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.starpulse.com/Actors/Mr._T/Biography/ |title=Biography of Mr. T |publisher=Starpulse.com |date=1939-11-16 |accessdate=2010-04-24}}</ref> Although his role in '']'' was originally intended as just a few lines, Mr. T was eventually cast as Clubber Lang, the primary antagonist. His catchphrase "I pity the fool!" comes from the film; when asked if he hates Rocky, Lang replies, "No, I don't hate Balboa, but I pity the fool." Subsequently, after losing out on the role of the title character's mentor in '']'', Mr. T appeared in another boxing film, ''Penitentiary 2'', and on an episode of the Canadian ] series '']'', where he fights and eats ], before accepting a television series role on '']''.

Mr. T also appeared in an episode of '']'', reprising his old role as bodyguard to the character Ricky Stratton (played by ]). In the episode, he explains his name as "First name: ''Mister''; middle name: ''period''; last name ''T''." In one scene, when Ricky's class erupts into a paper-ball-throwing melee, Mr. T throws his body in front of the objects, fully protecting his client.

In ''The A-Team'', he played ], an ex-Army ] on the run with three other members from the United States government "for a crime they didn't commit." As well as the team's tough guy, B. A. was a genius ] but afraid of flying. When asked at a press conference whether he was as stupid as B. A. Baracus, Mr. T observed quietly, "It takes a smart guy to play dumb."

His role in ''The A-Team'' led to him making an appearance in the long-running ] '']'' in the sixth season opener "Mr T. and mr. t" (1983), in which an episode of ''The A-Team'' is supposedly filmed in the family's penthouse apartment.

] at the White House with First Lady ] in 1983.]]

A ]-produced ] called '']'' premiered in 1983 on ]. The ''Mister T'' cartoon starred Mr. T as himself, the owner of a gym where a group of gymnasts trained. He helped them with their training but they also helped him solve mysteries and fight crime in '']''-style scenarios. Thirty episodes were produced.

The year 1983 also marked the release of the only film that can be called a Mr. T vehicle, '']''. The movie featured an ensemble cast, many of whom were publicized figures from other areas of showbusiness &mdash; comics ], ], singer ], bodybuilders David and ] (the "Barbarian Brothers") &mdash; but had only modest acting experience. Despite the wide range of performers, and more seasoned actors such as ] as the protagonist Albert, as well as ] and ], Mr. T was top billed and the central figure in the film's publicity, with him literally towering over the other characters on the film's poster.

While the film, featuring the ensemble as a ragtag ] company trying to hustle their way to solvency and respectability, performed modestly at the box office, its $16 million take exceeded its $12 million budget and has since become a minor cult favorite for its kitchen sink geniality.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sinatrachairman.blogspot.com/2011/05/dc-cab.html|title=''Movie Good'': "''DC Cab''"|accessdate=2013-03-22}}</ref> It was the second feature in a prolific career for director ].

In 1984, he made a motivational video called '']''. He gives helpful advice to children throughout the video; for example, he teaches them how to understand and appreciate their origins, how to dress fashionably without buying designer labels, how to make tripping up look like ], how to control their anger, and how to deal with peer pressure. The video is roughly one hour long, but contains 30 minutes of singing, either by the group of children accompanying him, or by Mr. T himself. He sings "Treat Your Mother Right (Treat Her Right)," in which he enumerates the reasons why it is important to treat your mother right, and also raps a song about growing up in the ghetto and praising ]. The raps in this video were written by ].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001384/#musicX20department1980|title=Ice-T IMDb bio|accessdate=2010-06-10}}</ref>

On January 19, 1985, he introduced ] at the nationally-televised 50th Presidential Inaugural Gala, the day before the second inauguration of ].

In 1988, Mr. T starred in the television series '']''. Mr. T was once reported to be earning around $80,000 a week for his role in ''The A-Team'' and earning $15,000 for personal appearances. By the end of the 1990s, he was appearing only in the occasional commercial, largely because of health problems (in 1995, he was diagnosed with ]).<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2005-09-14-mr-t_x.htm |work=] |title= For Mr. T, gold chains are out, helping is in|accessdate=2010-02-10|first1=William|last1=Keck| date=2005-09-14}}</ref> He frequently appears on the ] Christian television network. He has appeared on '']''. He has also appeared on some ] commercials, and in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand during 2007, advertising the chocolate bar ] with the slogan "Get Some Nuts!"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://getsomenuts.tv/|title=Get some nuts &#124; Snickers |publisher=Getsomenuts.tv|date=2010-01-13|accessdate=2010-04-24}}</ref> One of these commercials, featuring Mr. T crashing through a wall on the back of a ] before firing Snickers bars at a speed walker wearing tight-fitting yellow shorts, was pulled by ] following a complaint by the U.S.-based group ], despite the fact that the advert had never been shown outside the U.K. The group alleged that the commercial promoted the idea that violence against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people "is not only acceptable, but humorous."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Mars-Pulls-Mr-T-Snickers-Ad-Over-Gay-Row/Article/200807415059196?lpos=UK%2BNews_1&lid=ARTICLE_15059196_Mars%2BPulls%2BMr%2BT%2BSnickers%2BAd%2BOver%2BGay%2BRow|title=Mr. T Ad Pulled In Anti-Gay Row|publisher=]|date=2008-07-29}}</ref> Mr. T has distanced himself from these accusations, insisting that he would never lend his name to something that supports such beliefs, and that the commercials did not depict such promotions. The commercials are still shown on Australian and UK television.

Mr. T did a video campaign for ] that was created and posted on consumer video sites including ] and ]. According to Steven Zivanic, senior director and corporate communications of HDS, "this campaign has not only helped the firm in its own area, but it has given the data storage firm a broader audience."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dmnews.com/cms/dm-news/internet-marketing/42045.html |title=Mr. T attracts viewers, buyers for Hitachi|publisher=DMNews|date= |accessdate=2010-04-24}}</ref> In November 2007, Mr. T appeared in a television commercial for the online role playing game '']'' with the phrase ''"I'm Mr. T and I'm a ] Mohawk"''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wow-europe.com/en/downloads/commercials.html#mrt |title=World of Warcraft Europe - Downloads - Movies - TV Commercials |publisher=Wow-europe.com |date= |accessdate=2010-04-24}}</ref> A follow-up to this commercial appeared in November 2009 where he appeared promoting the "mohawk grenade" item, which appears in game and turns other players into Mr. T's likeness.

In 2008, Mr. T appeared on the American channel ''Shopping TV'' selling his "Mr. T Flavorwave Oven."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thane.com/products/housewares/flavorwave-turbo/flavorwave-turbo.php |title=Thane.com |publisher=Thane.com |date= |accessdate=2010-04-24}}</ref> A ] starring Mr T. is also being developed by ].<ref name=IGN>{{cite web|last=Clayman |first=David |url=http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/976/976832p1.html |title=Zootfly Announces Mr. T Games |publisher=Xbox360.ign.com |date= |accessdate=2010-04-24}}</ref> Mr. T was offered a ] in the ] of ''The A-Team'', but decided to turn it down,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.latinoreview.com/news/exclusive-sorry-fans-mr-t-will-not-appear-in-the-a-team-remake-8869 | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20110918073930/http://www.latinoreview.com/news/exclusive-sorry-fans-mr-t-will-not-appear-in-the-a-team-remake-8869 | archivedate=September 18, 2011 | title=News: Exclusive: Sorry Fans, Mr. T Will Not Appear In The A-Team Remake |publisher=Latino Review |date=December 24, 2009 |accessdate=August 15, 2013}}</ref> whereas ] and ] both made cameos in the film.

In the 2009 movie '']'', Mr. T provided the voice for Officer Earl Devereaux, the town's athletic cop who loves his son very much.

{{As of|2011|6}}, Mr. T is presenting a clip show on ] named '']''. The show features stories such as botched bank robberies and inept insurance fraudsters alongside ].<ref></ref>

===Wrestling===
Mr. T entered the world of ] in 1985. He was ]'s tag-team partner at the ]'s (WWF) first '']'' which he won. Hulk Hogan wrote in his autobiography that Mr. T saved the main event of WrestleMania I between them and "Rowdy" ] and "Mr. Wonderful" ] because when he arrived, security would not let his entourage into the building. Mr. T was ready to skip the show until Hogan personally talked him out of leaving. Piper has said that he and other fellow wrestlers disliked Mr. T because he was an actor and had never paid his dues as a professional wrestler.

Remaining with the WWF, Mr. T became a special "WWF boxer" in light of his character in ''Rocky III''. He took on ] on the ] of ''],'' on NBC. This boxing stunt ultimately culminated in another boxing match against Roddy Piper at '']''. Mr. T returned to the World Wrestling Federation as a special guest referee in 1987 as well as a special referee enforcer confronting such stars as the Honky Tonk Man.

On July 21, 1989, Mr. T. made an appearance in ], seconding ].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKT13vl-Ejs&feature=player_embedded|title=Kerry Von Erich & Mr. T interview |publisher=YouTube |date= |accessdate=March 11, 2012}}</ref>

Five years later, Mr. T reappeared as a special referee for a Hogan-] match, in October 1994, at ]'s '']'', and then went on to wrestle again, defeating ] at that year's '']''. Another seven years later Mr. T appeared in the front row of the November 19, 2001, episode of '']''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://slashwrestling.com/raw/011119.html|title=Slashwrestling.com |publisher=Slashwrestling.com|date=2001-11-19|accessdate=2010-04-24}}</ref>

On March 17, 2014 it was announced that he would be inducted into the ].<ref></ref>

===Albums===
In 1984, Mr. T released an album titled '']'' (]/]), in much the same tone as his 1984 educational video, which instructed children to stay in school and to stay away from drugs. He followed it up the same year with a second album, titled ''Mr. T's ]'' (]), featuring music from the eponymous film. In 2002, Mr. T appeared as a bartender in the video for "]" by ] featuring ] and ].

==Personal life==
Mr. T is a ].<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.beliefnet.com/story/201/story_20189_1.html |accessdate = 2007-11-22 |title = Words of Wisdom from Mr. T |publisher = Beliefnet}}</ref>

In 1987, he angered the residents of a Chicago suburb, Lake Forest, by cutting down more than a hundred oak trees on his estate. The incident is now referred to as The Lake Forest Chain Saw Massacre.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.nytimes.com/1987/05/30/us/genteel-chicago-suburb-rages-over-mr-t-s-tree-massacre.html |title=GENTEEL CHICAGO SUBURB RAGES OVER MR.

He gave up virtually all his gold, one of his identifying marks, after helping with the cleanup after ] in 2005. He said, "As a Christian, when I saw other people lose their lives and lose their land and property...I felt that it would be a sin before God for me to continue wearing my gold. I felt it would be insensitive and disrespectful to the people who lost everything, so I stopped wearing my gold."<ref>{{cite news |title=Mr T Gives Up His Gold For Katrina Victims |url=http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Showbiz-News/A-Team-Star-Mr-T-Decides-To-Stop-Wearing-Gold-Jewellery-Out-Of-Respect-For-Hurricane-Katrina-Victims/Article/200902415229268 |date=February 25, 2009 |accessdate=June 15, 2011}}</ref>
