Having been born in 1980, I grew up watching Mr. T. He was a real life superhero.

[marclafferty]

I’m in my mid 40 now and this man is still my hero. I still have his action figure too. What a legend

[leonardmccoy]

The man had his own cartoon, a good tasting cereal, and has a huge heart. Very pleased he’s still alive.

[davidfrey]

Love Mr. T's self confidence. He doesn't come off as arrogant. But his confidence is overflowing.

[keithbell]

Liked how he broke out in that huge smile at the end of the interview. Mr T. Always stayed in character until the end.

"First name is Mister, my middle name is the period, my last name is the T." Amazing.

The 80's was such an awesome era. People like Mr T were bigger then life characters who really exemplified the meaning of celebrity.

[MrKenny]

Mr T is such a funny guy. But he also makes serious points about poverty, struggle and human goodness. He is a great guy. I hope he goes on for many years to come.

Sitting there looking scary while talking about how his money goes to helping kids in the community. Absolute legend!

[westernman]

I have an autographed photo of Mr. T on my wall: “Be good - be there.” One of my prized possessions.

[SAMZIRRA]

The amount of charity, spirituality, and entertainment this man had put into the World is unparalleled. What a phenom he is.

[exbcso]

He knows he's hilarious but he looks dead serious all the time. One of a kind man!

[joanypana]

He said he would not take any trashy roles. 👏🏻 I wish more actors had this standard.

[Chezkenny]

That was amazing! Dude stayed in the character the whole time. I love this sense of humor

People are laughing, but his responses seem serious and genuine.

I like how deep, well spoken, & educated Mr. T is 80s icon

Honored to meet Mr. T in person back in 2000. Such a sweet sweet person. I love how he brought so much intensity to this interview to great effect and held it until his REAL personality cracked through right at the end

[pollolocco]

A-Team was my jam as a kid. As an adult, I grew to learn how wholesome this man really is. Need more people like this in the world.

[E.Carrillo]

He is actually very funny, and does well at keeping a straight face. I didn’t realize that about him.

[tonyb]

Mr. T is an intellect. His thoughts and point of view are extraordinary
