Mr. T

Mr. T looked all convincing in his role as Sergeant Bosco Baracus in The A-Team because he had the real-life experience of being in the troops. He served in the Military Police Corps for a brief period before his lifelong affair with wrestling and acting began.

In what has since become an interesting anecdote, Mr. T once famously had to chop trees as punishment for misconduct. With all the raw energy oozing from his hands, he managed to cut down nearly 70 of them, leaving the entire platoon astonished! No wonder he was named the ‘Top Trainee’ of his batch.
