Former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson has been cast as B.A. Baracus in the feature adaptation of The A-Team [ATEAM]. When the rumor first surfaced last month, Jackson's publicist denied the casting to MTV. However, the Vancouver Sun reported the news over the weekend that Jackson had postponed his upcoming fight against Rashad Evans and arrived in town for the start of filming.
Mr. T originated the iconic role of the soldier of fortune with a "Bad Attitude" who's only weakness is a fear of flying. Jackson has had previous acting expereince with a role in Midnight Meat Train. With Liam Neeson [LNEES] playing John "Hannibal" Smith and Bradley Cooper [BCOOP] as Templeton "Faceman" Peck, that leaves H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock as the sole uncast member of The A-Team.
