I'm a imdb expat too. Glad to see this site beginning to get some action going on!
Back when I was a kid watching it, I had no idea who Mr. T was outside this show. I was very surprised to find out, later on, that in the USA he was top billed and the most famous of the 4 due to wrestling. I loved the way the 4 of them interacted with each other, so I don't have a favourite (ok, maybe Hannibal, by just a tiny little bit... and Murdock, because he was just too funny), but Mr T is the only one of them who's not a great actor.
Wasnt it Rocky 3 that put him on the map. Remember him being a big selling part of Rocky 3 when we saw it as kids (although could be argued Rocky 3 was when the series started getting cartoonish and Mr T was a big part of that).
He was great in that film though so when he was cast in The A Team I seem to remember people going crazy for it. It helped that the programme and the other guys (and their unique characteristics) were amazing.
Of all those 80s Saturday evening fantasy/action shows (Airwolf, Knightrider etc.) - The A Team is the one that holds up the most just because of how bonkers it was

Mr T is my favorite member of the A-team

welcome aboard, I'm a transplant too! question: does the A team have the all time greatest opening theme music to hype the moment?

@MidnightBlues I believe he won the tough man boxing tournament and that's how he was found

I didn't know that. Just remember reading somewhere that he was all that famous because of wrestling. Thanks for sharing.
