Rapper 'The Game' to replace MR T as BA Baracus in The A Team

Jul 5 2009 by Paul Cole, Sunday Mercury

RAP music star The Game is set to play BA Baracus in the forthcoming A-Team movie.

The 29 year-old chart star – real name Jayceon Terrell Taylor – is tipped to take on the role made famous in the old TV series by Mr T.

Filming on The A-Team set is due to start filming in August, with Liam Neeson playing Hannibal Smith and Bradley Cooper in the role of Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck. Final team member Howling Mad Murdock has yet to be cast.

Taylor previously appeared as menacing Grill in last year’s Street Kings movie.
