I had an A-Team lunchbox as a kid. Of all the franchises to see a revival on the big screen in the last few years, this is one of the more intriguing ones. I always loved how they were supposed to be hardened soldiers of fortune, but had hearts of gold. Their crime, I kid you not, was robbing the central bank of Hanoi during the Vietnam War.

But there’s news today that Tyrese, who apparently has a last name, would take the role of B.A. Baracus — the kindhearted mercenary immortalized by he-who-pitied-the-fool.

I guess this is a decent choice. Their choices for the other roles have been OK, but B.A. was defined by Mr. T.

Tyrese’s other credits include Baby Boy and that awful movie filmed at Girard College.
