Everything 80s

Mr. T: From Bouncer to Prime Time


Listen Later

The story of Mr. T is as much the story of the 1980s as during a rapidly changing time of pop culture, he touched all aspects of entertainment.

The big screen, the small screen, radio, home video, and even our toy shelves; in the 1980s, he was everywhere. 

From his early days as a bouncer, to protecting some of the most famous people in the world, this larger-than-life figure soon became one of the most recognizable people of the time. 

He was born Laurence Tureaud, but the world would soon get to know him as Mr. T, a man who became a true Icon in every sense of the word.
