He said to us a work that from now on he wanted to be called Mr. G ! Mr. G we asked what does the G stand for, he said it stands for great, everyone responded-- we thought it was for Goofy !!😀Speaking of Goofy, they wouldn't let him and his friends into Disneyland, but I think because of the t-shirts they were wearing, one said Kill Mickey, the other one said Disney Stinks !!! Not because Mitch( Mr. G) was trying to look like Mr. T! Don't know what became of Mitch because that was over 30 years ago, but he was sure a character!😀😀

    As a comedy fan today I can see that Mr. T is a real comedy genius. In 2023 You don't get whole comedic personalities that never drop out of character. People like Andy Kaufman, Mr. T, even Sgt. Slaughter were unique products of their time. I can't think of a single actor today who method acts a character so hard off stage the character incorporates into their actual personality. This is like a historical time capsule into a type of acting that doesn't exist today and its amazing! Like imagine if Dwayne Johnson never stopped being "The Rock" and just kept it at 100% peoples eyebrow for 30+ years. Its remarkable.

When you understand him from his world not your own, he was confident not Arrogant. And Appreciative.

    He was smart enough not to break character one bit. Apparently, this interview was done before he was offered the A-Team, which was highly successful. What’s interesting about Mr. T was that he was a character who children genuinely liked and gravitated towards. You would think by his appearance and his persona that he’d be too intimidating for children. He was really like them because it’s really hard to fool the child.
