I Take Back Everything About The New B.A. Baracus

ba oldba new

Remember when I said it was the dumbest idea ever to put some UFC fighter in charge of the role of B.A. Baracus in the upcoming remake of The A-Team?

Well, as it turns out, it may not be that bad an idea after all.  Check it out above–the pic with the text is old B.A., otherwise known as Mr. T.  The other pic is NEW B.A., Quintin “Rampage” Jackson.  You may well notice that, well, they look pretty darn similar.

Sure, it’s not an EXACT translation.  That’s never going to happen.  But there’s something to be said for “close enough”, and this just might qualify, or at least it does from where I’m sitting.

Take a look at the two pics then hit the comments section.  Do you think this new B.A. is going to work out all right?  Or is his lack of acting experience going to be too noticeable?

    Chris–hey, no one said that the new guy would be BETTER than Mr.T. All I’m saying is that this new guy isn’t going to be a total loss.

    Paul–exactly. Not better than the original but a worthy successor.

    Lack of acting skill never stopped Mr. T!
