What was the name of Mr. T's character on "The A-Team"?

Mr. T played Bosco “B.A.” Baracus on The A-Team. B.A. stands for “Bad Attitude,” a nickname that matched the character’s intimidating reputation and explosive temper.

Baracus was one of the four central members of the 1980s action-adventure television series. He was a former United States Army Special Forces sergeant, an exceptionally skilled mechanic, and the team’s strongest fighter. His practical engineering abilities frequently helped the group build or repair vehicles and improvised equipment.

The A-Team premiered in 1983 and followed former soldiers who had been wrongly convicted of a crime they did not commit. Living as fugitives, Hannibal Smith, Face, “Howling Mad” Murdock, and B.A. worked as soldiers of fortune while trying to help people in trouble.

Viewers sometimes remember B.A. mainly for his gold jewelry, distinctive hairstyle, fear of flying, and milk-drinking habit. The character’s tough-guy image also drew heavily on Mr. T’s public persona, making Baracus one of television’s most recognizable action characters.
