UFC's Rampage Jackson set to play A-Team’s B.A. Baracus

Hello all, this is a bit of bitter/sweet news. The sweet news is, rapper The Game, WONT BE playing B.A. Baracus in the new A-Team movie adaptation. A few months ago we told you about The Game's possible casting in the role, those rumors turned out to be untrue. So if that's the sweet, what's the bitter? We still didn't get a good actor to play the role, we instead got a UFC fighter... Quinton Rampage Jackson. He's a former UFC Light-Heavyweight champion who is one of the stars of the industry.

My personal opinion is there are better ACTORS who could play the role. But really, can anyone match Mr. T's charisma and charm (kidding of course). Mr. T was the iconic actor of the A-Team TV series, replacing him was never going to be easy. I think casting Jackson was a better move than The Game though. We'll have to see the end result of course. Other notable castings include: Liam Neeson as John Smith (Hannibal) and Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton Pack (Faceman).
