JumpinJack AJ Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Mr. T Sheds His Gold Chains AP PASADENA, Calif. (July 14) - Mr. T has given himself a makeover. The former television action star shed the piles of gold chains that were his signature look after witnessing the destruction from Hurricane Katrina. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk About It: Post Thoughts Did You Know? Mr. T (real name: Lawrence Tero) will give out life advice on TV Land's "I Pity the Fool" starting this October. "As a spiritual man, I felt it would be a sin against my God for me to wear all that gold again because I spent a lot of time with the less fortunate," the actor said Thursday at the Television Critics Association's summer meeting. "I saw some, I call it 'sorry celebrities.' They'll go down there and hook up with the people to take a photo-op. I said, `How disgusting.' If you're not going to go down there with a check and a hammer and a nail to help the people, don't go down there." Mr. T, whose real name is Lawrence Tero, stars in "I Pity the Fool" debuting in October on TV Land. He dispenses advice to viewers who are struggling with life's problems. The former star of "The A-Team" said he's about more than his rough-and-tough image. "Yes, I am qualified to beat people up. But I am pretty intelligent," he said. "That's what throws people off. If you've been through something, that gives you an authority that you can speak on certain things. That's why people relate to me. I pull no punches."
