Daughter?

In the 80s I thought I remember Mr. T mentioning a daughter in an interview. Why no mention of her in this article?

"main inspiration with regards to style and mannerisms" - grammar issue

i'm almost certain it's "with regard to"; can someone with edit ability please fix this? or change it to "as regards style and mannerisms" - either will make my OCD happy, please. thanks.

addition to filmography (television) ? - Kimmel

Didn't he co-host Kimmel's show in early years? Kimmel mentions it on Strike Force Five episode 2 and I see it on individual episode info, but nowhere on the filmography which seems weird DPS13 (talk) 20:35, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Aesop Rock -100 Feet Tall - 2023 song about meeting Mr. T at Carnegie Deli (NYC) in the 1980’s

Respecting the person by using their legally chosen name

I agree with mentioning his name at birth and the way he changed it when his father left but to continue through the page referring to him as "Tureaud" is disrespectful. He had his name changed legally at 18 to Mr. T and that is the name that should be used. Nathanieloffer (talk) 02:04, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
