Mr. T was born Laurence Tureaud in Chicago, Illnois, USA. He is the second to youngest of twelve children (he has four sisters and seven brothers) and grew up in the housing projects.
Mr. T's brothers encouraged him to build up his body in order to survive in the area; he has commented, "If you think I'm big, you should see my brothers!". He was involved in the world of pro wrestling in 1985-86 and 1994-95. He was Hulk Hogan's tag team partner at the first WWF Wrestlemania, defeating the team of Paul Orndorff and Roddy Piper on March 31, 1985. His feud with Piper continued into Wrestlemania 2, when he defeated Piper in a boxing match by disqualification. Mr. T returned to the WWF as a special guest referee in 1987, then disappeared from the wrestling world. Seven years later, he reappeared as a special referee for a Hogan-Ric Flair match, in October 1994. He stayed with Hogan for a few matches.
