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.

Respecting the person by using their legally chosen name

I agree with mentioning his name at birth and the way he shortened 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)

The section devoted to Commercials, totally leaves out one of the funniest Skechers Footwear ads in 2023. The spokesperson reminds viewers "there is no T in skechers," at which Mr. T enters the scene asking what the spokesperson is talking about, points down at his footwear (Skechers) and says "here's a T in skechers," and proceeds to show off several other styles of skechers.
