Arguably the most difficult role to cast in The A-Team is B.A. Baracus. Why? Mr T is such an iconic personality, who would want to try and fill those boots?

Well Blackfilm.com have claimed to know exactly who wants to fill those boots – The Game! According to the site:

While casting is underway for the big screen adaptation on the long running TV series, ‘The A-Team,’ Blackfilm.com has exclusively learned that rapper The Game is being considered for the role of B.A Baracus, which was originated by Mr. T on the television show.

Online buzz has it that the role was going to another rapper-turned-actor, Common, but with his recent casting opposite Queen Latifah in ‘Just Right,’ he may not finish filming before ‘The A-Team’ get rolling in August. Other possible candidates have included Ice Cube and mixed martial arts fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

Interesting enough, both Common and The Game appeared in the same film last year, ‘Street Kings.’ The Game made his film debut opposite Tyrese Gibson in ‘Waist Deep.’
