BlackFilm.com says that rapper The Game is a frontrunner for the role of B.A. Baracus in director Joe Carnahan's The A-Team at 20th Century Fox. The role was originally played by Mr. T on the TV show.

If he lands the role, he would join Liam Neeson, who plays John "Hannibal" Smith, and Bradley Cooper, who is taking on the role of Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck.

The studio is eyeing a June 11, 2010 release for the action film.

The Game's acting credits include Street Kings and Waist Deep.

Ving Rhames, Michael Clarke Duncan, are the best choices for B.A. Baracus. If you gonna get a rapper I would get Ice Cube. The Game? I don't know....I would haft to see it. I also hope that they give respect to the original stars or of the series parts in the movie. Let's hope they don't screw this up....
