First Look: Quinton Jackson on the Set of 'The A-Team'
(Props: ComingSoon.net via WatchKalibRun)
Why so serious, Rampage? Yep, that's former UFC fighter Quinton Jackson searching for his motivation on the set of The A-Team in Vancouver. To his right are Liam Neeson (as John "Hannibal" Smith), District 9's Sharlto Copley (as Capt. "Howling Mad" Murdock) and Bradley Cooper (as Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck). According to ComingSoon, the flick will also feature Jessica Biel as an Army general who pursues the team — they're casting for realism, I see! — and Patrick Wilson as a CIA operative.
More photos after the jump, which show that B.A. Baracus's famous mohawk might have to be added in post-production.

LargeMidget Says:
A CGI Mohawk? That's got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Strife Says:
No Mohawk??? Mr. T Is gonna be pissed
for the love of mma Says:
bob sapp has better acting skills than rampage lol
nuclearblast Says:
Rampage was the worst in Never Surrender...that means he's really really the worst actor ever.
Sneaky Pete Says:
Why can't he act like the guy who is going to beat Rashads ass? It's totally method, and he get his SAG card.
dude Says:
Rampage looks more like someone who's looking for work....or food.
Jugger Says:
Carpe diem, 'Page! Enjoy it man. Get 'dat bread.
tallkitchenbags Says:
i pity the fool that puts hollow core door on his trailer. i pity the fool.
Old_Bald_and_Irish Says:
Wow
....I so don't care.
I'm ashamed to see such a great actor like Liam Neeson even remotely connected to this.
Oh well...Liam gotta eat!
Smitty Says:
@ Jugger
I'm with you dog. There's always going to be haters. I hope he does well, and the movie is better than expected.
Da Spied Her Says:
Who wants to bet if Jessica Biel will get Rampaged?
steampunk22 Says:
I miss living in Vancouver.
Anyways, Rampage is lookin a little thicker around the midsection eh? Maybe that so called retirement has some legs....
Quite the supporting cast, I kind of hope for Rampage's fragile mental state that he pulls this one off you know?
for the love of mma Says:
@smitty mma fighters are regular people not gods havent u seen the utimate fighter? rampage dont care bout u so get off his nuts
LBo Says:
I think Rampage is actually perfect for this role. I can't even think of someone out there who would make a better Mr. T.
Seriously, to the CP readers who just sit around and bitch all day, give me one person who would be better suited to be Baracus. I'm serious, remember back when you had an imagination? Give it a workout for just a second and let me know.
Oh wait, it's not just the persona... maybe he won't have the acting chops that MR. T had, right?
Contraband Says:
CHECK OUT THE VIDEO ON BLOODYELBOW OF Kimbo trying to bum money from tito after his loss last night he needs to scrounge
IRISHLOBO Says:
I can't believe Liam Neeson is in a movie with Rampage Jackson. That's like hearing a movie is starring Sir Lawrence Olivier and War Machine.
bpd Says:
You know Rampage cornered Jessica Biel on the first day of principal photography and went full freelance on her.
cagefightmon Says:
Looks like his team gets their asses kicked on TUF 10. Sorry but I would choose to move on and act--INSTEAD of training until my heart wants to go for a run(outside of my body and on its own) and continually getting punched in the face. I will miss him but I understand. . . .
You will be missed Jackson!
Sgt. 606 Says:
Where in the fuck are his gold chains? B.A. Baracus wouldn't be caught dead without at least 18lbs of gold chain around his neck. This just may be the least realistic movie ever.
VisitingDeadAnc... Says:
you will find this movie on the sale bin along with Rampage's career.
mjmcnns Says:
And Rampage hangs his head in shame as he realizes that his choice to retire from MMA in favour of acting is only the second worst decision he's made recently.
knee_strike Says:
Jackson is "acting" in a film alongside Liam Neeson? Good grief. Now I've seen everything.
AgentoftheBat Says:
I would have rather seen Ice Cube get the part, but whatever.
I saw him on Conan one night and he did his impression and asked for fans to write in and suggest him for it and he was spot on.
Guess maybe Jackson is a bigger name at the moment?
Spacebump Says:
Everybody is acting like Rampage is reprising a James Earl Jones role. He is playing B.A. Baracus. A character made famous by Mr. Fuckin T. We're talkin about Mr. T. Not Sidney Poitier. It's Mr. T's shoes he's filling. Get over it mother fuckers.
And yeah, he needs at least a few gold chains and feather earrings.
M1-Grovel Says:
Ramage will be fine. Yeah he's rough around the edges but if you have any kind of eye for potential i think it's pretty clear. He's done more technically difficult entertainment segments for a youtube camera than this big movie role requires. He's a natural entertainer and speaker. He can go into character on any topic and be entertaining. He can respectably free style rap in the tunnels of London. He does imitations. His speaking/entertaining skills are more polished than most people you know. He's not shy and he's taking this serious as hell. He just needs some coaching doing what comes natural to him, but he'll get it quick where he's at and this is an easy role for a noob. these aren't the casting agents and producers from Never Surrender. They won't put someone on the big screen that is youtubishly robotically bad (like BJ Penn). He is surrounded by great actors coaching him on an A-List movie. They're probably helping him all around the clock because they genuinely like him. And since his personality is gaining him close Hollywood friends that only helps him even more. He will surprise you closed minds WTF
J-Dog Says:
Costume and makeup will give him a merkin mohawk before they start shooting I'm sure
BEAM Says:
Why does he need a mohawk and big gold chains? Is he playing B.A. or Mr. T?
rh Says:
It wasn't a Mohawk, it was a Mandinka.
Noobs.
