I was wondering if anybody had any photos of Tony Brubaker as BA's stunt double.
In most episodes you can clearly see Tony is wearing some kind of mask to have BA's haircut.
Searched the internet but...

Searched the internet but... Welcome to the forum! I didn't even know the name of BA's stunt double, so I appreciate you sharing that name. Maybe someone can do "screencaps" or whatever you call them of Tony. Is he the one driving the van near the beginning of TROUBLE ON WHEELS when they don't even seem to try to hide that it isn't Mr T? |

I did the search for him on the Internet to know who you were talking about. He was in SHOWDOWN!, wasn't he?
When Dwight did his Q&A's, he mentioned a few times that Mr T's stunt double had been a white guy at one point. I'm glad they switched to Tony Brubaker.

Wow! I was just looking at his IMDB. He's still doing stunt work. Or at least he has some credits up until 2019 even! I wonder how old he is. In his 60's, you think?

IMDB does have him as "Fake B.A. Baracus (uncredited)" for SHOWDOWN. Here are the listings under "Actor" for him in regards to the A-TEAM:
The A-Team (TV Series)
Fake B.A Baracus / Bantu / Marty
- Showdown! (1984) ... Fake B.A Baracus (uncredited)
- The Only Church in Town (1983) ... Bantu
- The Beast from the Belly of a Boeing (1983) ... Marty
I don't know who Bantu in CHURCH was - maybe one of the bad guys? And was Marty one of the hijackers in BEAST?

And was Marty one of the hijackers in BEAST? I think IMDB might be wrong on the last one. The hijacker on the plane was Jesse D. Goins. Unless there is another guy somewhere else in the episode that we just don't think about as being important to the episode. |

Oh, I think Marty is the guy in the very beginning driving some kind of vehicle in the hangar. The bad guys come and punch him out and then presumably steal his Beller Air uniform.

That could be the case then. I have seen a lot of people say he was the black guy on the plane as one of the hijackers, so I know that is wrong. |

I do have a good image of Tony on set from season 5 all dressed as BA/Mr T. Came across it a couple years ago on Google purely by chance, think its the only picture i have of him..

Very cool. Being MR T's stunt double would be a pretty hard task, I would think!
