FAN EXPO Chicago took over the Donald E Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL, just outside of Chicago, August 14th-16th. Fans were able to meet stars such as Kurt Russell, Mel Gibson, the cast of The Boys, Supernatural, and more. The convention featured a slew of legends from pop culture. This included the one and only Mr. T. He took a few minutes to chat with me during the event.
Mr. T talked all things WWE Hall of Fame, tossing out the first pitch for the Chicago Cubs, singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game, his time in the WWE, and, of course, being on set for Rocky, the A-Team, and more. Mr. T was part of WrestleMania I and is also part of the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame. He returned to his hometown of Chicago for FAN EXPO Chicago 2026.
