Exclusive Portrait: I Pity the Fool Who Doesn’t Love Mr. T

PatrickMcD — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 02:08:47 +0000

CHICAGO – The recent Fan Expo Chicago had a vast room of possibilities at the Donald A Stephens Center in Rosemont (IL), but none as almighty as Mr. T, as he met fans and signed autographs during the event. The born-in-Chicago legend is best known for his roles in ROCKY III and THE A-TEAM, but his real fame simply is being Mr. T.

Mr. T was born Laurence Tureaud (later changing it to Tero) and adopted the Mr. T moniker shortly after graduating from Chicago’s Dunbar Vocational High School in 1970. After a stint in the Army, he famously worked as a bouncer on Rush Street in the city … he developed his multi-gold medallion trademark by wearing the necklaces that were in the club’s lost and found. From there he became a bodyguard to the stars, including Steve McQueen, Michael Jackson and Muhammad Ali.

He attained his first notoriety by winning an “America’s Toughest Bouncer” competition, which included boxing, on NBC-TV. It was on a second iteration of the show (GAMES PEOPLE PLAY) that had T utter the famous line “I pity the fool.” It was from this broadcast that Sylvester Stallone cast Mr. T as Clubber Lang, Rocky Balboa’s memorable opponent in 1982’s ROCKY III (“I don’t hate Balboa … I pity the fool.”). This led to other films (PENITENTIARY 2) and TV parts, but his second identifying role was portraying B.A. Baracus as part of TV’s THE A-TEAM (1983).

From there he built his rep simply by being Mr. T, with a Saturday morning cartoon, more films (DC CAB and TV’s TOUGHEST MAN IN THE WORLD), commercials, professional wrestling, motivational videos and rap albums. His post-1990s work was mostly smaller shows or appearances, but he lent his voice to CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS (2009) and was a contestant on DANCING WITH THE STARS in 2017. He stopped wearing his trademark gold in deference to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and is a born-again Christian.

The next FAN EXPO Chicago 2026 will take place in Toronto, Canada, on August 27th. For complete information, click FanExpoHQ.com/FanExpoCanada.

Podtalk: Writer/Director Michael Russell Gunn on His Film ‘The Brink of War,’ in Theaters Now

PatrickMcD — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 19:37:52 +0000

CHICAGO – The political drama has been a tradition in films, think SEVEN DAYS IN MAY or PRIMARY COLORS, but one of the latest films involves a real-life incident which occurred during Ronald Reagan’s term in office. THE BRINK OF WAR is a re-creation – in the exact location where it took place – of the Reykjavik (Iceland) Summit of 1986, in which Reagan faced negotiations with Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet General Secretary. During the tense back-and-forth, the fate of world regarding nuclear warhead reduction hung in the balance. The film was written and directed by Michael Russell Gunn.

Jeff Daniels is President Ronald Reagan in 1986, as Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev (Jared Harris) proposed a surprise summit ahead of a planned D.C. summit, in the neutral territory of Reykjavik, Iceland. The subjects are divided, as Gorbachev wants nuclear de-escalation and Reagan leads with human rights, which includes an individual case related to the United States. As the two leaders negotiate, the behind-scenes-folks include Secretary of State George Schultz (J.K. Simmons), in addition to the leader’s wives Raisa Gorbachev (Branka Katic), who attended with her husband, and Nancy Reagan (Hope Davis), who did not. As the two men thrust and parry with their needs in this negotiation, the fate the of the world hangs in the balance.

He began his career on the acclaimed Aaron Sorkin series THE NEWSROOM, and has worked on various TV series, often politically themed, like DESIGNATED SURVIVOR, BLACK SAILS and BILLIONS. He meticulously researched THE BRINK OF WAR, including extensive interviews with George Schultz.

In a Podtalk with Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com, Michael Russell Gunn of THE BRINK OF WAR talks about background and process in making the film …

In Memoriam: Hayden Panettiere, the Final Portrait in Chicagoland

PatrickMcD — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 16:47:34 +0000

CHICAGO – In May of this year, actress Hayden Panettiere visited Chicagoland to promote her new memoir, and posed for Exclusive Portraits with Joe Arce of HollywoodChicago.com. In the final poignant photo of that session – published here for the first time – her future seemed unrelentingly bright. Hayden Panettiere was found dead on August 16th, 2026.

The memoir she was promoting was THIS IS ME: A RECKONING, an ironic title in context of her passing. The candid history of childhood actor pressure that became a difficult adulthood was authentically told by Ms. Panettiere, and she made an appearance at Anderson’s Bookshop in Naperville (IL) in May of 2026.

Hayden Leslie Panettiere’s career in entertainment began before she was old enough to walk … she appeared in her first commercial at 11 months. From those early ad appearances and TV roles to film hits like REMEMBER THE TITANS, she had tremendous success by her early teens, and later scored with the SCREAM film series, and TV’s HEROES and NASHVILLE. But behind the cheerleader image (her famous character in HEROES), the “it girl” growing up in public was a far more complicated reality. As Hayden entered adulthood, the industry that once sustained her grew more unforgiving, and according to her memoir, there was a hefty price to pay for fame, including how quickly outside forces hijacked her story.

In her memoir THIS IS ME: A RECKONING, Ms. Panettiere shared a rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors, opening up about postpartum depression, addiction/recovery, trauma, domestic abuse, and loss. She held nothing back as she reflected on the moments she calls “lifequakes” … experiences that fractured her sense of self and forced her to rebuild it from the inside out. It was her story, on her terms, and online speculation points toward that journey as a contributor to her demise. She was discovered unresponsive in Greenville, South Carolina.

This all changes when a mysterious bright light envelopes the neighborhood, and strange things begin to happen. Eventually it’s discovered that the subdivision has emerged from the bright light into a prehistoric dinosaur age, and the creatures begin to wreak havoc on the subdivision. Which begs a question in due course… Can the family that slays together stay together?

Film Review: Anthony Bourdain’s Chef Origin Story in ‘Tony’

PatrickMcD — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 23:20:19 +0000

CHICAGO – TONY is one of the better examples of the recent trend towards the mini-biopic. By focusing on a very specific period in the life of the celebrated chef and later writer Anthony Bourdain, it becomes a moving and compelling coming-of-age drama that consistently rings true.

The film takes its inspiration from the early chapters of Bourdain’s best selling book KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL. When we first meet the teenage Tony, as played by Dominic Sessa, he’s coasting on chutzpah and his capacity for B.S. to try to talk his way into a writing fellowship. He’s a smug, ironic smart ass who is firmly convinced he knows better than any of the old fuddy duddies at his university.

At a bar afterwards he congratulates himself on his ability to seemingly pull one over on those college morons. It’s there he sees an old high school classmate named Nancy (Emilia Jones) who as his friend says, is not the approachable type. So naturally, high on his own supply of ego, Tony waltzes right in, stares down her skeptical friends, and strikes up a conversation. He sort of strikes out, but finds out she’s spending the summer in the seaside town of Provincetown in Massachusetts.

TONY has a rolling release on August 7th, 14th and 21st. See local listings. Featuring Dominic Sessa, Antonio Banderas, Emilia Jones, Rich Sommer and Leo Woodall. Written by Matt Johnson, Matthew Miller, Todd Bartels and Lou Howe. Directed by Matt Johnson. Rated “R”

Einbinder is Kris, an indie filmmaker darling whose first feature got enough buzz to allow a major studio to back her and is a reboot of a horror franchise with several previous films in its series. But Kris has an idea … to find Billy Presley (Gillian Anderson), the original star of the first movie, and put her in the reboot. This means going to the small town where Billy is known to reside as a recluse, where Kris finds out she is lives at the original movie location camp from the first film, and is a scholar of the slasher legend who preys on teenage sex called Little Death. Will Kris find what’s she’s looking for?

TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA is in select theaters since August 7th, opening wider on August 14th, including Chicago’s Music Box Theatre. Featuring Hannah Einbinder, Gillian Anderson, Jack Haven, Zach Cherry, and Sarah Sherman. Written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun. Rated “R”
