3 Degrees from Mr. T

Today while taking a dinner break from doing night scouting of locations for a film project the cinematographer and I were watching I Love the 80’s 3D (the 3rd installment of 80’s nostalgia, they’ve probably got 2 more good ones left). In 1983 there was a grand little film made that stared Gary Busey and Mr. T this film was called D.C. Cab: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085387/

Anywho . . . the cinematographer mentioned to me that in High School his Spanish teacher was engaged to Mr. T. The fact that Mr. T was engaged to a woman that went on to become a Spanish teacher is awesome enough. BUT the real cool thing about this is that through me working with this guy, whose Spanish teacher was engaged to Mr. T, I am now no more than 3 degrees* removed from knowing Mr. T (go ahead and intend whatever pun you want); and that is the sort of fodder fit for a blog.

* I am not counting myself because I do not think you have to do that.
