Be Somebody... or Be Somebody's Fool!

Be Somebody... or Be Somebody's Fool!

Be Somebody... or Be Somebody's Fool! is a 1984 motivational video hosted by Mr. T and distributed by MCA Home Video. The production draws strongly on new wave and R&B culture of the mid-1980s to appeal to children to respect elders, avoid peer pressure, and build self-confidence. It features a showcase of emerging talent, including Ice-T, Martika, Fergie, Janice Kawaye, Tammy Townsend, Bumper Robinson, Shanice, and New Edition with Bobby Brown. The video has led to a proliferation of video clips that are circulated on the Internet. The project was produced by Topper Carew, a sitcom writer who had worked alongside Mr. T as a producer and writer on the feature film D.C. Cab. Mr. T returned to motivational roles for the 2006 television series I Pity the Fool. A companion book by St. Martin's Press and a soundtrack album by MCA Records were also released in conjunction with the video.
