MR. T has no pity for the Best Buy chain of discount stores.

The former “A Team” star claims the retailer stole his likeness and made him look like a fool in their ads.

The lawsuit accuses Best Buy, one of the nation’s largest appliance retail chains, of running a November 2002 ad campaign featuring a boxing scene from “Rocky III,” in which Mr. T and Sylvester Stallone fight.

The chain allegedly altered the “noble and serious” boxing sequence by digitally removing Stallone and making it appear that Mr. T was boxing with a “middle aged, balding, out-of-shape” Best Buy salesman.

A Best Buy spokesman said the company does not comment on pending litigation.
