UFC star Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson will play Sgt Bosco 'BA' Baracus in the movie adaptation of '80s TV series The A-Team.

According to The Vancouver Sun, Jackson has withdrawn from his Ultimate Fighting Championship commitments so that he can appear in the movie. He was reportedly spotted near the film's Vancouver set last Friday.

Jackson was linked to the role last month, but his representative swiftly denied rumours that he would take on the role made famous by Mr T.

The A-Team will star Liam Neeson as Col John 'Hannibal' Smith and The Hangover's Bradley Cooper as Lt Templeton 'Faceman' Peck.
