Mr. T, aka Harbor Mist, hams it up for the camera on the set of Arthur in Long Island at the Old Westbury Gardens.   Mr. T had several scenes with funnyman Russell Brand who stars as the lead character, Arthur, in the new film of the same name.  Russell  was quite apprehensive about horses until he met T.  They bonded throughout the filming and Russell soon learned to trust T in all the scenes which required some dialogue with the horse as well as riding double behind Jennifer Garner who plays his chosen bride to be.

Mr. T is a seasoned Hollywood horse who has spent many months on various sets filming complex scenes.  It is hard to believe he was a race horse off the track transformed by master horse trainer, Rex, into a professional actors dream horse.
