Humbled after his work in New Orleans, Mr. T has some advice to give to celebs who are looking for a photo op.

Who better to remind us of our own humility than Mr. T?  
  
The iconic actor, known for his mohawk, layers of bling and the catch phrase "I pity the fool," has evidently been pitying a lot of fools after his recent volunteer work in New Orleans.  
  
"As a spiritual man, I felt it would be a sin against my God for me to wear all that gold again because I spent a lot of time with the less fortunate," he said Thursday at the Television Critics Association's summer meeting.  
  
"I saw some, I call it sorry celebrities. They'll go down there and hook up with the people to take a photo-op," he said during the meeting. "If you're not going to go down there with a check and a hammer and a nail to help the people, don't go down there," he said.  
  
Mr. T followed his own advice by taking off his signature chains. The actor will star in the TV show "I Pity the Fool" in the fall, where he will bestow advice to viewers.
