I would post "If he dies, he dies", but too soon.

RIP Apollo Creed.

Carl Winslow. They both have the same initials.

But your comment reminded me that Steve Urkle's girlfriend, Myra, also died. As well as Rosetta LeNoire.

I found this snippet funny about how Weathers got the Apollo gig


“There was nobody to read with, and they said you’re going to read with the writer [Stallone],” Weather says, beginning to chuckle.

“And we read through the scene and at the end of it, I didn’t feel like it had really sailed, that the scene had sailed, and they were quiet and there was this moment of awkwardness, I felt, anyway. So I just blurted out, ‘I could do a lot better if you got me a real actor to work with,'” he says, laughing. “So I just insulted the star of the movie without really knowing it and not intending to.”

Apparently Stallone felt the verbal jab was something Apollo would say. “Sometimes the mistakes are the ones that get you the gig,” Weathers adds.

There's plenty of great actors now, they just don't have the same type of roles. Action films in particular have kind of gotten tired.

Man this one hurts cause he was still in the spotlight with The Mandalorian. Way too young. Great actor. Awesome guy all around.

RIP to the great Carl Weathers

Believe it or not, but I was having the same conversation with a friend of mine couple days ago. Which Hollywood action heroes today have similar personality, charisma, and badass style as those 70s/80s/90s action heroes? It's going to be the end of the generation man, and it makes me sad =[

I would also add Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan Harrison Ford and Jean-Claude van Damme and Bruce Willis to that list. All amazing action heroes

yeah they all had unique character and entertainment value, despite most of them being mediocre actors.

Who are action heroes of this generation?

Michael B Jordan? Tom Holland? Chris Pratt?
