Ngl, I literally thought of the dad from Family Matters when I read the thread title But it's Winslow, not Weathers.

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.

carl was entertaining af. seemed like he genuinely enjoyed his roles. can't imagine anyone else filling the role of creed like he did.

fuc*. you know you're getting older when your childhood heroes start dying off. they're all old now too - pacino, deniro, arnold, stallone. who is there now of that caliber? none.

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.
