NFT: RIP Carl Weathers

but it was still good to see him. Sorry to hear this.

.

and he is in all of those Kick of destiny commercials. Ugh, that will be a sad reminder.

He was great in Rocky and did a really good job in the Mandalorian.

He was recently in The Mandalorian.

Damn. Obviously he was great as ‘Apollo’, but loved him as ‘Chubbs’ too.

He was great in Happy Gilmore too…Dylan! You son of a bitch…

...himself

RIP.

This shit makes Cambodia look like Kansas!

RIP

Briefly, at least

RIP Carl. I liked him as Michael Strahan’s dad playing the old coach on the (one season and done, I think) on that TV show.

So many great roles.

Dillon, you son of a bitch.

...the 'Chasing Scratch' golf pod? Unfortunate and sad^2

Nice chat the boys had very recently with Carl about his background, the famous roles, etc.
Link to last week's interview - ( New Window )

Force 10 from Navarone. RIP

Sad news.

Thanks for so many awesome characters and performances

He is an all-timer.

Loved him in Predator too as some posters mentioned.

The handshake with Arnold "DILLON!.... What's the matter CIA has you pushing too many pencils?"...... I still do this and recite this line with some of my friends.

Someone needs to post the GIF.

He was great!

I enjoyed him in the Rocky movies. I remember seeing him The Shield for a few episodes as Vic's former partner.

Fantastic actor and it seemed like he was a great human being, too. He will be missed.

What a career. Apollo. Action Jackson. Dillon. Chubbs.

Gold in everything he did. RIP.

Or just half priced appetizers and select menu items?

years ago I went on a few dates with a woman. She broke it off because she was also dating someone else and she chose the other guy. Later I found out the other guy was Carl Weathers. She married him. It didn't last but the wedding was a thing online.

Worked out great for me. A couple of days later I met my wife.

He had a long history of great performances. I'm sad to hear that he passed. Still doing very good work in The Mandalorian.

This one hits hard for me

He had a spare!

an already rough day got more shitty hearing this. RIP to an old favorite.

We got to meet him briefly at a con, seemed like a good guy in our brief interaction.

RIP

This one hits home.

RIP.

He was great in so many roles. Plus he was making a comeback in the Mandalorian.

Podcast pulled due to obvious circumstances. Hopefully it will be made availlabe for posterity.

That really sucks. He wasn’t that old

I know Rocky was the iconic role but the way he acted in Predator helped make that movie such a classic.

He was great in Rocky and most roles Ive seen.

I know he passed in his sleep. I wonder what it was.

The guy was super charismatic in every one of his roles.

Since his time as Apollo Creed to Mandalorian

Died way to soon

that is how I would describe him too

.

Apollo Creed. You know they say the football world 'mourns
his loss'...To be honest, most people don't really remember him as a football player. He only played 2 years I believe.
I know I don't, and I'm no spring chicken, just saying. In the Rocky movies, at least he looked similar to a heavyweight fighter in size. Some of these boxing movies, the guys don't look close to a heavyweight, ie., Michael B. Jordan in 'Creed'.
