R.I.P. Carl Weathers

[Drago]

Passed away in his sleep age 76.

Great actor, Rocky wouldn't have been half the film it was without the intense performance from Weathers making Apollo Creed so believable.

Bit rich you starting the thread, you killed him in 1985.

One of my favourite ends of a film:

[Drago]

The Master of Disaster, the Count of Monte Fist-O, the King of Sting, the Thane of Pain, the Price of Punch.

Bugger.

He was great in The Mandalorian if you've seen that.

 

[dan_bo]

Looked like a properly top bloke.

[MichaelW2]

He was a foil to both Sly and Arny (Predator) and even Clint Eastward, as an extra in Magum Force.

 

[Drago]

Let us not forget his surprisingly good turn in Wild Geese II.

 

[Aescott]

Played a brilliant pastiche of himself in Arrested Development.

I was just about to start a thread off before seeing this one.

Rocky, Action Jackson, and Predator was what I knew him for, but he had quite a varied career when you take a proper look.

 

[wiggydiggy]

He did a pilot for BBC3 years ago called Phoo Action, weird thing where the royal family were being turned into mutants (if you don't think they are already!).

I thought he was an actor, didn't know that he did documentaries as well.
