Carl Weathers linebacker-turned-actor who starred in Rocky movies dies - sharon_orn - 01-01-2025
Carl Weathers, a former linebacker who became a Hollywood action movie and comedy star, playing nemesis-turned-ally Apollo Creed in the "Rocky" movies, facing off against Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Predator" and teaching golf in "Happy Gilmore," has died. He was 76.Matt Luber, his manager, said Weathers died Thursday. His family i sued a statement saying he died "peacefully in his sleep."Comfortable flexing his muscles on the big screen in "Action Jackson" as he was joking around on the small screen in such shows as "Arrested Development," Weathers was perhaps most closely a sociated with Creed, who made his first appearance as the cocky, undisputed heavyweight world champion in 1976s "Rocky," starring Sylvester Stallone.ADVERTISEMENT "It puts you on the map and makes your career, so to speak," he told The Daily Beast in 2017. "But thats a one-off, so youve got to follow it up with something. Fortunately those movies kept coming, and Apollo Creed became more and more in peoples consciousne s and welcome in their lives, and it was just the right guy Jason Kidd Jersey at the right time."Most recently, Weathers starred in the Disney+ hit "The Mandalorian," appearing in all three seasons."We lost an icon," former "Predator" co-star Je se Ventura wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "Carl Weathers was a phenomenal talent, a true profe sional and a dear friend."Creed, who appeared in the first four "Rocky" movies, memorably died in the ring of 1984s "Rocky IV," going toe-to-toe with the hulking, steroided-using Soviet Ivan Drago, played by Dolph Lundgren. Before he entered the ring, James Brown sang "Living in America" with showgirls and Creed popped up on a balcony in a Star-Spangled Banner shorts and waistcoat combo and an Uncle Sam hat, dancing and taunting Drago Courtney Lee Jersey .A bloodied Creed collapses in the ring after taking a vicious beating, twitches and is cradled by Rocky as he dies, inevitably setting up a fight between Drago and Rocky. But while Creed is gone, his characters son, Michael B. Jordans Adonis Creed, would lead his own boxing trilogy starting in 2015.Weathers went on to 1987s "Predator," where he flexed his pecs alongside Ventura, Schwarzenegger and a host of others, and 1988s nouveau blaxploitation flick "Action Jackson," where he trains his flamethrower on a bad guy and asks, "How do you like your ribs?" before broiling him.He later added a false wooden hand to play a golf pro for the 1996 comedy cla sic "Happy Gilmore" opposite Adam Sandler and starred in Dick Wolfs short-lived spin-off series "Chicago Justice" in 2017 and in Disneys "The Mandalorian," earning an Emmy Award nomination in 2021. He also voiced Combat Carl in the "Toy Story" franchise.Sandler hailed his friend on social media, calling him a "great man" and "a true legend" "So much fun to be around always. Smart as hell. Loyal as hell. Funny as hell."Weathers grew up admiring actors such as Woody Strode, whose combination of physique and acting prowe s in "Spartacus" made an early impre sion. Others he idolized included actors Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte and athletes Jim Brown and Muhammad Ali, stars who broke the mold and the color barrier."There are so many people that came before me who I admired and whose succe s I wanted to emulate, and just kind of hit the benchmarks they hit in terms of succe s, who created a pathway that Ive been able to walk and find succe s as a result," he told the Detroit News 2023. Antonius Cleveland Jersey "Hopefully I can inspire someone else to do good work as well. I gue s Im just a lucky guy."Growing up in New Orleans, Weathers started performing in plays as early as grade school. In high school, athletics took him down another path, but he would reunite with his first love later in life.Weathers played college football at he majored in theater and went on to play for one season in the NFL, for the Oakland , in 1970."When I found football, it was a completely different outlet," Weathers told the Detroit News. "It was more about the physicality, although one does feed the other. You needed some smarts because there were playbooks to study and film to study, to learn about the opposition on any given week."After the Raiders, he joined the Canadian Football League, playing for two years while finishing up his studies during the offseason at San Francisco State University. He graduated with a bachelor's in drama in 1974.After appearing in several films and TV shows, including "Good Wes Iwundu Jersey Times," "The Six Million Dollar Man," "In the Heat of the Night" and "Starsky & Hutch," as well as fighting Nazis alongside Harrison Ford in "Force 10 From Navarone," Weathers landed his knockout role Creed. He told The Hollywood Reporter that his start in the iconic franchise was not auspicious.He was asked to read with the writer, Stallone, then unknown. Weathers read the scene but felt it didnt land, so he blurted out: "I could do a lot better if you got me a real actor to work with," he recalled. "So I just insulted the star of the movie without really knowing it and not intending to." He also lied that he had any Willie Cauley-Stein Jersey boxing experience.Later in life, Weathers developed a pa sion for directing, helming episodes of "Silk Stalkings" and the Lorenzo Lamas vehicle "Renegade." He directed a season three episode of "The Mandalorian."Weathers introduced himself to another generation when he portrayed himself as an opportunistic and extremely thrifty actor who becomes involved with the dysfunctional clan at the heart of "Arrested Development."The Weathers character likes to save money by making broth from discarded food "Theres still plenty of meat on that bone" and "Baby, you got a stew going!" and, for the right price, agrees to become an acting coach for delusional and talent-free thespian Tobias Funke, played by David Cro s.Weathers is survived by two sons.Reporting by The A sociated Pre s.
