Apollo Creed dead
https://deadline.com/2024/02/carl-we...ad-1235812684/
Carl Weathers, who starred as Apollo Creed in the first four Rocky films and appeared in Predator, The Mandalorian, Happy Gilmore, Action Jackson and dozens of other films and TV shows, died Tuesday, his family announced. He was 76. “We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Carl Weathers,” his family said in a statement. “He died peacefully in his sleep on Thursday, February 1st, 2024. … Carl was an exceptional human being who lived an extraordinary life. Through his contributions to film, television, the arts and sports, he has left an indelible mark and is recognized worldwide and across generations. He was a beloved brother, father, grandfather, partner, and friend.” Related Stories Hollywood & Media Deaths In 2024: Photo Gallery & Obituaries Michael Westmore Make-up & Hair Stylists Guild career awards Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Sets Michael Westmore For Vanguard Award Born on January 14, 1948, in New Orleans, Weathers appeared in more than 75 films and TV shows during his 50-year screen career. He appeared in nine episodes of the Disney+ Star Wars series The Mandalorian over three season and voiced Combat Carl in the Oscar-winning Toy Story 4 and originating the character for the 2013 TV special Toy Story of Terror. Other credits include his 1988 star turn in Action Jackson, which came after he starred opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1987’s Predator. But he is best known for playing Apollo Creed, the heavyweight champion of the world who gave journeyman Philly boxer Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) a shot at the title in 1976’s Rocky. Weathers reprised the role in Rocky II (1979), which featured a title rematch with Balboa, and 1982’s Rocky III, where he brawled with Clubber Lang (Mr. T). Creed’s final film in the franchise was Rocky IV (1985), where he was killed in the ring by Russian heavyweight Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren). Weathers also had a memorable turn as Derick “Chubbs” Peterson opposite Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore, playing the title character’s golf coach. Peterson was a pro golfer who was forced to leave the tour after losing his hand to an alligator; his wooden replacement hand was the source of many gags. He was badly injured while filming a fall stunt during the Happy Gilmore shoot, leading to years of terrible pain. “I didn’t know it until years later, but I fractured two vertebrae and osteophytes grew out and connected, and it did a kind of self-fuse in a really bad place,” he told GQ in a 2020 interview. “There were three or four years there where I was just in excruciating pain.” |

I meant it as a joke, but changed my mind afterwards which is why I deleted it.
