Mr. Carl Weathers

Best boxing nickname ever.

RIP to a legend.

I know it probably won't get called out, but let's not forget one of his first movie roles as the MP trying to keep Richard Dreyfus out of the restricted area in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Just recently, I have seen him all over the Fan Duel Kick of Destiny commercials with Gronk.

Crazy that he is gone so quickly/early, rest in peace.

Carl Weathers dead at 76: Beloved actor for his role as Apollo Creed in the 'Rocky' franchise passes away

Weathers was famous for many of his roles on screen, including "Predator" and "Happy Gilmore"

Weathers was a perfect fit for the role of flashy and cocky world champion Creed opposite Sylvester Stallone's scrappy underdog Rocky Balboa. Weathers recalled the odd tale of his casting when speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in 2015.

"There was nobody to read with, and they said you're going to read with the writer [Stallone]," Weathers said. "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."

Predator was such a good action movie. Great cast, great plot, groundbreaking effects. Still holds up pretty much. They don’t make better action movies than that one.

It might be better now just because it's held up so well.

Weathers in the frienemy role was perfect.

And then he got his arm blown off and stabbed through the chest.

Sly looks pretty good in that video.

Not only was he amazing in the Rocky series, he was incredibly funny in Happy Gilmore. This dude will be missed.
