RIP Carl "Creed" Weathers

Very sad to hear of Carl's passing.

Many excellent memories of his acting but some of my personal highlights were:-

Rocky II:- When he read and then chucks some hate mail

Predator:- "Dylan you son of a bitch". Some of the greatest homoeroticism committed to film until Rocky III's infamous beach little shorts scene...

Arrested Development:- Shows us a humourous and self deprecating side by playing a hobo-ish version of himself and coming up with the "You Got Yourself a Stew Going!" catchphrase.

Mandalorian:- Just when you thought he had nothing else to give, he proves himself to be the superior actor to Jack Black by guest starring with a top quality character and yet another catchphrase, which we often enjoyed repeating back when "Heeeeeeey Maaaaando!" was still a fresh show.

All the best Carl. Good luck on the next stage of your journey...

RIP. Barely anyone remembers the shamelessly trashy series Street Justice that CW starred in

I use to watch that show all the time. I've never been able to find it streaming anywhere, unfortunately.

Just found a re-mastered clip of that Arnie handshake and it's glorious:-

Once again, RIP Carl!

It sucks, Apollo was one of the best antagonists in a drama. He was a bit of a prick and egotist but it still didnt sting when he beat rocky. Weathers was always fun to watch in films he had one of those charming personalities.

RIP....

Really liked him a lot in the Rocky films. Also Predator.

Very unfortunate. Carl Weathers always put in a good performance, and I have actually missed seeing him in movies for the past 2 decades. He's a quality actor and doesn't seem right that he didn't get alot of good parts later in his career. I didn't view him as just an action star with a great body, he also had the acting chops as shown in all his Rocky performances.
