Wonder if he was writing/filming Rocky at the same time

Sure is, one of his early bit parts. He plays one of the punk hoodlums in this.

I heard a scene with Cheryl 'Rainbeaux' Smith they were in together.

He gets billing in the supporting cast fairly high up, above others.

When I saw Rocky, I knew who he was from THIS movie.

Just like, when I first saw The Sopranos, James Gandofini was familiar to me from True Romance and many other films. Critics were acting like he was "new," but he wasn't.

...and two year's earlier, in Altman's film of Chandler's "The Long Goodbye"(with Elliott Gould as Marlowe), one of the punk hoodlums assisting gangster Mark Rydell is...Arnold Schwarzenegger.

you are so right. i stand corrected. i have been reading up on rocky this week, and his initial monday meeting with winkler was in march of 75. so you are exactly right, from march through the end of 75 he woulda been dug in on rocky.

i guess that means this had to have been filmed in the first two months of 75. or, as often happens, maybe it was filmed in late 74 and given a 75 date for some reason.
