He led a heck of a life ......was a very good actor (IMO) and an incredible athlete and physical specimen. R.I.P. Mr. Weathers.

I was shocked when I heard the news on the radio this afternoon. RIP Carl Weathers.

Rocky movies wouldn’t have taken off without him. RIP Carl Weathers.

Had the pleasure of seeing him in the stands when me and the wife went to see the Raiders play the Texans back in 2022. Great game and they won by 20.
Great actor not just in Rocky but Happy Gilmore and Predator.

How'd he kick? Sez he died in his sleep. No mention of ongoing illness if applicable.

The original Predator was a great movie, I mean it’s “Beowulf with M16s” as far as the basic idea goes but to have physical powerhouse actors grossly overwhelmed by one enemy gives it an extra that’s lacking in a lot of action movies.
Carl Weathers though, excellent performance. He has to hold his own on screen against the Austrian Oak, convey the “I’m too old for this shit” aspects of his character and leave us cheering his courage as he keep fighting when he should be dead!
As for the Rocky movies, Carl Weathers raised the ambient IQ of the films whenever he was on screen.
RIP Mr Weathers.

Stallone once said that although the studio inadvertently destroyed the footage, the outtakes of him trying to box with Weathers in the first Rocky movie were simply hilarious.

A great, a giant, we will never see his like again. Rest in peace, Mr. Weathers.
