RIP Carl Weathers

"Carl Weathers is dead at the age of 76. It’s shocking to consider, even though his best-known character, Apollo Creed, in some ways was ultimately defined by his death in 1985’s “Rocky IV.” The franchise went on without him, and ultimately followed his son played by Michael B. Jordan. But for the next 38 years, there was the fact that Weathers was in reality alive, well, in astonishingly great shape, and underutilized."

Another great one leaves this world. I had hoped he would live to see it well past 76, but we get the cards we're dealt. Too me, his portrayal in Predator stands out as one of my favorites.

Loved him in Happy Gilmore!

RIP Mr. Weathers.

That wasn't expected. He was always a specimen of good health. May he RIP.

"Was he vaccinated?"

You don't see the inquiries about vax statuses as it pertains to odd deaths on here as much as we used to.

76 isn't exactly young and I'm sure he did what he felt was necessary for his career, i.e. sports enhancement "things". Living until your 70's or early 80's is a gift these days. 76 is a good run.

RIP 'Dillion'......."you son of a bitc*!!"...

Really sad. Luckily he enjoyed the success of the mandalorian. Thanks Carl.

Dillon!, you son of a bitch. We'll miss you.
