Title: RIP Carl Weathers Post by: Dave Gray on February 02, 2024, 09:45:12 pm It's funny how this guy became connected to so many things I've liked over the years.
Predator is rad. It's still a movie I love to this day. He was in Rocky, which was not a franchise I really knew. I saw the original Rocky just a few years ago for the first time and I enjoyed Creed. But I know that Weathers was important to that series. He was in Happy Gilmore, which was just an important movie for my age and where I was in life when it came out. But I really love Weathers in Arrested Development. That role still cracks me up to this day and I've rewatched that show a bunch. And then, the dude shows up in Star Wars. Great career. RIP.

Weathers was second only to Rocky himself in the first 2 movies and not far behind Mr T and Dolph Lundgren in the next 2. I always loved everything he did. He will always be Apollo Creed and Jericho "Action" Jackson to me. Great actor and seemed like a pretty good guy. Predator is rad. It's still a movie I love to this day.

One of the real good guys (again) has gone -- and someone who is a lot more complex and deep than people will ever give him credit for.

RIP
