Damn. Apollo was one of the most iconic characters in film history.
Loved his God of Basketball character on Regular Show

Listen don't jinx it. We need to build a protective fence around Bill Duke and Tony Todd; they and Carl were like THOSE Black action stars from all the movies back then.

Wow. Was just commenting when we watched it, how great and healthy he looked in the Mandalorian. This really sucks. Thank you for the memories and all the characters on film you gave to us. From Apollo Creed, Al Dillon, Action Jackson, Combat Carl, all the way to Greef Karga. Rest in peace Mr Carl Weathers.
He and Laurence Fishburne and Denzel are going in the Bubble
One of the all-time great tough guy actors, but he could really do it all. I can't think of anything in which I didn't enjoy his work, and of course Apollo Creed is a ridiculously good performance that required every bit of his considerable skillset.
He obviously still had so much gas in the tank, and seemed to love what he did. It's heartbreaking to lose him so soon.

My family and I watched Rocky I and Rocky II in the last few months and he was so good in Rocky II we were kinda rooting for him the whole film.

It's not gonna be easy when Billy Dee Williams and James Earl Jones go. Both of those legends are up there age-wise, James Earl Jones is sitting at 93 years old.
RIP
He seemed so energetic in the last season of Mandalorian and during his appearance at Celebration last year. Damn shame… he will be missed!

Still shocked form this. He seemed to be in good shape. :(
Really underrated actor with very iconic and legendary roles and amazing person.
RIP, you son of a bitch and champ.

RIP Mr. Weathers.
I remember seeing Action Jackson when I was a kid — my uncle had a VHS copy amongst a bunch of other action movies.

People's hearts just stop in their sleep all the time - especially when you're over 75. I'm gonna assume that unless the family says otherwise.
