The actor stood before a painting of him and Weathers boxing and said, "Carl Weathers was such an integral part of my life, my success... I give him incredible credit and kudos.

The acclaimed actor has touched on everything from Happy Gilmore to Toy Story while also establishing himself as a renowned director. Working as both an actor and director in The Mandalorian, which role do you enjoy most? It is all about putting the pieces in the right place, supporting the talent to tell the story as artistically as you can. Part of the episode prominently featured a flashback to Order 66, a moment many fans were thrilled to see. What was it like being able to turn back time and revisit that era of Star Wars? For me, it was fantastic.

Преданный, как черт. Смешной до чертиков. Любил своих сыновей больше всего на свете. Вот это парень!!!
Все его любили. Мы с женой проводили с ним лучшие времена каждый раз, когда видели его. С любовью ко всей его семье, и Карл всегда будет известен как настоящая легенда», — уверен Сэндлер.

He also voiced Combat Carl in the "Toy Story" franchise. Sandler hailed his friend on social media, calling him a "great man" and "a true legend" -- "So much fun to be around always. Smart as hell.
Loyal as hell.

Funny as hell. Others he idolized included actors Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte and athletes Jim Brown and Muhammad Ali, stars who broke the mold and the color barrier.

Carl was an exceptional human being who lived an extraordinary life. Carl Weathers has sadly died Image: He was best known for his role as Creed in the Rocky film franchise Image: Getty Images They also said his work will be remembered for generations. The statement, shared with the Daily Mail , continued: "Through his contributions to film, television, the arts and sports, he has left an indelible mark and is recognised worldwide and across generations. He was a beloved brother, father, grandfather, partner, and friend. In the iconic film, Creed gave Rocky Sylvester Stallone his shot at the title. Carl managed to land a part in the Rocky film franchise in a rather unique way. So I just insulted the star of the movie without really knowing it and not intending to," he told The Hollywood Reporter.
Tributes have been pouring in for Carl, with Pedro Pascal writing on Instagram : "Words fail," adding a broken heart emoji.
Fifty years later, the athlete turned actor sees parallels in how he found success in two of the most competitive occupations in the world. His drive is fueled by a need to survive and a fear of what will happen if he gives in. That mindset propelled him from New Orleans to a pro football career in Oakland and eventually Hollywood.
But before that, he was Carl Weathers, undrafted linebacker. His NFL career lasted only two years. And, to this day, he remembers the words spoken to him by a legendary coach that ended it. From football to gymnastics to, yes, boxing, his obsession with the drawing applause and approval he received through competition and performance fueled him in every endeavor.
By the time he got his athletic scholarship to St. Augustine High School, he performed in nonunion productions in choirs and with bands across New Orleans. Weathers says there are still records out there somewhere of him singing with a handful of companies. But at the time football was still his top priority.
His talents eventually landed him at San Diego State, as a transfer student, where he played defensive end for Hall of Fame coach Don Coryell. After that season, he went unselected in the 1970 NFL draft but his connection to an old friend helped him land on his feet. Hall had become a linebackers coach for the Raiders. Weathers called him to let him know he was interested in Oakland, and he was given a shot at making the roster.
Он получил популярность после съемок в фильмах «Рокки», «Хищник», «Счастливчик Гилмор» и «Никки, дьявол-младший». Артист также исполнил роль экранной версии самого себя в комедийном сериале «Замедленное развитие». Был номинирован на премию «Эмми Прайм-тайм» в номинации «Лучший приглашенный актер в драматическом сериале» за работу в сериале «Мандалорец».
Об этом пишет Variety со ссылкой на его менеджера Мэтта Любера. Актер сыграл роль Крида в первых четырех фильмах «Рокки» вместе с Сильвестром Сталлоне. Американский актер также снимался в фильме «Хищник» 1987 года и сыграл запоминающуюся роль в «Счастливчике Гилморе» Адама Сэндлера. Он был номинирован на премию Primetime Emmy Award как лучший приглашенный актер в драматическом сериале за работу в «Мандалорце».
