Carl Weathers, linebacker-turned-actor who starred in 'Rocky' movies and 'The Mandalorian', dies
Weather is best known for his role as Apollo Creed in the first four Rocky films. He was 76 years old at the time of his passing. In a statement shared with Deadline, Weather passed away on February 1. Through his contributions to film, television, the arts and sports, he has left an indelible mark and is recognized worldwide and across generations. He was a beloved brother, father, grandfather, partner, and friend. Great dad.
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.
So he changed positions to linebacker and played a large portion of his snaps on special teams. Weathers donned the number 49 for the 1970 season. Upshaw, the five-time All Pro guard, hooked the rookie by extending his arm and knocked Weathers off his feet. Stabler and Weathers were both rookies under Madden in 1970.
He also starred in Action Jackson, and appeared in over 75 films and TV shows throughout his career. Carl Weathers was a cultural icon and off-screen, he was known for his warmth, generosity, and mentorship to many in the industry.
