In the original Rocky, he was a flamboyant champion, in the 2nd he was a heel, in the 3rd he was a mentor, in the 4th a fallen hero. And Carl Weathers handled it all brilliantly. RIP, Champ.

If you died tonight, do you know where you will end up? This is the most important question you will ever ask yourself. The way to find out is if you have obeyed God’s Law, The 10 Commandments. You Shall Not Take the Name of the Lord in Vain. Have you ever used God’s name in place of a bad word? You Shall Not Murder. God tells us if we get angry without cause or hate someone, we are guilty. You Shall Not Commit Adultery. Jesus tells us, whoever looks at anyone to lust after them has already committed adultery with them in their heart. Have you ever looked with lust? You Shall Not Steal. Have you ever taken something that did not belong to you no matter the value? You Shall Not Bear False Witness. Have you ever told a lie, even just one little “white lie?” We can violate God’s Law by attitude or intent. This is just half of The 10 Commandments. We know we will ALL be found guilty and since God is a righteous Judge, He will have to punish us for breaking His Law. That punishment is eternal conscious torment in a place called hell. But God loves us so much that He provided a way to be forgiven for breaking His Law. Jesus Christ lived the only perfect life ever and took our punishment for our sin when He died on the cross. All we have to do is turn from our sins and receive Jesus Christ into our heart and we will have eternal life. This is a FREE gift from God. Once we take our last breath, our eternity is sealed . . . forever.

One thing about Carl he was sharp articulate and quick with his speech . Always carried a scene perfect7 cast and as you can see in this interview energetic and charismatic. Like most people all over the world I grew up watching this great underrated actor and enjoyed every minute of his screen time.

Just about to turn 40 when this was taped; Leno is 2 years younger.

Carl was one of those rare actors you were always happy to see pop up on screen. It didn't matter how large or small the role was. If you saw his face appear on screen, you'd smile and say heyyyy its Carl Weathers.

RIP to a Legend! We keep losing them year after year, legacy matters, death inspires me to be a better human

RIP Carl. He will always be Apollo Creed to me. This interview shows how much of a good guy he was and he will be missed.

This guy had charisma, elegance, the body of a God, a great smile, was well spoken, humble and funny. He had a couple of iconic roles and a very good career, but I think he deserved way more than what he got.

totally memorable in all his performances and that's what makes a good actor.
