Died suddenly?

Was scheduled to appear at Dublin Comicon in March

Just shot a series of ads for this year’s Super Bowl with Rob Gronkowski

That sucks, good actor.

A great metaphor for God (Apollo) being warned by Jesus (trainer) about Me (Babylon / Balboa):

If you’ve never watched Arrested Development (funny, funny show BTW), Weathers appears as a version of himself in several episodes. The version they wrote is incredibly twisted and hilarious (broke, unemployed, always stealing food). Dude had a great sense of humor and obviously didn’t take himself too seriously.

R.I.P.

Great show, saw it.

“ Unclear what ailments, if any, Carl may have been battling lately ... he'd been actively acting in recent years -- and on the surface, there didn't seem to be much wrong with him.”

I thought Carl did a very good job in the Mandalorian series as Greef Karga. Going to miss him, damn fine actor and part of a quickly fading list of notable action stars from the 70's-80's. RIP Mr. Weathers.

dang, he was a great actor and his craft got better with age


RIP brother

I just pray he wasn't vaxxed and boosted and some other ailment caused his death at 76, he kept in very good shape his entire life.

that's three times...

just today..

He was 76. Could have been anything, maybe the previous years of roid usage in the 70's. 76 is pretty normal for someone to be able to just die.

If he dies....he dies.

No kidding... That's terrible... Bummer

:sadwave:

I agree…he was a nice addition and proved how versatile he was, as it seemed like he would’ve been out of his element.

I saw him interviewed recently and he was a hard working guy and not woke…

RIP CW

RIP Apollo Creed

If you are over the average age of life expectancy.

"Died suddenly" no longer applies.

Come one man use your head...

Beats getting kilt by the predator^_^

He was just in a commercial where he took Gronk to a field to practice field goal kicking for some Superbowl related thing....so I'll assume that was filmed recently.

Man was in good shape for his age.

Sad news. travel well, Mr. Weathers

It's all in the hips.RIP

He was a football player, yes?

Rest in Peace you were loved, Sir.

I had to go look and see if he was this guy from Repo Man, but this was Sy Richardson

These days (well, pre COVID vaxx at least), he was at the average…which means the top of the bell curve. Still a lot of years on the other slope. 76 isn’t that old…expensive for someone who appeared to have no serious ailments. What are you, 23?

That's to bad, he was a cool dude
