TOP 10 Actors you never heard of, but would recognize on the street and remember them for being awesome.
#2 Carl Weathers

Carl Weathers. Apollo Creed. Chubbs. he is a member of the olympics committee and a new orleans native. He is also a beast of a man. He played football for the Oakland Raiders in the early 1970's. He wanted to come back from the dead in the new Rocky Movie but Stallone wouldnt let him.
Really Sly? Let's look at that movie. The Heavyweight Champion sees an ESPN report that says Rocky would have beat him in his prime. So

he gets all pissed off and challenges a 60 year old Rocky Balboa to a boxing match. But that's not before you waste all of our time by inexplicably killing off Adrian. then you make your son a big pussy. Then you go back to Rocky I and bring back characters from that? Hey Stallone, maybe you shoulda snuck her in through one of your 4000 80's movie montages in Rocky III and Rocky IV. Then you go the distance and had the gall to create a special ending where you WIN the match. On top of the abusrdity of all of it, really just all of the Rocky movies, you REALLY wouldnt bring Apollo Creed back from the dead? Since when do you have standards? Maybe you could have brought Apollo Creed back in robot form. You know, like that inexplicable robot appearance in Rocky IV?

All I can say is, when Rocky VII comes out, I hope Tommy Gunn is feeding you mashed potatoes in a nursing home, Clubber Lang is blowing coke off a 22 year old hooker he found in the south side, and Paulie is pissing on Ivan Drago's grave after the KGB killed him. Maybe you can fight some 80 year old lady who keeps cheating at bingo. Or maybe, just maybe, you can start an acting career that doesnt involve playing the same retard that we saw in cliffhanger and judge dredd.
Apollo Creed was a fearless champion. He allowed Rocky the chance of a lifetime when he offered him a shot at the title. Rocky would shock the world by going the distance with Creed. Creed hadn't taken the fight too seriously to start with and he paid for it dearly. Rocky II begins with an hour of boring crap about Adrian being sick. Dumb. But the fight in Rocky II might me my

favorite out of all the Rocky movies.
With Creed finally losing in II, he retires. After Clubber Lang kills Mickey and then taunts Creed before beating the shit out of Rocky, Apollo takes it upon himself to rebuild Rocky's bruised ego. They train on the beach and do a bunch of really 80's montage fun stuff. When Rocky beats Clubber at the end, everyone is vindicated.
Stallone could have ended it at 3 like most normal people, but apparently Sly was feeling political and wanted to make a Cold War statement. Apollo had been out of the loop for too long, and he wanted to destroy that Russian clown Ivan Drago. Unfortunately, Creed bit off a little more than he could chew. In fact, he ended up biting Drago's fist until he went braindead. It's hard to say Creed died in vein, his intro to a live performance by James Brown "Livin in America" was a performance for the ages. That's how I'll remember Apollo Creed.

Back to Carl Weathers, who else can say they acted on screen with not 1, but 2 GOVERNORS.

That's right. who could forget Weathers in Predator? Alongside Arnold and Jesse the Body Ventura. Predator was a pretty awesome movie and Weathers delivered a perofrmance worthy of best supporting actor with those facial expressions throughout the movie. Not to mention, Weathers made 2 guest appearances on the BEST TV SHOW EVER MADE, The Shield. He played Vic Mackey's mentor, the guy who taught Vic everything he knew. In case you haven't seen the Shield, Vic Mackey is awesome.

Lastly, Weathers played the mentor role as Chubbs in Happy Gilmore. With his wooden hand and positive attitude, he guided Happy to that gold jacket, but never got to see it due to that untimely death. Death wasn't all bad, Chubbs got his hand back and learned to play the piano. We've only just begunnnnn. All in all, Carl Weathers is as close to awesome as you can get in terms of actors. Yet, one more awaits, and he also starred in Happy Gilmore...
