Carl Weathers of Predator fame playing CIA man Dillon and Rocky as Apollo Creed has passed away at 76 .
Also sad to hear Johnnie Irwin passed away after battling cancer . My thoughts go out to his family .

RIP.
Live life and enjoy life because it can be taken from you in a blink of an eye.
Billy Dee Williams played Lando not Carl Weathers.
Ooops yes of course- I’ll edit that

Predator is one of my favourite action movies.

Jonnie gone at 50 with three young kids is such a shame, just not fair.
As for Carl, absolute legend to many of us who lived through the 70s/80s. I never really got Rocky when I was a kid but watching the series again as an adult it really strikes home what a great serial it was/is, and in many ways due to the character of Apollo. Add in Predator, Action Jackson and the well celebrated Force 10 from Navarone - all golden memories for me. Dillon! You son of a bitch! What a scene.
RIP, fellas.
