You may have heard that the great Carl Weathers has died at age 76.

Weathers starred with Sylvester Stallone in four “Rocky” movies as Apollo Creed. His character is the father of the Michael B. Jordan character in the “Creed” movies. Weathers has a long resume besides “Rocky,” but that’s his iconic film character. He was so popular after Rocky that he appeared in the James Brown video, “Living in America.”

See Stallone’s heartfelt video tribute to his old friend.
