NOOOOOO, , I liked him. He was still in decent shape at 76 but cannot beat father time.

Fuck, that's sad news.

He had a ton of charisma. Not that old that he should die.

 

[Goodoer]

This guy is a 80s legend. Rocky, Action Jackson, Predator and now The Mandalorian. I'm legit sad.

 

[massman]

Seemed like a good guy, and a decent character actor.

 

[Insidious Von]

Very under-rated actor, he could play anything, A legend takes leave of us.

That's pretty sick Chubs.

When Wesley Snipes was hot I kept thinking to myself why doesn't some director give that kind of push to Carl Weathers.

 

[Insidious Von]

Carl Weathers didn't need a push to get projects. if you look at his filmography it's impressive.

This is one of those deaths where you realize just how old you are. I mean watching those Rocky movies on TNT during Christmas time was such a staple for so many years, and just another sign that times have changed, and you start questioning your own mortality.

He was doing good work both in front of and behind the camera right up to the end. (Loved him on The Mandalorian.)

Kind of sucks that the last thing he was in was The Mandalorian's terrible third season.
