RIP brother
This is the worst part of an 80's childhood. All the larger than life characters from the silver screen start getting old and dying on you.
R.I.P. you glorious bastard.
Huh? This is not unique to the 80s
Depends on your generation.
Lots of 70s folks died and I shrugged.
But as I'm a 80s kid, I hits hard.
The 80s were special for cinema so it kind of is unique
Every decade after the 1920s has been special for cinema for the generation that treasured it.
Action movies weren't the same before or after the 80s though, it was their greatest decade
Very much still cherry picking here.
Well, it's an action movie actor we're talking about
RIP Carl. His Arrested Development skit will always be funny af.
I hope he's got a stew going in heaven.
Actor Carl Weathers?!
76 is too young. There was still plenty of meat left on his bones.
Ooooo I didn't realize he had one. Will have to watch :)
That's always a good idea.
Raider legend Carl Weathers. R.i.p. my guy. Imma get a stew goin tonight in your honor.
Finally gone to hang out with Lincoln and that alligator.
And probably the Mista-Mista lady who was crushed by the AC unit…
Take it easy Chubbs, you will be missed.
Hey, you mambo?
I absolutely love his portrayal of Greef Karga. Really liked him and his character. I think he should have been included in the SWCU a long long LONG time ago. He will be missed. Rest in peace Carl, thank you for your body of work.
I'm trying to think about how they proceed (or not) with his character in the Mando series…
From what I can find filming is supposed to start this month. I was really hoping we would get just one more bit, but I don't think that's going to happen.
At least his story kind of came to a conclusion… Enough for me to be satisfied with how it ended.
Imagine working in that casting department. Think about the bar tabs they must have.
Pour out some stew for our brother.
He was great as Carl Weathers in Arrested Development. That role fit him so well
Damn, that's a bummer. I had no idea he was 76, dude could've been 50something.
He was 40 when he was in Predator!? Damn, as someone just on the wrong side of 40, that is a blow to the ol' body image.
It could have been roids. They were all taking them.
Just tap it in.
It’s all in the hips
It’s all in the hips
Tap tap taparoo
didn't realize he spent two seasons with the Raiders in the early 70s, and he got a theater degree while playing football for SDSU
Go Aztecs
alma mater of HoFer Marshall Faulk
I hated that guy in college. He ran all over us.
RIP legend. He always acted his ass off, every role.
i fucking found this out while i was eating burger king i picked up on the way home. i feel this is appropriate.
As I read the headline, a gambling ad with him in it popped up on my tv. So weird.
Dude that sucks, he was a real talent. One of the few actors who I think could have done just as good a job as Carl Winslow on Family Matters.
R.I.P. big dude.
ah....man....
