This is really shocking..

Just my two cents worth..Carl Weathers played Apollo Creed with some much strength and grace that he made the character have a lot of dignity not some African American villain from the black exportation era..a lot of his other characters were played the same way.. especially in the Mandalorian.. recently I noticed he was part of the fan duel commercials for the Super bowl..I was thinking wow the guy looks so fit and handsome, hopefully he will be in other projects. Well, the answer is he Will, the ultimate project of working with the Lord's will. Yes for his fans Carl Weathers was called home too soon yet we cherish the joy his acting abilities brought to us for the past five decades..God Bless and may Carl Weathers rest in Heaven peacefully..

What a fantastic Actor.. Mostly played the anti Hero roles so well he made the audience feel there was some method to his madness. Well, he definitely wasn't Warren Beatty's favorite actor after what he did in love scene with Warren's then girlfriend squeeze at the time Julie Christie in "Don't Look Now"..



My man Donald handled his "business".. Bravo Job well done.. By far one of the world's greatest character actors of all time. Bravo job well done. Definitely will be missed.



RIP Donald Sutherland.

Absolutely. in Ordinary People playing the peacemaker between his trouble teenage son and wife. just an excellent performance and he should have been nominated for an Oscar . I remember he was one of my favorite as a kid in Kelly Hero's playing the character Odd Ball and when he played the German Spy in "Eye of the Needle". He will be missed.

He was given an honorary Oscar in 2017 for his years of work but he should have won at least one. Well, that happens for a lot of great actors, NEVER winning the Academy Award members are the most derelict of academies. E.g. How could Paul Newman not win best actor for Cool Hand Luke or Denzel Washington for Malcolm X.! SMH2

Can you believe he was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor but was the ONLY one of the core of the Ordinary People staff that wasnt nominated for an Oscar.. This was one of the most unfair and biggest snubs EVER

Everyone but Donald.. SMH2

Everyone or anyone but Donald seems to be a trend in the US. Mickey Mouse was probably more popular than Donald Duck too.

Very good interview by Anderson Cooper on Donald. First time I saw this was yesterday. Look at how he took some honest thoughts from a question he asked his mother about If he was good looking to become one of the most sort out actors of his generation.This is a real testimony how you have to take what the good Lord gives you and live the BEST life you can.
