and just the greatest scene ever from Rocky 3


Played on Don Coryell's undefeated San Diego State team in 1969, drafted by the Raiders and played on their 1970 AFC Championship team

Was he ever nominated for that role in any of the 3. He was just so damn good as Apollo creed.

I don't know if he was ever nominated for anything, but I certainly agree that Apollo Creed was one of the all-time great movie characters.

I don't think so but he was really good in everything he did. I liked his character in The Mandalorian. Also the episodes he directed were very good. He aged really well and still looked to be in good shape. He will be missed.
