So he was only 36 when the first Rocky movie came out? Dear Lord he seemed like he was at least 50.

Well the ultimate is Wilford Brimley being 50 during the filming of Cocoon, but yeah, I was shocked to hear that Burt and Sherman were as young as they were in those roles.

Btw, Burt is the perfect name for a guy who looked like that.
