Well, today we have some very sudden and tragic news to announce; Carl Weathers best known for playing Apollo Creed in the Rocky movies, Action Jackson, Dylan in Predator and Greef Karga in The Mandalorian has passed away at the age of 76.
“We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Carl Weathers,” his family said in a statement. “He died peacefully in his sleep on Thursday, February 1st, 2024. … Carl was an exceptional human being who lived an extraordinary life.

I was lucky enough to meet Carl a few years ago and he was a kind and gracious man who took the time to chat with me and brother.
