Carl Weathers was a cinematic icon. From the moment he strutted on the screen as the powerful, preening Apollo Creed, he showed remarkable range and depth. He appeared three more times as the popular boxing champ. In the 80s, he made his mark in the all-time action classic “Predator.” He reemerged in the 90s as Adam Sandler’s one-handed golfing guru Chubbs. And in recent years, Weathers appeared in several episodes of the Disney+ hit, “The Mandalorian.”

The Best of Carl Weathers

  • Rocky

    November 21, 1976

    An uneducated collector for a Philadelphia loan shark is given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight against the world heavyweight boxing champion.

    As the ferocious, spectacular Apollo Creed, Weathers made his mark as a star opposite the slow-talking Sylvester Stallone. Legend has it, Weathers won the role after criticizing Stallone’s acting in the audition. Weathers would appear in the first four ‘Rocky’ movies, all of which are available on these same platforms.

  • Predator

    June 12, 1987

    A team of elite commandos on a secret mission in a Central American jungle come to find themselves hunted by an extraterrestrial warrior.

  • Action Jackson

  • Street Justice

  • In the Heat of the Night

    March 6, 1988

    In the Heat of the Night is an American television series based on the motion picture and novel of the same name starring Carroll O’Connor as the white police chief William Gillespie, and Howard Rollins as the African-American police detective Virgil Tibbs. It was broadcast on NBC from 1988 until 1992, and then on CBS until 1995.

    Weathers became a series regular in the final two seasons.

  • Happy Gilmore

    February 16, 1996

    Failed hockey player-turned-golf whiz Happy Gilmore — whose unconventional approach and antics on the grass courts the ire of rival Shooter McGavin — is determined to win a PGA tournament so he can save his granny’s house with the prize money. Meanwhile, an attractive tour publicist tries to soften Happy’s image.

    You’ll remember Weathers as Happy’s comical coach “Chubbs.”

  • Arrested Development

    November 2, 2003

    The story of a wealthy family that lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together.

    Weathers appeared as a fictional version of himself in this modern comedy favorite.

  • Chicago Justice

    The State’s Attorney’s dedicated team of prosecutors and investigators navigates heated city politics and controversy head-on, while fearlessly pursuing justice.

    Weathers had one of the lead roles as Cook County State’s Attorney Mark Jefferies in this “Chicago P.D.” spinoff.

  • Toy Story 4

    June 19, 2019

    Woody has always been confident about his place in the world and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. But when Bonnie adds a reluctant new toy called “Forky” to her room, a road trip adventure alongside old and new friends will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy.

    Keep your ears peeled for Weathers’ vocal cameo as Combat Carl.

  • The Mandalorian

    After the fall of the Galactic Empire, lawlessness has spread throughout the galaxy. A lone gunfighter makes his way through the outer reaches, earning his keep as a bounty hunter.
