Appearing Fri, Sat, Sun

Carl Weathers played with the Oakland Raiders and retired in 1974 to give full attention to acting. Carl first played small parts in two blaxploitation flicks, Friday Foster and Bucktown, but his big break came when he was chosen to play Apollo Creed in the blockbuster "sleeper" Rocky. He went on to play Creed in three other Rocky movies and then played an important supporting role in Predator, the classic film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. In 1996, he played the part of Chubbs Peterson in Happy Gilmore. In addition to his acting career, Carl is also a member of the Big Brothers Association and the U.S. Olympic Committee.
