Carl Weathers career
Weathers started as an extra when he was still a football player. Bucktown (1975) and Friday Foster (1975), two blaxploitation movies helmed by his lifelong friend Arthur Marks, featured his first notable appearances.
Weathers also had an appearance in the “The Nude” episode of the sitcom Good Times in early 1975. In this episode, he played an irate husband who thought his wife was having an extramarital affair with J.J.
He also made cameo appearances in two television shows: “The Hero” on Cannon and “The Brothers Caine” on Kung Fu in 1975. He had two appearances in 1976: one in the Barnaby Jones episode “The Bounty Hunter” as escaped convict Jack Hopper and another as a loan shark in an episode of the crime thriller Starsky & Hutch.
Weathers critiqued Sylvester Stallone’s acting during the Rocky auditions, which helped Weathers land the part of Apollo Creed opposite Stallone. In the following three Rocky movies, Rocky II (1979), Rocky III (1982), and Rocky IV (1985), he played Apollo Creed once more.
In one of the three theatrical releases of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Weathers makes a fleeting cameo as an Army MP (first released in 1977).
Weathers played Vince Sullivan in the television film Not This Time in 1978. Weathers starred in several big small-screen action movies in the late 1970s and early 1980s, such as Hurricane Smith (1992), Predator (1987), Action Jackson (1988), and Force 10 from Navarone (1978).
Weathers costarred in the 1996 Adam Sandler comedy Happy Gilmore as Chubbs, a golf icon teaching Happy how to play the game. She also made an appearance in Michael Jackson’s “Liberian Girl” music video.
In the Sandler comedy Little Nicky, he played the same character almost four years later. Weathers broke two vertebrae when filming a fall stunt for Happy Gilmore, and his osteophytes grew out, joined, and severely self-fused. He claimed to have endured three or four years of unbearable agony.
On the police drama Street Justice, Sgt. Adam Beaudreaux played a noteworthy role as well. Then, in the last two seasons of In the Heat of the Night (1992–1994), Hampton Forbes took Bill Gillespie’s place as the show’s chief of police.
As an acting instructor for Tobias Fünke, Weathers played a cheapskate imitation of himself in three episodes of the comedy series Arrested Development in 2004, which marked the beginning of his hilarious comeback.
The voice of Colonel Samuel Garrett in the computer game Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction by Pandemic Studios was given by Weathers. He narrated a story for Conquest in 2005. The Price of Victory: Witness the Trojans’ Journey is an eighteen-part television series on USC athletics.
Stallone requested permission from Weathers, Mr. T, and Dolph Lundgren to use clips from their previous Rocky movies for Rocky Balboa (2006), the sixth installment in the Rocky series. Lundgren and Mr. T concurred, but Weathers insisted on having a real role in the film despite the fact that his character had died in Rocky IV.
On the brief 2009 Fox sitcom Brothers, Weathers played the father of Michael Strahan and Daryl “Chill” Mitchell’s characters. Weathers played Brian “Gebo” Fitzgerald in an advertisement for Tony Stewart, a NASCAR driver sponsored by Old Spice.
Additionally, he made an appearance in a continuous run of online-only commercials for Credit Union of Washington, offering flowers and the words “change is beautiful” to onlookers who seemed perplexed.
Additionally, he played the lead in a number of Bud Light ads where he debuted plays from the “Bud Light Playbook.” Weathers was seen bursting through the Bud Light Playbook and exclaiming, “Here we go!” at the end of each commercial.
2019 saw Weathers reprise her role as Greef Karga in multiple episodes of The Mandalorian, the first season of the Star Wars television series. He was back for the second season, directing “Chapter 12: The Siege” as well.
“Chapter 20: The Foundling” was the episode he helmed when he returned for season 3. He was nominated for an Emmy in the category of Outstanding Guest Actor for his work.
