A lot.of guys left the NFL for a Big Screen career, but so many were just 1 or 2 role guys…OJ, Jim Brown, Alex Karras…and memorable in them…

Carl Weathers IMDB has him at EIGHTY acting gigs and 17 directing. He has an Emmy for TV! He appeared as a guest on many shows, 1 off, but was great in one of my top 3 shows all time as Vic’s previous dirty and broken down partner in The Shield. 9 turns in The Mandalorian on Disney as a pragmatic mayor of an outworld outlaw city rrying to go legit…that was good! Arrested Development? Sure!

Magnum PI, ER, Law and Order, Toy Story 4, all 3 Chicago shows, 28 turns on In The Heat of The Night w Carrol O’Connor of Archie Bunker genius.Force 10 from Navarrone, Close Encounters, Semi-Tough…even Kung Fu and an all time fave, Action Jackson!

This guy was a straight up BOSS.

Rest in Power. Well done.

Hate it.
