Damn. Predator was like my OG favorite sci-fi monster. And of course, he's been great in a lot of other good stuff too.

Gronk's gotta make that kick, now.
Weathers was great. Every line he says across the entire Rocky franchise was gold, thanks to his superb delivery. He'll be missed.
"Ding, ding."

With his acting and directing on Mandalorian he was enjoying a hell of a very late career run. The guy had a great run.

Well this is a bummer. I enjoyed his role on Mandalorian in recent years. Chubbs from Happy Gilmore and especially Apollo Creed will always be iconic. RIP
