He was awesome in Happy Gilmore as well. Hate to hear the news.

I loved this guy. Great in everything he's ever been in. He'll be missed. RIP.

Predator is probably at the top of the list for me. Then Rocky. Actually, they're probably interchangeable. Also love him as Chubs in Happy Gilmore!

A couple of very underrated performances: Force 10 from Navarone and Death Hunt...loved these movies as a kid.

"There is no tomorrow, Rock! There is no tomorrow!"

Don't forget he was Greef Karga in The Mandalorian too. Fantastic actor, he'll be missed. Rocky isn't nearly as successful if he's not so good and believable as Apollo.
