Carl Weathers will be forever associated by many with the iconic role of Rocky opponent turned confidant Apollo Creed in Stallone’s fabled movie series, but he’s also had a long and industrious career in both the film and TV industries.
His latest high-profile appearance in the latter is via a substantial part in Us TV drama über-producer Dick (Law & Order) Wolf’s latest effort, Chicago Justice. We spoke to him recently about some of his prior work, this new role and the challenges that came with it.
