“Carl was an exceptional person who lived an extraordinary life. His contributions to cinema, television, the arts, and sports leave an indelible mark, recognized around the world and across generations. He was a beloved brother, father, grandfather, partner, and friend.”

Throughout his artistic career, he acted in over 75 films and TV series. His first major role was as the boxing champion Apollo Creed in “Rocky” (1976), a character that would make him famous.
