I had no idea he played in the NFL. Quite a life.

Seemed like a genuinely good guy.

Not sure there was anything I saw him in that I didn't like.

Shooter McGavin on X: "It’s fair to say that a little piece of us died with Carl today. A movie icon whose performances withstood the test of time. Happy Gilmore is not the cult classic without Carl’s performance. No one could have played Chubbs like he did. Rest easy Carl https://t.co/zeqIVEZKm4" / X (twitter.com)

Rip the Master of Disaster, The King of Sting.....

 

Quite the life but 76 is so young these days.

Technically this also football related.

I was surprised to see this news.  He looked fantastic for 76 years old.  

 

Besides Rocky, I remember him best in Predator and a very B movie - Action Jackson.

Saddened by his passing. I watched happy Gilmore a million times as a kid. I love the Rocky’s, ofc predator, and even seeing him in Mando was cool as heck.

 

RIP. Thanks for the fun Carl

The Adam Sandler tweet made me notice another recent passing that's sad.

Which a lot of the immediate response is how tragic it is at his age, which is definitely still true, but amazingly enough that guy was 50.....wait holy ***** Grown Ups came out 13 years ago.

Loved his work — acting and directing several episodes — on “The Mandalorian.”

I admire a man who makes the most of his opportunities. Just read he also played for a time in the CFL. RIP Carl
