10 of 10, easy. But I'd bet while few would remember Carl Weathers TV appearances, everyone remembers Apollo Creed. Then there's the character "Dillon" and that nasty Predator.
8/10. Not bad. I had a few lucky guesses however.

10/10 Liked Jim Brown when he played Fireball in "The Running Man"
What about the question...this former football star found fame as a spokesman for hertz rental car company, a sidekick in the naked gun movies, authorof the best seller book If I Did It, and was pretty handy with a butchers knife?
Oh, that guy! He played a security officer in the Irwin Allen disaster film The Towering Inferno. He also hosted Saturday Night Live. I hear that James Cameron wanted him to play The Terminator.
It's a shame how he went from being very loved to so hated
This was easy for me because I'm old. Lol. 10/10
