Sylvester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone rose to become the writer and director of Academy Award-wining boxing film Rocky (1976). He has gone on to become one of the biggest stars in the world, returning his characters to Rocky and First Blood (1982) in multiple sequels. After a mid-career decline, he once again succeeded in boxing and office The Expendables (2010) and received a critical claim with a revival of Rocky Franchise and Creed (2015), earning his first Golden Globe win and an Oscar nomination.
