And it certainly wouldn’t have taken us such an amazing amount of time to make it. Every minute with him – on and off the set – was pure joy.

He was a great actor, a brilliant athlete, and a good friend. I have many special memories of Carl, both professionally and personally. Like Apollo Creed, he had that special charm that always brought a smile to your face. ,
