Athletes Turned Actors: Carl Weathers, $8 Million


Carl Weathers played only eight games in the NFL and 18 games in the Canadian Football League. While success did not find him on the professional field, Mr. Weathers turned out to be pretty good on the stage. His most iconic role was probably as Apollo Creed in Rocky, but he also had memorable roles in Predator and other hit films. His most recent roles have been primarily guest appearances and other short roles, but Mr. Weathers is still active around Hollywood. Owing to his size and demeanor, he often plays military characters and other similar roles.
