Sylvester Stallone
"Yo, Adrian!" may be the catchphrase of Rocky Balboa, but we can't forget to salute the talented actor behind the beloved franchise - Sylvester Stallone! He initially used the stage name "Mike Stallone" when he began his career in 1969, later returning to his real name just a few years in.
Did you know his first starring role was in a soft adult film? This was during a financially challenging period before the success of "Rocky." Nowadays, he's far from poverty and enjoys the rewards of his career success.
