Stallone mostly only found gradual work as an extra or side character in films with a sizeable budget until he achieved his greatest critical and commercial success as an actor, starting in 1976 with his self- created role as the boxer Rocky Balboa, in the first film of the successful" Rocky" series( 1976 – 2018). In the films, Rocky is portrayed as an underdog fighter that does battle with numerous brutal opponents, and wins the world heavyweight championship twice. Sylvester Enzio Stallone( born Michael Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone, July 6, 1946) is an American actor, director, screenwriter, and producer. The last two entries in the series are" Creed" and" Creed 2", that serve as spin- off films focusing on Adonis Creed, the son of the ill- fated boxer Apollo Creed, whom the long retired Rocky is a mentor to. Reprising the role during the 2010s brought Stallone praise, and his first Golden Globe award for the first" Creed", as well as a third Oscar nomination, having been first nominated for the same role 40 years prior. Stallone had similar box- office success, portraying the PTSD plagued soldier John Rambo in the five" Rambo" films( 1982–2019) and as mercenary Barney Ross in the three" The Expendables" films( 2010 – 2014). He wrote or co-wrote most of the films in his three biggest franchises, and directed many of them too. Stallone's film" Rocky" was inducted into the National Film Registry, and had its props placed in the Smithsonian Museum.

In 1977, Stallone was nominated for two Academy Awards for" Rocky", for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor.
