Burgess Meredith - A "Rocky" Memorial

[@MarkB-vp9ki]

[@playgod2175]

Call it “Mickey”

[@joelewishenry7886]

No

[@Granticus]

Not gonna lie, I’d love that but at the same time I don’t really want it to happen. The reason being is because I feel like they won’t be able to get an actor who can fit perfectly as Burgess Meredith did for Mickey Goldmill.

[@indianapatsfan]

@@Granticus It would definitely be a tough role to cast but it's not impossible. You'd need a bantamweight size guy that's athletically built and has a tough, street smart persona. I'm sure there's a good, young actor out there that could pull it off.

[@abelincoln5698]

He plays this camp fella in an Oliver reed film that came out a few years before Rocky and is completely different to Mickey,he's that good as Micky that you think he must be a bit like that in real life,but he's not,just a great actor.

[@emmalancaster2896]

He was one of the best actors this country ever produced. Sadly, he was blacklisted when he refused to name names. He made almost no movies again until the 1970s, due to this. He could only get tv and stage roles. Hence, the Twilight and Penguin roles. But his presence on the stage was amazing. He was one of Broadway’s most respected stars and one of its best.

[@billywilliams8753]

Stallone made Rocky an iconic character, but Mickey and Apollo were essential in making it all work. It was a perfect storm.

[@dougg1075]

American Warhorse that’s a fact.

[@braindrain8922]

well said

[@spice_krispies]

As good as Mickey was, the movie works as an ensemble cast. Every character is integral to making this film work. You can't take out any character in this film. Pauley is comic relief, Gazzo is there to remind us Rocky had a heart and didnt really want to hurt anybody, Apollo steals every scene he is in, and so forth. One of the best character driven movies of all time....

[@Keith-es2xf]

He reminds me of my grandpa he wld always worry and make sure everyone was ok and taken care of everyone else making sure they were ok also why working and providing for others and no matter how hard it got he wld always find a way and it time took it's toll on him but he never wavered not evn fr a second even up to the point where he had to be confined to a bed cause he cldn't even get up anymore cause he was just so worn down he was a good father,grandfather,and friend to everyone along with being one of the best men i have ever known in my life Amen

[@morelions4014]

Its so sad when rocky has just lost to clubber his final words with Mick before he passes away. Mick made a much better manager than any for rocky, but of course creed training rocky really improved rocky s power stamina and speed. Clubber definitely seemed like a bad guy, with what he said to Adrian at the unveiling of Rocky's statue, then have the cheek to say Apollo creed , that old fool, when for a rematch with Rocky. Apollo comes across as the most knowledgeable and best fighter to Start with. After creed becomes friends with rocky, he's much more likeable. I keep thinking Apollo against the opponents in creed 1 and 2. Apollo would easily beat that first opponent his goes against at the end. And even with quite a struggle beat dragos son. I presume most people won't like the Russian opponents as they come across as bad guys in this film.

Rocky 1 and 2 are legitimate, genuine masterpieces. Such pure raw acting from everyone, but Mickey's actor will NEVER be replaced. Meredith will always be Rocky's teacher, and his closest father figure. Stalone and Meredith created one of the best student and teacher performances of all time.

I'd like to thank the person who created this. I was a 10 year old kid with no true passion in my life, my father took me to see Rocky & it was a moment that changed my life FOREVER !! I started training & hitting heavy bags, speed bags & jump rope. The movie & Rocky taught me to never give up & never accept failure. I'm 54 years old & now I'm now crippled & in a wheel chair from a car accident, I shattered my hip & pelvis, I've been through 17 surgeries in the last 5 years & I exercise every day in my hospital bed, I have a pedal machine & dumbbells . I may never walk again but I'm trying to get back to using a walker. I'm getting close & I'll never give up. I lost my father 2 years ago to cancer & I think of him every day & I can't give up because he's watching me . If you read this please give it a like because it will give me more fuel to motivate me. The profile pic was me 10 years ago (44) when I was training for MMA, 6"4" 242 pounds. The best advice I can give is to find things you're passionate about, it's the best way to succeed & live your best life. Much love ...Michael
