The man, the myth, the legend; Sylvester Stallone is most notably known for his pivotal role as underdog boxer Rocky Balboa in the 1976 box office hit, Rocky. Rocky captured the hearts of audiences worldwide, winning three Oscars in the process. The feature film spawned a successful five-part film series spanning almost two decades, an actual “Rocky Balboa” statue outside of the famous Philadelphia Museum of Art, and inspiration for future underdogs everywhere. However, many do not know that Stallone wrote the entire Rocky and Rambo film series as well as countless other films such as Paradise Alley, Staying Alive, Copland and many others. When it comes to screenwriting and directing, Sylvester Stallone is an unsung hero.
