About Sylvester Stallone

Struggling as an actor for a number of years upon moving to New York City in 1969, Stallone found gradual work in films such as The Lords of Flatbush (1974). He achieved his greatest critical and commercial success starting in 1976 by writing the iconic role of boxer Rocky Balboa as a character he believed he was suited to portray, in the first film of the successful Rocky franchise, and then held on to control of the production rights until he was cast in the starring role. In 1977, he became the third actor in history to be nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor. At the height of his career, Stallone was known for his rivalry with Arnold Schwarzenegger. In 2013, he starred in the successful film Escape Plan and appeared in its sequels. The film brought Stallone widespread praise and his first Golden Globe Award, as well as a third Academy Award nomination, having been first nominated for the same role 40 years prior.
