Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone (born July 6, 1946) is an American actor and filmmaker. He rose to fame as an action star for his memorable portrayals of boxer Rocky Balboa in the Rocky franchise (1976–present) and of soldier John Rambo in the Rambo franchise (1982–2019). Stallone usually portrayed underdog characters who conquer seemingly impossible challenges through perseverance and determination in his films, and his physically expressive and emotionally charged style of acting redefined the action hero.
Stallone took early roles in The Lords of Flatbush (1974) and Death Race 2000 (1975) before achieving stardom, writing the role of and portraying boxer Robert "Rocky" Balboa in the Rocky franchise (1976–present). For Rocky (1976) he was nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor. He went on to reprise the role in Creed (2015) and Creed II (2018), the former of which earned him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor as well as a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture win.
Stallone also portrayed John Rambo in First Blood (1982), a role he would play across five Rambo films (1982–2019) which he also co-wrote. He went on to become, from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, one of Hollywood's highest-paid actors, acting in films such as Rhinestone (1984), Cobra (1986), Over the Top (1987), Tango and Cash (1989), Oscar (1991), Cliffhanger, Demolition Man (both 1993), The Specialist (1994), and Cop Land (1997). He later acted in The Expendables film franchise (2010–2014) and the Escape Plan film series (2013–2019). He portrayed Stakar Ogord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023).
In television, he has starred in the Paramount+ crime series Tulsa King (2022–present) and the reality series The Family Stallone (2023–2024), both of which he also served as an executive producer. Stallone is also a noted art collector and painter, and has written books on fitness.
