Dan Panosian Gets Carter Again!

Craig / / 2012, Craig's Sly Art, Get Carter

This is Dan Panosian‘s second appearance in the StalloneZone sketch gallery.  His first was a drawing of Jack Carter that he gifted me at an FX Convention in Orlando. 

Dan is a big Stallone fan and really gets the Jack Carter character.   I love Dan’s art and hope this won’t be the last piece to go in my collection.

Check out more of Dan’s art here and here. Plan to spend some time, because everything he draws is worth a look!

Sly Stallone Event Raises $100, 000 for Charity

Craig / / 2012, Unmade Films


On February 24, 2012, The Spec.com posted a piece titled Sylvester Stallone Event Raises $100, 000 for Charity.  Here are some highlights:

  • “Rocky is done,” Stallone told about 900 people who paid to hear him in support of the Canadian Diabetes Association.
  • Stallone, in a question and answer session with movie critic Brian Johnson, did not rule out making another Rambo film.
  • Stallone said he did not set out to become an action star and that he was the 11th actor offered the role of Rambo in First Blood.
  • He has starred with such actors as Robert De Niro, but admitted to turning down roles in movies which could have changed his career. He turned down appearing in two Quentin Tarantino movies, as well as American Gigolo, An Officer and a Gentleman and Coming Home. He said turning down the latter film “was very foolish,” but he admitted he had his doubts if he could have been good enough for the searing drama, which eventually starred Jon Voight, Jane Fonda and Bruce Dern.

LotofSly Autograph: Renny Harlin

Craig / / 2012, Celebs, Cliffhanger

That’s an autographed photo of Renny Harlin who directed Sly in Cliffhanger.

My pal, Alex surprised me with a package containing it and several other Stallone-related autographs that I’m going to post on the SZ over the coming weeks. Alex, as you’ve probably guessed is also known as LotofSly on the SZ message boards where he also serves as one of our moderators [and now has his own section Me &…]. Alex has met more celebrities than anyone else I know, and he somehow always manages to get photos with them. That’s in addition to being an all-around nice guy… and as nice as Alex is THAT has to be a full time job!
