AMCtv.com has an article about folks in Hollywood who are triple threats — you know, writer, director and actor. Sly finds himself in good company since he’s listed along with Woody Allen, Sean Penn, Mel Gibson and others. Here’s what they had to say about Sly:
Sylvester Stallone
You wouldn’t know it from his action rep, or mumble mouth delivery, but Stallone is one of the most successful, and prolific Triple Threats in Hollywood history. From directing, writing, and starring in Rocky’s II, III, IV and Balboa (1979, 1982, 1985, 2006), taking triple duty in 2008’s Rambo, 1993’s Cliffhanger, and the upcoming all-star The Expendables, Stallone has been single-handedly crafting hits for over 30 years, with no signs of stopping. Let’s just hope he never again becomes a Quadruple Threat, and sings like he did in Rhinestone (1984).
Of course we all know that Renny Harlin, and not Sly directed Cliffhanger. And of course, Bob Clark directed Rhinestone. Still, it’s cool that Sly is recognized as a triple threat. You can read the full piece here. AMC also has The Ultimate Rambo Quiz on the same page.
