Stallone, Schwarzenegger and More Anti-Gun Celebrities

Craig / / 2012, Celebs

On December 17, 2012, The New York Post ran a piece titled, Stallone, Schwarzenegger and More Anti-Gun Celebrities.

They went back to 1999 to get this quote from Sly:

Rambo himself is anti-gun. In response to the shooting of Phil Hartman in 1999, Sylvester Stallone told Access Hollywood, “Until America, door to door, takes every handgun, this is what you’re gonna have. It’s pathetic. It really is pathetic. It’s sad. We’re living in the Dark Ages over there.”

Frank Stallone Featured in Best Ever You

Craig / / 2012, Frank Stallone


Frank Stallone is featured on the cover and a nice interview in the current issue of Best You Ever which you can read online.  Here are a few tidbits…

I was playing music long before Sly was ever an actor. He was my roadie at one time. When Rocky started shooting, he needed a band that would work cheap to be in one of the scenes. My band, Valentine, was playing at some local clubs and we were the only singers Sly knew.  We were making about $140 total, but the movie was going to pay us $140 each!

A lot of people have just given up on me over the years.  But I’ve had to keep believing in my own talent.

I take care of myself, I stay in shape and I’d rather have people be impressed at how old I am as opposed to them thinking I look old for my age.

I am who I am. I’m kind of a loner, I like to play my guitar, bury myself in a good book, hang out at joints with my boys and I say what I want. I don’t like to hide behind “Hollywood.” I like to interact with people on Facebook and Twitter and I forget sometimes that I’m somewhat of a public figure.

Mike Henderson Gets Carter

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

This week we have Mike Henderson and his take on Sly as Jack Carter.  Mike is a freelance artist who has worked for DC, IDW, Marvel, and Nike to name just a few.  I saw Mike would be a guest at Heroes Con and really liked his art [especially a Conan piece that he drew following Frank Frazetta’s death].  

I met Mike at Heroes and set up a commission for the Jack Carter sketch posted today.  My son, [also named] Mike, was with me at Heroes and knew how much I liked the Conan piece.  Heroes was in June.  In October, my son gave me a birthday gift — yep, the Conan piece by Mike Henderson!

You can see more of Mike Henderson’s art at his blog.
