When you think of iconic characters from movies, Rocky Balboa is probably one of the first that comes to mind. It is for Sharon Ebersole of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette who did an article on movie’s iconic characters. Here’s what she had to say about Rocky Balboa:<\/p>\n

<\/span>Rocky, Sylvester Stallone<\/p>\n

– Why him?: We love to root for an underdog, and who was more of an underdog than the Italian Stallion, a minor Philly pugilist and reluctant thug who gets the chance of a lifetime — a shot at the heavyweight title. Like Chaplin’s Tramp, Rocky is Stallone’s own creation, as writer, director and star of the original.<\/p>\n

– The films: “Rocky I-V” (1976-95) and “Rocky Balboa” (2006).<\/p>\n

– The look: In the beginning, an oversized, worn leather jacket and sweats hide a muscular physique that’s later revealed to his lady love while he’s wearing a “beater” T. But nothing beats his boxing robes, with advertisement space sold by his future brother-in-law, Paulie.<\/p>\n

– The walk and the talk: Rocky goes from slouched and slow to a guy on the run — through the streets of Philadelphia and up the steps of the art museum, as he gets in shape for the big fight and begins a real-life Philly tradition. The gruff and mumbly voice and sometimes slurred speech (partly because of paralysis to the left side of Stallone’s face) can be tender and mumbly, too.<\/p>\n

– Signature line: “Yo, Adrian.” <\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
