I thought Lando and Apollo Creed were the same Actor.

But I just found out they're not!!
Look Apollo looks a lot like Lando.

Rick McCallum loves you! (And you can't change that.)

 

haaaaahhaa,
it's be funny tho if they did a switcheroo: put billy dee in predator as the cia man:

lando as cia man: hello, what have we here?
phzum!
gets dicapitated by predator's laser gun.

or carl in SW:

......
er cant think of a good quote.

When I was a bit younger I thought they were one in the same. We used to call him 'Lando' when we watched Predator.

Maybe he can be Grando Calrissian for EPIII?

 

It?s a common mistake. I thought that too myself for a while.

 

Apollo is 3 times Lando's size!

 

Heh, Lando may be smooov but he's ain't buff...

 

They don't even look alike. Apollo Creed has a more fat face.

 

However, Billy Dee was in "Lady sings the Blues" with Diana Ross...he was pretty suave in that

 

Interesting scuiggefest. Believe it or not, I wasn't sure Harrison Ford was the same actor from the Star Wars films who played in Raiders of The Lost Ark until months after Raiders came out! I think it was because I was only 7 for SW, 10 for Empire and 11 when Raiders came out. I got so wrapped up in the action of Raiders it didn't hit me until later.

Also speaking of Raiders, that movie started so good, it didn't hit me until later Indiana Jones had no supernatural powers himself, that he was a professor and a archeologist and basically a normal guy who cared about artifacts being put into the hands of museums instead of theives and robbers. The action in that movie was so good.

Speaking of Billy Dee, in the late 80's when Miami Vice came out and I saw Tubbs (Phillip Michael Thomas) I thought in hindsight he woulda made a good Lando too.

 

They are the same actor!!!!!


Colt .45, anyone?
