Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone (born July 6, 1946), nicknamed Sly
Stallone, is an American actor, screenwriter and film director. Stallone is
well known for his Hollywood action roles. Two notable characters he has
portrayed are the boxer Rocky Balboa and soldier John Rambo. He wrote every
episode of the two eponymous franchises, and directed some of their
installments as well.
Stallone's film Rocky was inducted into the National Film Registry
as well as having its film props placed in the Smithsonian Museum. Stallone's
use of the front entrance to the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the Rocky
series led the area to be nicknamed the Rocky Steps. Philadelphia has a statue
of his Rocky character placed permanently near the museum. It was announced on
December 7, 2010 that Stallone was voted into boxing's Hall of Fame.
