'''Michael Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone''', nicknamed '''Sly Stallone''', is an American actor, director, producer, screenwriter and [[Old Shame|former porn star]]. One of the biggest box office draws in the world from the 1970s to the 1990s, Stallone is an icon of machismo and Hollywood action heroism. He is by far one of the most iconic action heroes ever, alongside [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]. While not a very large man (standing at about 5'9), his musculature is the result of hard work with weight training and nutritional supplements (such as [http://www.examiner.com/celebrity-fitness-and-health-in-national/expendables-star-sylvester-stallone-ripped-to-shreds-at-64-stunning-video HGH and testosterone]). His identifiable "marble-mouth" voice is the result of complications during birth and having little feeling on one side of his body.
He has played two characters who have become a part of the American [[Person as Verb|cultural lexicon]]: Rocky Balboa, the boxer who overcame odds to fight for love and glory, and John Rambo, a courageous soldier who specialized in violent rescue and revenge missions. And he has also been a driving force behind the camera for the majority of his movies, having written the original story for Rocky and directing most of the sequels.
Line 13:
Stallone's ''[[Rocky (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, on the right side before the steps.
