Tony Burton
AKA 'The Duke' in the Rocky films passes away at 78 years of age 
.
Quite shocked as he was recently in 'Creed' and still looked fit and strong for his age.
Rocky films have inspired me unbelievably through the years so i'm a bit gutted to hear this fine,underrated actor has went.
RIP

Re: Tony Burton
What a fucking scene
The noise of the jumbo jet or whatever the fuck it is before he yells 'He's not a machine...HE'S A MAN!!'

Re: Tony Burton
Mrs Sieb and myself have been watching all the Rocky films again back to back, the Duke was always my favourite character apart from Rocky himself.
He was amazing in all of them for what little screen time he had, and I am glad he got to shine more in Rocky IV. He also stole the whole damn movie in Rocky Balboa with this short monologue
He wasn't in Creed though, which I was a bit disappointed with, it was just his character's son that was in it for about 5 mins. Creed was the only film not to have Paulie or Duke in it.
