Stallone Says Anthony Ippolito Convinced Him on Screen in 'I Play Rocky'

Sylvester Stallone praised actor Anthony Ippolito, who portrays Stallone at a younger age in the film "I Play Rocky," during an onstage conversation at 92NY in New York. Stallone said that when he first saw Ippolito's performance, he briefly took the actor for himself. The film tells Stallone's own story, and Ippolito plays him in his earlier years.
