When he returned from a tour of Japan, Hogan received a Western Union letter he had to sign for. The contents: Sylvester Stallone's offer to be in the movie.

In preparation for Rocky III, Sylvester Stallone dropped from 195 to 155 pounds. His daily regime included a breakfast of toast and six to ten soft boiled egg whites!Thanks to Charles
Though Mr. T. seems to have a menacing presence on film, in reality he is not a very large man. It is said that he stands only around 5'8" or 5'9" which is about the same height (if not a bit shorter) as Sylvester Stallone. It has also been said that during the toe to toe face off scenes between Rocky and Clubber, Mr. T. had to stand on a box or platform to appear much larger than Stallone.Next Section: Deleted Scenes
