If you're a fan of the "Rocky" series (and its subsequent "Creed" spinoffs), you might be intrigued by the story of Chuck Wepner, the heavyweight boxer from Bayonne, New Jersey, whose 15-round bout against Muhammed Ali in 1975 apparently inspired Sylvester Stallone to create the character Rocky Balboa. Although Wepner later sued Stallone for allegedly using his life story without permission, the two men, who became friendly after the release of "Rocky," are now on good terms.
In "Chuck," Liev Schreiber portrays Wepner, with his "Ray Donovan" co-star Pooch Hall playing Ali. Elisabeth Moss and Naomi Watts respectively appear as Wepner's second and third wives.
