This time, he’ll play a young Sylvester Stallone in I Play Rocky, Amazon MGM’s upcoming drama about the making of the 1976 boxing classic Rocky. And fans can’t stop talking about the casting — because the resemblance is nearly uncanny.
Facing constant rejection, Stallone famously refused to sell the script unless he could play the lead, betting on himself in a move that would ultimately launch one of Hollywood’s most iconic careers.
Ippolito reportedly earned the part by submitting an unsolicited audition tape, according to Entertainment Weekly. “That bold move ultimately led to him landing the role — mirroring the very tenacity I Play Rocky celebrates," Amazon MGM says.
Fans immediately responded online to the resemblance, with one comment reading, “Damn looks exactly like him,” and another noting, “It’s crazy how they keep finding actors that look so much like who they’re portraying!”

Rocky remains a touchstone of American cinema and one of the most beloved sports movies of all time. The story of its creation, and Stallone’s now-legendary persistence, has become just as inspiring as the movie itself.
In The Offer, he portrayed a young Al Pacino during the chaotic making of The Godfather, another 1970s classic. Now, he’s stepping into another era-defining role, one that could mark a major milestone in his own rising career.
