Anthony Ippolito secured the role of a young Sylvester Stallone in 'I Play Rocky' after improvising an audition with a punching bag in his grandmother's basement. Directed by Oscar-winner Peter Farrelly, the film chronicles Stallone's early struggles, including sleeping on the streets, before 'Rocky' became a cultural phenomenon. It opens in theaters this month.
