This is a list of characters from the Rocky film series, consisting of Rocky (1976), Rocky II (1979), Rocky III (1982), Rocky IV (1985), Rocky V (1990), Rocky Balboa (2006), and Creed (2015).
Tony Gazzo is a loan shark in Philadelphia who initially hires Rocky as an enforcer and collector to rough up people who owe him money. Even though Gazzo gets irritated whenever Rocky doesn't directly obey his orders, such as breaking the thumbs of people who are unable to pay him, he still has respect and patience for Rocky, even giving him money for a date with Adrian and later for his training for Rocky's first fight with Apollo.
Tony Gazzo is portrayed by Joe Spinell.
Miles Jergens is a successful boxing promoter who oversees Apollo Creed's fights. After Apollo proposes to fight a local contender for his United States Bicentennial match, Jergens invites Rocky to his office to secure a deal for the main event.
Miles Jergens is portrayed by Thayer David.
Spider Rico is a Puerto Rican boxer who is Rocky's first opponent in Rocky. Both men fight in the match that is heavily booed by the spectators due to their lack of sportsmanship, with Rocky eventually winning. In the locker room, Spider comments that Rocky "really got lucky". He resurfaces in Rocky Balboa, where he hangs out at Rocky's restaurant Adrian's and does the dishes without payroll. Spider is now a religious person, reading Bible scriptures during his free time and giving a prayer to Rocky before his fight with Mason "The Line" Dixon.
Spider Rico is portrayed by Pedro Lovell.
Robert Balboa, Jr., or Rocky Jr., is the only son of Rocky and Adrian. In Rocky II, he is born one month premature after Adrian experiences a sudden labor while arguing with Paulie. In Rocky V, Robert is a 14-year-old student in the honor roll, but when the Balboa family relocates to South Philadelphia due to bankruptcy, he has difficulty adjusting to the rough neighborhood. On his first day in school, he is attacked by two bullies who steal his jacket, but he befriends a girl named Jewel. Despite his parents' insistence for him to use his mind instead of fighting to solve problems, he undergoes boxing training at Mighty Mick's Boxing Gym, with Paulie as his coach. Even though he fights back the bullies and recovers his jacket, Robert is distraught by his father's attention to training Tommy Gunn. Because of this, Robert alienates himself from his parents and takes up smoking with his new friends. It is only when Tommy Gunn sells out to George Washington Duke that Rocky mends his relationship with Robert.
