The true story of the making of the iconic movie Rocky, focusing on a struggling actor who insists on playing the lead role himself.

I Play Rocky tells the true story of a struggling actor with a partially paralyzed face and speech impediment who writes a script that a major studio wants to buy. Refusing to sell, he works for pennies to star in the film, which becomes the biggest box office hit of 1976, earning ten Oscar nominations and winning Best Picture. Directed by Peter Farrelly, the film stars Toby Kebbell, Tracy Letts, Jay Duplass, Matt Dillon, and others.
