The following years saw him make an appearance in various popular movies, such as “Klute”, “The Prisoner of Second Avenue” and “The Lords of Flatbush”. He became famous worldwide after he wrote and starred in the movie “Rocky”.

It was soon revealed that Margie had sold the story to a supermarket tabloid a month prior, and the case was thus closed. In 2016, it was reported that he was accused of sexually assaulting a 16 year-old girl together with his bodyguard, but his former wife Brigitte claimed that he was with her, and his fellow actor David Athen Mendenhall claimed that the rumors weren’t true, and that it was him who introduced the two. He was accused of another sexual assault in November 2017, but wasn’t charged because of a lack of witnesses.
