Sherwood Oaks Famous Alumni & Teachers: 1971 – 2023
There are many more people and many great stories about our classes and the famous industry professionals that jump-started their careers during a Sherwood Oaks course. Sylvester Stallone wrote Rocky while attending courses at Sherwood Oaks. We are proud to have him as one of our famous alumni and teachers. We were fortunate to have him return to speak and share his knowledge with Sherwood Oaks students. Although best known as an actor, Mr. Stallone is also an avid writer and taught a writing class at Sherwood Oaks. Stallone does his best to write everyday even if it’s only two words – FADE IN.
