Depends? Do you mean like classic action stars? I saw someone mention Johnny Depp and I wondered when he was classified as an action star (seriously??)? For the classics, Steven Seagal (I don't think many people could take him in his heyday), Van Damme (Bloodsport, hell yeah), Arnold of course and simply for one movie, Road House, Patrick Swayze.
Newer age. The Rock, Jet Li, Mark Wahlberg and another guy for on movie, Knockaround Guys, Vin Diesel.
Vin Diesel for this one scene!
I also in no way endorse MOST of these actors acting skills.
Yeah, to me because i like the Van Damme,Lundgren,etc. kind of action movies, that's what i think about, But all the names posted are action in a certain way too.
I could watch the Seagal movies over and over because i love 'em ha ! He takes care of business plain and simple. I like the others you mention too. I grew up watching these movies and just really enjoyed them. People love them as much as me though.
I remember seeing Out For Justice and was hooked ever since ! Can watch Seagal movies over and over again. Just got Belly of the *****. Li movies are great too......thanks for replying !
