Only for the weak
So many good ones, Arnold is probably at the top of my list though. He's gotta be the least versatile actor alive, but he can do action like nobodies business.

Clint Eastwood (because he acts so cool)

Arnold (is best when he talks less, when he keeps his mouth shut the action is great)

Linda Hamilton, she is great in action movies.

Fraser needs to die, soon, or at least stop making movies.

That wasn't very nice. Maybe he hates you too.



I sure hope so.

He's never made a good movie, someone ought to put him down.



I'm certainly no fan of Brendan Fraser, and I can't even sit through those loud, dumb Mummy flicks, but to give him his props, he's quite good in both The Quiet American and Gods & Monsters - serious movies that not only did he not ruin them, but he actually added something with his performances.

But as an action star, he don't rate at all.

I am having a nervous breakdance
Damn, Hondo. I went in here to post Eastwood and McQueen.

I like those guys better than the piles of meat that are so popular these days. Will there ever be an actor again as cool as Steve McQueen?

I used to be a fan of Bruce Willis too, but even though I know I am being silly, I have kind of a problem with his right wing views which I find annoying even when I watch him on the screen sometimes. I know, it's stupid. But he's cool in Die Hard series and Pulp Fiction. Oh, and I have always been a sucker for The Last Boy Scout.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but
now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

Jimmy's the king Of Cool.

But McQueens right next to him



Evolution in Progress...
Sorry Sidewinder...didnt mean to make you , but i happen to respect Christopher Lambert, and i remember hearing somewhere that he is almost completely deaf, that is a big handicap to overcome if you an actor... Although i would say that he could use a better agent to get into better movies.

But come on
Mean Guns man! awesome movie



I've never heard that Christophe Lambert is deaf, partially or otherwise. One thing is for certain: he's a terrible actor. He's fine in the first Highlander for what it is, and his awkwardness works in Luc Besson's Subway to an extent, but other than that, yowza, what a dud. That he got to nail Diane Lane for so many years is just beyond unfair.
