Best actors known mainly for being action stars

[MR.Fixit]

Of all the actors generally regarded as action film stars who do find to be the best or make a list of who you find to be good to great actors as well.Being an action hero is by no means a bad thing but it can be a curse for some,who are truly fine actors.Anyway heres my list of the best acting action heroes:

1.Mel Gibson
2.Nicholas Cage
3.Sylvester Stallone
4.Sean Connery
5.Wesley Snipes

 

[aaron]

Bruce Willis

I wouldn't say so much on Nicholas Cage

 

[<(o_o)>]

Robert Deniro
Harrison Ford
Bruce Willis
Clint Eastwood
Anthony Hopkins

 

[ShaneHelms]

Wow.. I cant believe he hasn't been named yet.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Wow.. I cant believe he hasn't been named yet.

Perhaps because no one would put Arnie on any list with 'Best Actors" in the title?

 

[bullets]

christian bale
russel crowe
tom cruise

 

[MR.Fixit]

Ok,Bruce I forgot about,I think he's great.Harrison is good as well.But whoever that is who thinks Deniro and Anthony Hopkins are considered action stars is.....I don't know.Either joking or clueless

 

[StrainedEyes]

Anthony Hopkins?
Christian Bale?
Deniro?

I would never classify these guys as 'Action stars"

 

[MR.Fixit]

christian bale
russel crowe
tom cruise

Tom Cruise yes,but Crowe and Bale aren't considered action heroes.Cruise is good though

But you would Sylvester Stallone?

 

[StrainedEyes]

But you would Sylvester Stallone?

I wouldn't. Thread starter guy would.... Btw this thread is stupid.

 

[ShaneHelms]

I wouldn't. Thread starter guy would.... Btw this thread is stupid.

I agree.

 

[ToddIsDead]

But you would Sylvester Stallone?

I might not put him on a best actor list, but I'd damn sure put him on a best writer list.

 

[MR.Fixit]

If you think it's stupid then don't reply.And yes I would consider Stallone.it's obvious you guys don't know much about his talent or just listen to the other haters,but I'll inform you anyway.Watch Rocky 1-3 and Balboa,F.I.S.T,Paradise Alley,Nighthawks,Victory,First Blood,Lock up,Assaissins,Cop Land and Shade to learn that the man is great.

Put spaces after you use punctuation.. It makes my eyes bleed when you don't

I like Stallone. But i was saying that it would be a shame to mention him and not Schwarzenegger. Thats all.

 

[MR.Fixit]

And also this is a best actor of action stars list not of all time.Fu**ing geeks

Again man, after you put a period, use the space bar. That's all I ask.

If this was a greatest action heroes period list then Arnold would be close to the top if not in the top spot.But this was about acting quality.And while I'll be the first to say that Arnies acting has steadily improved over the years,he is still not as good as as many of them.Most are generally fine actors who have been pigeonheld.Arnold is a classis example of presence and charisma over substance.

Ok, that still doesn't explain Nicholas Cage.

 

[MR.Fixit]

Nic Cage is known mainly for being in action films by the majority of fans(serious and casual alike).Like the rest of the action stars, when he does anything else those films usually don't make money.It's sad really.His biggest hits are action films and he's proud of doing them,which is why I respect him so much.He's not some snob actor who thinks action films are an abomination.

Buut, you just argued that Arnie wasn't on the list because he's a bad actor... Which Nic Cage is also. He's always wooden and the same.
Bruce Willis would beat out Nic any day of the week. Hell I'd rather watch Keanu than Nic. (I love Keanu)

most of what we say on topics such as these are just opinions. You state your opinion about Nic Cage as if it were fact.I say Arnold is a much improved actor since he began and sometimes pulls off a pretty good performance besides the physicality(End Of Days for example).But even that is an opinion,but a valid one that I can argue.Your opinion on Nic Cage is just that and I'm not hating you for it.Just don't state it as if it were written in stone.Many people feel he's great.
In the words of George Burns "Whats funny is what makes 'you' laugh". Good is whats good to you,fu*k everybody else.but don't make your opinion seem like it's the last word.

Bruce Willis

He's actually one of the worst actor of action blockbusters. But he's really great in drama films.
