[Cain]

Who's your favourite actor....des'nt have to be an MA one ;)

Mines Will Smith [surprise!] and Slyvester Stallone :)

Arnie anyone? :D [though I did like the guy in the movies terminator and red heat!]

|Cain|

[GrappleorWrestle]

Of course the best is John Wayne, he is rough, tough, and takes the sh** off of nobody.

Bruce Campbell is the man.

Michael Dudikoff is one of my favorites.
Sasha Mitchell is another one.

But now to the serious business, the actresses:

JENNIFER GARNER and LUCY LIU :love:

JESSICA ALBA AND ZHANG ZI YI

[kobudo_tob]

Samuel L Jackson.

Tim Roth.

Richard E Grant (Purely because of "Withnail & I")

[aikiMac]

First place is easy: Brad Pitt. No one now alive can touch him.

Tom Hanks has to be mentioned. And I'd say Jimmy Stewart, Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman ("Unforgiven" is such a magnificent movie), ... but now my list is getting long, so I'll stop.

[WhiteWizard]

Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Anthony Hopkins they all rock

[gojuman]

Definitely SpongeBob

[Kwajman]

Whooo hooo gojuman, my 8-12 yo's agree!!!!!! *as he secretly watches....*

[inacan]

Harrison Ford is my favorite with;

Christopher Lambert, Mel Gibson, Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro & Sean Connery (not in any order).

[SK12879]

Al Pacino, Tom Hanks, Bobby DeNiro, Denzel Washington, Samuel L Jackson (is there another actor that epitomizes "cool" like Sammy?).

[pgm316]

Kevin Spacey.

Why's nobody mentioned Keanu Reeves haha

[Cain]

Keanu Reeves?????

Some said they should replace him in the matrix with a wodden board with a smile drawn on it's face.......then at least the wodden board will have an excuse to have the same damn expression everytime!!!!! :D

|Cain|

[Maximicus]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Poor ol' Mr. Reeves... In MA films Bruce Lee, the guy who played Sanjuro (in Yojimbo), and Jackie Chan. In GENERAL I like Bruce Campbell, Harison Ford, Marlon Brando, Bob DeNero, and alot of others:D :woo: :o

[judojedi]

[BlackRaven]

Male: Jack Nicholson / Anthony Hopkins

Female: Jodie Foster

[Kanja]

Mark Dacascos

Best actress though is deffinately.... a girl!?! Dunno who to pick, in terms of hottness Pam Anderson or Halle Berry or Shanon Elizabeth. In terms of acting ability Halle Berry or... I guess Halley Berry!

[judojedi]

[Topher]

Nicolas Cage, Jonny Depp, Samuel L Jackson, Jackie Chan, Ben Stiller

[Kanja]

Brandon Lee

[TigerAnsTKDLove]

TOM HANKS !!!!!!!!!

[shotokanwarrior]

definitely Keanu Reeves. He's sooo good looking. I love those scenes of him close up. I love the way he's so enigmatic, he hardly shows any emotion. I also love that scene in the matrix where he and Trinity go to save Morpheus, Keanu Reeves is wearing a skintight black jumper and you can see all his sculptured muscle.......ooohhhhhh.

[Jackie Li]

JET LI!! Well, i don't know if he is a very good actor but he is an amazing martial artist, thats for sure!

[Nrv4evr]

russell crowe. can't argue with academy award winning performances.

[Bruce_Wee]

Bruce Willis, Christian Bale, Sylvester Stallone and a few others

[Happeh]

Barney

[USGR13]

Jean Claude Van Damme is my favorite, I like others too like Jet Li ,Jackie Chan, Stallone ,Bruce Lee ,Lundgren,Phillip Rhee, Schwarzenegger but Van Damme is my favorite.

[Keysi_chick]

I would have to say the best actors/actresses are in MA terms Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Steven Seagal and Michelle Yeoh.

Best all round actors are Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Liam Neeson.

Best all round actresses are Halle Berry, Dame Judi Dench and Liv Tyler.

[Coges]

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are some of my favourites at the moment. Zoolander - crap film but funny as hell.

Gotta give Will Smith props as well as John Travolta (Vincent Vega).

[Athleng Nordic]

Sean Connery, Kurt Russell, and Patrick Stewart.

[Stuart H]

Samuel L. Jackson
Viggo Mortensen
Robin Williams

[Alexander]

My number one's Christian Bale (American Psyco). Closely followed by Gary Oldman (Leon). Other faves include Anthony Hopkins, Sean Bean, Chow Yun Fat and Lawrence Fishburne.

Favorite Actress... The girl off Layer Cake was good. Though I only saw the trailer :D.

[Hwa Rang Do]

Jet Li
Brandon Bruce Lee

[tribal s]

i really like Edward Norton

[dynamic_energy]

chuck norris, bruce lee, steven seagal, van damme matt damon, jackie chan and mark dacascos

[judojedi]

i really like Edward Norton

he's great! he has displayed much more versitility then nearly every other actor mentioned on this thread IMO. primal fear was one of his best.

chuck norris, bruce lee, steven seagal, van damme matt damon, jackie chan and mark dacascos

this thread is about acting, not MA ability. Either way, VAN DAMME? :confused: ? :D

seriously though, they're all pretty good except for van damme and seagal, they play the same part in every film.

[Shinzou]

I'm impressed, guys. I was worried people would forget mark dacascos (Brotherhood of the Wolves! French MA movies! what more could you ask for?!) and/or Ed Norton. Norton's amazing look at the change from like... American History X to Death to Smootchy (WIERD movie). And i'm in love with Selma Hyack (sp) and Jennifer Aniston.

[akira2000]

There is nothing like :JACKIE CHAN :D
Probably, the most talented man on the planet !!!

[thekicker]

male: Bruce Lee, Steven Seagal
female: Cynthia Rothrock

[Azrael]

Al Pacino (Scarface), Robert De Niro (Raging Bull), Mel Gibson (Braveheart), Denzel Washington (Man On Fire), Clint Eastwood (anything!), Brad Pitt (7 Years in Tibet), Johnny Depp (Don Juan)... Jet Li I would say is probably one of the most under-rated actors in the world. He has alot of depth and it would be nice to see him in a role that captured that, martial arts genre or not. Bruce Lee? Ok, I give major props to the man, and consider him one of my idol's, but the man played himself in all his movies and makes Jean Claude look like an oscar nominee.

[TigerAnsTKDLove]

Favorite Actor- Sylvester Stallone & Brad Loree

[tekkengod]

Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins, Hugh Jackman, Liam Neson. Harrisson Ford. Jet Li. Ben Stiller.

[|MT|omar]

Actor:
1. Will Smith
2. Keanu Reeves (mainly coz of the matrix)
3. Tom Cruise (although i've lost respect since the Katie Holmes thing... he's been so whipped :p)

Actress:
1. Jessica Alba (too hot)
2. Elize Dusku (also hot)


that's bout it

[Developing]

Top 3
Denzel Washington, Samuel Jackson and Sean Connery.

And believe or not Sean Connery made the first movie that I saw that got me interested in the martial arts. Way back in the 80's I was a little kid and my father took me to see The Presidio. I don't know if any of you have seen it but let me tell about this scene that is off the hook.

Sean is sitting at bar and because of his army uniform this big huge guy wants to pick a fight with him, so he taps Sean on the back and says something like, "come on fight me general, fight me." Sean turns around and says something cool like, "are you sure you want to fight me?" "Because if I do fight you I'm only going to use my thumb, my right thumb because my left thumb is much too tough for you." He then precedes to pummel this guy by striking him in pressure points and vulnerable areas with his thumb. I was amazed by simplicity and effectiveness of the movement. Even now I haven't changed I'll take something short and sweet over some long choreographed move any day.

[Winston Smith]

Christian Bale. I've only seen him in two films but he's a fine actor. I really want to see the Machinist & Equilibrium.

Although Harrison Ford was awesomely charismatic in those 1970's/80's roles like Indiana Jones. He got dull when he starting doing the serious political stuff.


My number one's Christian Bale (American Psyco). Closely followed by Gary Oldman (Leon). Other faves include Anthony Hopkins, Sean Bean, Chow Yun Fat and Lawrence Fishburne.

Good bunch of choices there. I rate Gary Oldman, and I like Sean Bean's earthiness. Although Lawrence Fishburne's off the list after those last two Matrix films.

[gerard]
