These Are The Greatest Action Stars of All Time

Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan is everybody's favorite actor-who-does-his-own-stunts. He's a fantastic martial artist with some impeccable comedic timing, which makes him one of the best action stars out there. He started out as a child actor, believe it or not, but never really thought that he'd go into the big leagues.

The Coolest of the Cool

Chan basically ran into mainstream success. His big films are Rumble in the Bronx, Rush Hour, The Karate Kid, and even Kung Fu Panda (where he lends his voice). He did a lot of work in movies for older children, so an entire generation got to know him as the coolest martial artist out there!
