Evel Knievel - on TV a lot. guest appearance in a couple of TV shows. At least one movie which he played himself. Many documentary about him. What a pick ⭐ Saw the movie at the cinema... And who can forget the toy. It never did like the adverts. Fell over a lot.

I'm starting off with Chevy Chase.
Not just comedy, action comedy. Fletch, Modern Problems, Spies Like Us, Three Amigos, Memoirs of an Invisible Man, etc.

Gonna continue on a theme here and take Harold Lloyd. The other big silent physical comedy star, and the first to create an iconic sequence of dangling off of a building, which is a major and tiresome trope of action movies today.

To add to the international flavour of my team, I will call on Rodrigo Santoro from Brazil. He was in the two 300 movies as the Persian King Xerxes and in the Ben-Hur remake, although since he played Jesus I am guessing that his action scenes were kept to a minimum.
He also plays a character named Hector in Westworld, but I haven’t seen it yet so I don’t know if it involves any action at all.

Peter Stormare.
He's got a sleazy intimidation factor from Fargo, to Constantine, to Minority Report, to Lebowski, and as Kramer's associate, but not friend, Slippery Pete.

You bastard, I had him tee'd up for this morning. Nice pick, he's great. I'll go with one of his ill-fated cohorts - Steve Buscemi, a Long Island native and a guy who sneaks his way into action roles now and again.

I'll go with one of his ill-fated cohorts - Steve Buscemi, a Long Island native and a guy who sneaks his way into action roles now and again. That was gonna be my next pick. You wouldn't generally think of him as an action guy which is why I went for Stormare first, but Buscemi has the Tarantino and Coen thing going for him and has even worked with Michael Bay for some reason. He also was an FDNY firefighter as he was trying to become an actor, so sort of a real life action hero.

I'm going early with my fourth pick of the day. If you were gonna pick them, shout and I'll withdraw him.
I love Ned Kelly. You can't deny any film about Ned is action right enough. Somebody has already taken Heath Ledger (outstanding version of Ned himself).
So I didn't care for his fay effeminate interpretation of Ned, but I'm drafting him anyway. It's...
Mick Jagger

He also was an FDNY firefighter as he was trying to become an actor, so sort of a real life action hero. Yup, as I'm sure you know, he went down to ground zero to help out during 9/11. Buscemi is probably more accustomed to action than most others on this thread. Jack Nicholson was also a firefighter (although didn't join the 9/11 effort). He famously kept destroying the prop doors too easily in the "Here's Johnny" scene from the Shining so they had to replace it with an actual, solid wood door so that it took him a few swings to break through.

I knew that Nicholson was too good at breaking doors, but I didn't know he was a firefighter. That's pretty cool. I'll forgive him for not showing up to ground zero. He was already an old man and I'm assuming he was in LA at the time.

I love Saoirse Ronan so I will find a place for her in my team, even though as far as I can remember the only action movie she’s done was Hanna back in 2011, in which she played a teenage girl raised by her father to be a top assassin.
