First before anything else, let me start with a few FAN-tastic things. My Chicago Bulls are surging into the playoffs and they look like the team to beat in the East, the Blackhawks are also making their push into the playoffs in the NHL as well. & days and a new MLB season is upon us, GO CUBS GO, lets do it, this can be it lets break the 104 year streak and make Chicago happy shall we. Here's a sad R.I.P. to Elizabeth Taylor at the age of 79, her movies were almost as entertaining as her revolving door matrimony life, she was one of the last golden age of movie celebs yet, she had a stunning way of grabbing an audience by the shirt and not letting go till the final credits, may she find her peace.
OK on to number 8, this is most likely the easiest spot for me. This man was at one time the man measuring stick. A true fighter on and off camera. He also made pony tails for guys cool. As I searched other lists I was shocked to see his name excluded but hey this is all subjective so it is all good. Some of you may think he should be higher on the list but when you see how I have to cram the rest of these heavyweights of action in the next 7 spots you might understand. Here is folks the one the only Steven Seagal. Before and pissing and moaning about his spot here is a look at his work from Wiki just too many to type but just look at the list . Very impressive no. I think 8 is right where he belongs, fast hands and faster mouth, the one gripe people have is that every movie is the same to which I say Duh Winning. Why mess with something if you don't need to. He understood his range and stayed where he was comfortable and I say Kudos to that. Sometimes facing facts about your acting skills can be hard but not for Steven, he knew his range and stuck it out right there in that zone. His fast hands and ability to make bone snapping look real is his gift, why branch out, something Jim Carey could have been told among others. Rule 1 for staying hot in Hollywood Know who you are, not everyone can be a Brad Pitt and move between genres with ease, so for this I say thank you Steven and enjoy number 8 you earned it.
The list is from Wiki and I couldn't turn off the links but enjoy eye listeners.

G'day Dave. Great choice. I liked some of his movies and always loved that ponytail. I seem to remember at one stage he was trying to stop some sort of cruelty to dogs in Thailand or somewhere similar. Take care. Liz...
