These Are The Greatest Action Stars of All Time

Dolph Lundgren

This may come as a surprise, but Dolph Lundgren's breakthrough role was as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV. Despite having all of that star power, he didn't have much success before becoming Rocky Balboa's enemy. The Swede went on to act in Masters of the Universe, Red Scorpion, and Universal Soldier. 

Steve McQueen

Steve McQueen was easily one of the biggest action stars of the '60s and '70s. He was a common face to see in dramatic thrillers where disasters, car crashes, and shootouts were common scenes. His most famous works are The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, and The Towering Inferno.
