Hollywood A Listers Hire This Guy


This bloke is a great fighter and decent actor and I can't believe he hasn't been given a leading role in a mainstream action film. Sad that he had to get by making generally bad, low budget, shoddy action films. Give the guy a break!!!

Haven't seen Dr Strange yet - but everyone billed above him is a bit of a thesp or has a pretty impressive resume - so his names on the poster which is great. It would be a pity if he was just a henchman though... but it seems to be a decent gig. But yes - one takes the point that it would just need one decent, defining role - and importantly one that might have been seen be the wider public... that could take him on a bit... like Transporter did for Jason Statham.

Perhaps Batman might have been a bit too wild of a wild card, but the very fact he was at least considered, is a positive thing indeed.

Adkins for Bond? Would be great fun, but Daniel Craig had a lot more chance to demonstrate the dramatic chops before he got that gig.

Ah well

He is just a henchman though in Dr Strange.

I don't think he is trying to be an A Lister,he is doing is martial arts films and also doing some character acting on the side


Ask the guards, they'll deny it. Ask the inmates here—they'll cut their tongues out before they talk

The guy was in Holby City, 10 years ago. Which is a hospital based drama series on the BBC. So he has been doing acting more than martial arts action films for years.
