he sure has made a lot of crappy B-movies


Since his Indiana Jones days , he sure has made a lot of crap.
Especially those really bad low budget b rates on the Sci-Fi Channel

Yes, I have definitely watched a lot of crap lately just in order to see his performance. But there are some nice movies in between, although mostly not first-rate. And sometimes he plays great comic villains like the King Fastrad in one of those dragon movies - really fun to watch even in a quite bad story.

its like having a broadway actor in a school play. u just gotta watch it cause what are they doing there!

Whenever I see he's in a new movie, I am always hoping 'please don't let it be another stupid movie' like Medium Raw: Night of the Wolf. They always show that crap on TV. I have yet to see it but I will since it has John Rhys-Davies in it.

I love science fiction. Just when it's done right.

He sure has made a lot of money, too.

Every actor/actress makes their share of stinkers. Even Olivier made some bad choices (Inchon anyone?). Still, he has made a pretty large number. I guess he either needed the money, or he really likes to work. Of course, he might also be a little too trusting of the abilities and intentions of those who are making the crap.

He played freaking GIMLI in LORD OF THE RINGS.

What movies did YOU play in?

"...ah but the mere presence of JRD makes them at least tolerable."

I feel the same way. Any film time with Davies is film time well spent, regardless of the quality of the film itself!
