Title: Stars too old for Action Films
Post by: Rico on October 06, 2009, 11:00:26 AM
Interesting article here:  http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/getback-too-old-for-action.html (http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/getback-too-old-for-action.html)  about action hero type actors getting too old to play these parts.  I pretty much agree with most of their picks.  One problem I see and reason these guys are still doing these types of films is the lack of a good crop of younger actions stars.  I mean can you name some young actors doing action movies that you think are good and will still be doing it say in another 30-40 years?  I'm drawing a big blank.  Maybe Matt Damon - but he isn't really that young anymore.  Or maybe Mark Wahlberg.  Others??

I'm a fan of Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Wil Smith, Karl Urban, Chris Evans, and a few others that I think are doing a good job in action movies.

Yeah that's a pretty good, more modern, list.  But most of those guys are still on the older side of what I was thinking.

How about the guy who plays 'Drama' on HBO's Entourage?
