Kurt Russell


Kurt might be finishing up his career but he's a bona fide movie star. He might be taking smaller roles now so he doesn't have to carry a movie but for a long time Kurt was box office royalty.

Strother Martin is pretty much the definition of a character actor, and one who usually stole the scene whenever he was in a movie.

He delivered one of my all time favorite scenes in Slapshot. "Piss on old time hockey! Those people came here to see the Chiefs! The toughest team in the Federal League! Not you bunch of... pussies."

Just the way he delivered that last line was pitch perfect. A blend of disgust and disappointment.

I agree, but unlike a lot of action stars..Kurt can do it all.

Comedy, action, drama, romance, sci fi, horror, biographies, voice over work..etc. good guy..bad guy..there is a reason he is bankable.

ETA

He totally carried Tango and Cash imo

Could you imagine Cool Hand Luke without Strother Martin?
