It appears we agree on four out of ten. Not bad, i suppose, but i prefer a list that has more diversity and can appeal to a larger audience (A larger audience would be a prerequisite for determining 'star quality.')

Take out JCVD, add Yuen Biao or Sammo Hung (probably Hung) as without those two; Jackie Chan wouldn’t have been as big as he is. I have to disagree with Bruce Lee though, while I agree he was perhaps the greatest influence to martial arts in the Western world; he had very little influence on an already thriving Asian market. Hollywood was already looking at the Asian market for ideas, even before Enter the Dragon arrived. With Seven Samurai, they brought out the Magnificent Seven in 1960. So sorry to disagree, but Jackie Chan to me would be number one, as he has had an influence on both sides of the pacific.

8. Shintarô Katsu: I love him! Fabulous in the Blind Swordsman series. I’ve watched every single movie – got them from Netflix. Loved the one where he took care of a baby and returned him to his father while battling countless bad guys. That was my personal favorite. Since we have Shintaro, why don’t you include Toshiro Mifune? Master swordsman who appeared in most of Director, Akira Kurosawa’s films. Many of his films were remade into American westerns. Maybe we should have a longer list.

Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Gordon Liu would have Ti Lung in their top ten.

I liked the list and agree with many of the comments. Chow Yun Fat is known more in the west for his dramatic roles than his martial arts but there you have it. As for Sammo Hung I agree he should be on the list somewhere but he is technically a part of Jakie Chan’s stunt crew as they grew up together and started in film together with a third school friend who’s name escapes me, maybe they could be added to his credit. The one thing I don’t like is the inclusion of JCVD, yeah his movies were great and helped make martial arts more mainstream in the west but he learned the skills while doing the movies, kinda like the late David Carradine. I would feel better if #10 was all the white guys who brought it to the west; JCVD, Steven Segal (okay so he’s native and not white but whatever), Don The Dragon Wilson (Also not really white but common he did help) Okay maybe just all the 80’s actors then. Great list though

…OK..maybe not the best ACTOR..but as far as Martial Arts go…where’s Steven Seagal?!
Seriously, the ONLY White boy to open a DOJO in Japan and TEACH them Aikido (probably one of their most treasured martial arts, since in it original form was used by the Samurai)!
They way he breaks bones and manipulates his opponents against themselves…
