Growing up probably Jean Claude Van Damme or Steven Seagal.
My childhood consisted of watching Bloodsport and Kickboxer on repeat lol.

Fredrick March Tyrone Power Charlton Heston Gregory Peck Stephen Boyd Al Pacino Burt Lancaster Kirk Douglas Armand assante Lawrence Olivier
Check our Abandon ship staring Tyrone Power, Lloyd Nolan and Stephen Boyd. It on YouTube. Who do you think could play in a remake if made today? Great list. I'm going to look up that movie and tell you. What was the first movie you ever saw at the movie theater? I can't remember probably a monster movie  I spent a lot of time in movies after I ran away from home. Globe Theather in the Bronx was the best. Get there in the morning cost 25 cents you got three monster movies, 25 cartoons at least 4 cereals like Flash Gordon. If the monster movies were good and they were good would see them all twice. Now if I see them on Amazon I buy them.
only the unloved hate

Now if I see them on Amazon I buy them. That's some deal 25 cents.  My Dad said he saw King Kong as his first movie, I think he was 8. This was back in the 40's. Was that back in the 40's or 50's? I watched about 40 minutes of that movie Abandon Ship. None of today's actors can come close to Tyrone Power's outstanding performance in that role imo. As soon as I started watching it I thought of George Clooney because he has the looks and the ability to play the character but lacks that confidence and power that Tyrone P had. Another actor I thought of was Henry Cavill who played Superman in Man of Steel. Some other actors I thought of for that role were Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Daniel Craig, Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy. If Tom Hanks wasn't so goofy he could play him. Tyrone Power is the perfect man. He had the confidence, the intelligence, the power, the good looks, the charm. He had just the right balance of what a man needed to handle that situation he was in. He was very fair minded too. I'll watch the rest of the movie one day, kind of depressing. I skipped to the end to make sure it had a happy ending

What was the first movie you ever saw at the movie theater? A Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis film, "Pardners". It was one of their last movies they made together. A hot summer night in 1956; I was five years old. My parents wanted to get out of the hot apartment (this was in the days before everyone had air-conditioning at home) so they took me to the local theater and we watched Martin & Lewis in a COOL room. It was over sixty years ago but I still remember being thrilled at going into this huge, cavernous, dark room and seeing all these people watching the screen. I knew who the stars were (from television) and I think watched about thirty minutes of the movie before I fell asleep. I'd go on to visit that theater many, many times while I was growing up. I'd go with my friends once a month on a Saturday and spend the entire day there for 50¢ to see two main movies, a serial and some cartoons. Then, as I got older, I'd go there on dates. I'd still go there with my wife after I got married. Then the theater became a gym. Somehow everything came full cycle. Now when I go to a theater I fall asleep again. Only difference is, I snore now.

Favorite performance in a movie:
Jack Lemmon in Glengarry Glen Ross If you liked him in that you'll love his performance in "Save the Tiger".

You turned it off before the best part. He did something some might call fucked up. I can't tell you any more then that it will spoil it for you watch the rest. I watched the rest of it. And now, I think even more highly of Alec Holmes played by Tyrone Power. He got the situation handled, never backing down or second guessing himself. That is what I call a REAL man. He had to make extremely difficult decisions, everyone was against him. Not an easy job. Only a true ALPHA MALE can do that. Meow.  Not too many men like that around in the real world today. I still believe my list of actors could play that role, just not as well as Power did. Do you have another movie for me to watch? The older the better.
