Hey! What about Jean-Claude? He’s considered a talent-less actor but he’s got lots of talent.
Did you see him in “Double Impact”? The story was terribly contrived and the dialog was typically B-American cliché-cinema but his acting ability can be seen in the role as “the nice guy” twin.
I think the problem with his acting is that the Americans are hero-worshipping sods and persist in giving him “tough guy/hero” roles. There’s a long list of misplaced “tough guy/hero” types in American cinema, for example: Sylvester Stallone, Nicolas Cage, Robert De Niro, Will Smith, Steven Seagal, Roger Moore, Richard Dean Anderson, Wesley Snipes, etc. etc. etc. These guys are “pussies” and their demeanour upon the movie screen wouldn’t frighten a puppy away from a warm bowl of milk.
As a “tough guy” Jean-Claude is useless too. Now, I don’t know about all the rest of them but given the right role and Jean-Claude Van Damme will do an excellent job I’m sure.
