My all time favourite action star has to be Clint Eastwood mainly because compared to most actions stars he's rather thin and relies on his tall height, accurate shooting and icy glare to intimidate his foes. Even
when he is an old man like in Gran Torino he still feels like he could your ass if he wanted to. Plus I love his witty lines.

My second favourite is Arnold Schwarzenegger because he represents every action hero cliche guns with unlimited ammo, bulging muscles, cheesy acting, dodging every enemies shots, etc. My third is a tie
between Samuel L. Jackson and Jason Statham. I like Samuel L. Jackson for the simple fact that I find him entertaining to watch when he gets pissed off, I feel he's at his best when he's screaming and yelling
and being a bad mother fether (even his wallet says he's a bad mother fether). Jason on the other hand represents the modern action hero with his gruff voice, unorthodox fighting style and has the muscular
build as well although nowhere near as over the top as Arnie's or Stallone's build.

Harrison Ford wins for being both Indy and Solo, plus a host of other classics. He really has a high great to bad ratio, especially considering how many movies he has made.
Segal? Really? What about Van Damme then?

Another vote for Michael Jai White! He even wrote the script for Black Dynamite, which is awesome by itself.
Contains rude words, NSFW.
Spoiler:
On a serious note, Harrison Ford. Didn't he even do most of his stunts?

Yeah Harrison Ford is sort of like Clint Eastwood not very physically imposing but has an intense stare, also like Clint Eastwood he's pretty good looking.

Oh yeah another reason I like Arnold Schwarzenegger is even though he seems so American you can instantly tell he's Austrian from his hilarious accent, I just love hearing him talk.

I personally think it's a good thing.
Thank god, i hate him.
He is such a depressing actor and he stops speaking like *pause* like I am the explorer that *pause* fails *pause* and also *pause* dramatically *pause* pauses *pause* like every other *pause* word *pause* period. *long pause* Thats why *pause* i am *pause* going *pause* to say *pause* that I *pause* Nicholas *pause Cage *pause am the worst actor *pause* ever.
Russell Crowe FTW!

I thought Christopher Walken was the actor known for strange pauses in his speech.

While I admit that I thoroughly enjoyed his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, I still wouldn't consider the character bad-ass enough to be on the list.
