Sorry if this has been posted many times before, but I was curious as to who everyone's favorite b-movie actors were.  Here's mine:

Dolph Lundgren
Jean-Claude Van Damme
Gary Busey
Lance Henriksen
Michael Ironside
Gary Daniels
Ice-T
Soon to be:  Sly Stallone
Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa

Rutger Hauer

I know I'm forgetting some, but these are some of the names that I can think of off the top of my head.  What about you guys, what are some of your favorites?

JOHN CARRADINE!!!!!!

How can you forget him? The legend of b-movies himself?! He almost created the genre single handedly! Sho Kosugi was pretty rocking in his b-movies too. My favorite? 9 Deaths of the Ninja.

Everyone has potentially fatal flaws, but yours involve a love of soldiers' wives, an insatiable thirst for whiskey, and the seven weak points in your left ventricle.

Although he died in 2000 he always seems to make me smile when I see him play his tough odd-job character...

i know his films are generally popular but who else can dodge a bullet, pull a phone booth out of the ground, lift it above his head (with a man inside it and) and throw it a few meters? not me.

"what did you do with sully?"

"i let him go!"

I think I could really get into this guy's films. Just saw FATAL BLADE and BLACK FRIDAY. The former is a good B-movie actioner, and the latter is absurdly entertaining. In fact, BLACK FRIDAY is a pretty fascinating mess. The director is obviously obsessed with showing off every camera trick he knows. Yikes.

Christopher George
John Saxon
Cameron Mitchell
Richard Johnson
Adam Roarke
William Smith
Joseph Cotten
Ray Milland
Russ Tamblyn

Yeah Todd, the thing about Gary Daniels is that only a very vew movies have capably shown all that he is able to do.  He's stuck in the Mark Dacascos syndrome, although Mark has more than one movie that shows off his talents.  If you can, try to seek out a movie called Bloodmoon.  It has Daniels in it, and it's directed by Tony Leung Siu Hung, a great martial arts choreographer in HK films.  Yeah, the movie is extremely cheesy, but it has some cool fight scenes.  It proves that Daniels is one of, if not the best white kung fu guy that no one's ever heard of.

And I can't believe I forgot John Saxon.  I'm ashamed of myself.

Fearless Freep

Thought I remembered seeing "Bloodmoon" but it turns out I was thinking of Cold Harvest

Pete B6K

Bruce Campbell
Timothy Balme (only for one film though)
Rudy Ray Moore
Kurt Russell (been in his fair share of cult/genre films)

And honorary mention of my favourite B-Movie Actress:
Suzanne Snyder (For 'Killer Klowns' and 'Weird Science mostly but I'm even tempted to watch 'Fools Rush In', on fast-forward of course,)

Oh yeah...forgot about Dick Miller
