Chuck Norris says he was the best; are you going to argue with him?

Ok, I don't say he is the best but he did a brilliant job in "Walker, Texas Ranger". Walker was my hero back in the 90s

2 Lucy Lawless Lucille Frances Lawless, is a New Zealand actress and singer. She portrayed the title character in television series Xena: Warrior Princess, Number Three on the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series and Lucretia in the television series Spartacus: Blood and Sand, its prequel Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and its sequel Spartacus: Vengeance.

I love this woman. Her Xena is an iconic T.V. character. She kicked ass! Lucy was in other T.V. shows like "Trzan", "Spartacus: Blood and Sand", "Battlestar Galactica"

3 Peta Wilson

"La Femme Nikita" is one of my favorite 90s T.V. shows. Yes, we have another Nikita series ans I'm sure, we will get more in the future but this one had a soul. Peta did a great job!

4 Tom Selleck Thomas William Selleck is an American actor and film producer. He is known for starring as private investigator Thomas Magnum in the television series Magnum, P.I.

He is known for his comedy movies but the show "Magnum, P.I." was phenomenal. Definitely one of my most favorite action/adventure shows

5 Bruce Lee Bruce Lee (November 27, 1940 – July 20, 1973) was a Hong Kong and American martial artist, martial arts instructor, actor, director, screenwriter, producer, and philosopher. He was the founder of Jeet Kune Do, a hybrid martial arts philosophy drawing from different combat disciplines that is often credited with paving the way for modern mixed martial arts (MMA). Lee is considered by critics, media, and other martial artists to be the most influential martial artist of all time and a pop culture icon of the 20th century, who bridged the gap between East and West. He is credited with promoting Hong Kong action cinema and helping to change the way Asians were presented in American films.

Remember his legendary Kato from The Green Hornet series? He was cool, very cool
