I love the color of money and top gun. He's a great actor, one of the best all time. - jwileson

Great actor

Best action actor ever. His most badass look was in Cobra, I don't know why this movie is so underrated. Stallone all day every day. I watched about 100 times each Rocky and Rambo movie. My favourite actor, by the way he is still kicking ass in his 70s.

Nothing beats rambo amazing

With the two terminator movies he achieved the superstar level - MatrixGuy

Predator & Conan...Nough said.

I absolutely adored him in back to the future trilogy.

Ok. This is the best actor of the 80s. He worked so hard to get to where he was! And he made it. Now, you probably don't know, but he was in America for a little, starving! He needed to get on Family Ties, and he did! He knew he had what it took! And he's hot not to mention

Michael played in back to the future the best time travel movie of all time

Best. Actor. Ever.

Indiana Jones! Enough said.

Come on people, it's Harrison Ford!

Great actor, Macho!

Love Him

Eddie Murphy should also come long before Biehn.

Charlie Sheen should come long before Biehn.

His best performance was The Breakfast Club by far

He is very underrated but he should be remembered in today's society, by many. Not only were his natural acting abilities inspiring, but the way he cared about everything. He was very environmentally friendly, a strict and committed vegan, and even in the 80s/90s he was supportive of homosexuals. I love him so much and words can't describe how inspiring he is to me and many other people. RIP, sweet River Jude Phoenix.

The greatest young actor of all time, River brought so much soul and emotion to his performances. His role as Chris Chambers in Stand By Me is one of the most beautiful performances of any film. River was a beautiful person inside and out, and his death was such an enormous loss. He is truly and deeply missed.

By far one of the most talented actors of his generation. Stand by me, Running on empty, The mosquito coast, Explorers... To name a few of his films. Stand by me is his best. Such a gifted actor and amazing person. I miss him.

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH he's AN AMAZING ACTOR AND PERSON RIP CUTIE
