They're not really actors.  Many of these men have dedicated their lives to martial arts.  Kind of cheap to call them mere actors.

Well Jeff Speakman would be a Kenpo actor and Chuck Norris would be a Moo-duk-kwan actor:aok

Well seeing as all of them have appeared in movies I would say that makes them actors as well.

Besides If they had not been in movies I doubt you would have ever heard of them.

It begins and ends with Pat Morita.

Jackie Chan is a clown.
Seagal is only good at beating up women.
The rest aren't really actors.

Wow... look what searching the internet turned up.  I do like the way you play like you knew what you were talking about though.  And Bruce Lee is more Kung Fu than anything.  He just modified some things a bit as he went on.  He felt some of the Kung Fu responses were a bit inefficient... but most of that developed after he came to the states.

For the most part... Chinese = some sort of kung fu.  Japanese = karate.  I'm suprised someone as schooled in all that is the art of killing didn't know these things... or at least let loose such a nasty slip of the keyboard.

Well Actually  Jeff Speakman aint to bad an actor really.
Heck Hes just as good as Jean claude van fancypants.

But thrue most of them are for real martial artist first and actors second.

Speakman is amazing he has great hand speed for a good sized feller.

Bruce Lee studied the wing chung style of kung fu.

He created Jeet Kune Do because he was not into Kata's and all the classical mess as he used to call it.

So he combined judo boxing and many other martial arts to creat Jeet Kune Do.

And yes I have studied.
Brown belt Kenpo and blue belt Hapkido.

Also done my fair share of Tai Kick Boxing.

I find the Korean styles hard for me due to my size.

And me sucking at all those kicks LOL.

Oh I know much more than you think I do.
Jeet Kune Do  means the way of the intercepting fist.

I was a huge Bruce Lee fan when I was a kid.

You know Enter the Dragon Is the only movie where you get to hear his real voice.

It's not what you claim you know after you're called on something grasshopper... it's what you demonstrate beforehand that matters.

We'll save the next lesson for another day.  You need your sleep.
