I thought he was going to be a big star


He had that one great scene in private Ryan, then he had a nice sized role in titans, then he did we were soldiers, and I thought he would be a HUGE star.
I wonder what happened. I figured by now he would be getting top billing in the standard American action movies. Huh.

uhh, he's pretty recognizable IMO, most people would recognize him if he was walking the streets. Being a star isn't everything you know, or in no way is a measurement of how successful an actor is. This guys body of work is much more impressive than that of Vin Diesel or Jason Statham (Maybe not Guy Ritchie's movies).

Are you implying it's a bad thing he isn't selling himself to studio productions?

Nope. Just thought he would be a big star. But hey, character actors are cool too. They just don't get the ginormous bucks they deserve.

Dude he's a dynamic actor man, first off, he was in a soldier suit in We Are Soldiers, and like, he played a biker guy in Bros Of Anarchy.

He's like, robert deniro or oldman
