Which UFC fighter, past or present do you believe is the best actor?

[Yujiro Hanma]

I would have to go with Oleg Taktarov....who do you think is? Obviously Ronda and Gina are landing bigger roles...but I am merely asking what you think in terms of acting ability.....what are your thoughts?

I don't think there are enough mma fighters that are acting to start judging who is the best

I agree with Oleg not many more people have a better acting resume

Nick Diaz

He has title shots based on his acting.

 

[Andrei Orlovski]

Oleg. Ronda and Gina aren't good actors...

Keith Jardine reminded me of a young Michael Caine in Breaking Bad.

Jamie Varner

On a serious note, I think that both Rousey and Cirano are horrible actresses. Oleg is probably the best actor, but I thought that Quinton Jackson did a good job as well in the A-Team.

 

[DeathByBeer]

None of them are "good actors" by any stetch.

But Gina is nice to look at so, she gets the emmy.

Oleg Taktarov was the name I came to post after only reading the thread title.

Good choice. The only choice.

I've never seen Jardine really deliver a line, but he has always done a good job of adding an effective threatening ambience.

Rousey, Couture and Carano are actually the three worst actors I have ever seen from the ranks of MMA, in that order, slightly edging out Rampage.

What little I have seen from BJ Penn, Bonnar and Rich Franklin is bad, but they were also in absolute shit films with shit direction.

I actually enjoyed what little I saw from Teila Tuli, and while it wasn't a challenging role, Joe Son (yuck) actually did okay with what he was asked to do in Austin Powers. What a piece of shit, though.

Chuck Liddel played a twitchy punch drunk former fighter trying to get a bodyguard job in a movie to a T.

No one could have acted that role better....

 

[DaGenius]

Right now Oleg has the most developed craft of any UFC fighter

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Jose Aldo

 

[SteveColdStone]

Bas is alright.

 

[D.R.H.]

Kimbo. Have you guys ever seen Blood & Bone? Tell me you didn't legit believe he was a nasty con who wanted to have da butt relations with Michael Jai White! That has to be the most legit perfomance ever in cinema of what a lifer convict thug is supposed to act like.

 

[Ignicious]

The correct answer is Josh Barnett. Because he looks so relaxed infront of the camera. It's like he's been doing it for years. I saw him recently in Mercenary: absolution (a steven seagal film) and he held his own.

Keith Jardine reminded me of a young Michael Caine in Breaking Bad.

Indeed. And upon viewing "Tactical force" he has truly become a proven thespian, a master of the craft.
