Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, Frank Shamrock doesn't count. I'm taking about Martial Arts Actors/Actresses who train MMA, but doesn't compete in MMA.
I know one. Phillip Rhee.
Chuck Norris
JAmes Caan threw an armbar on a gun wielding casino thug.
Phillip Rhee was a martial artist before becoming an actor.
"Paul Ruebens He is the master of the Chicken Choke!"
the theatre he did that in was in my hometown
What belt is Ed O'Neill, BTW?
Not an actor but a musician, Tommy Lee practices BJJ
Paul Walker (fast and furious movies, Timeline) was plugging BJJ on MTV Cribs.
Paul Walker also used BJJ in his fight scene with Tyrese in F&F2.
Ed O'Neill should be purple by now.......
Brad Pitt has done some BJJ.
Guy Ritchie (director) trains in BJJand his wife Madonna used to train in BJJ.
Paul Walker sounds like Tito when he talks.
I think Brad pitt also boxes and does some grappling. anyone know . i read it somewhere
Brad pitt is a fan of MMA and did some training for fight club.
Like most hollywood celebs, his training is off and on.
Guy ritchie (director of lock stock... and snatch) is a judo/karate guy from great britain that has added some bjj into the mix, specifically training at renzo's place from time to time.
Al Bundy IS a purple under Royce Gracie.
jim carrey also trains bjj...
nicolas cage (bjj) already mentioned...
ed o'neill (bjj) already mentioned... trains with the gracies i think...
vin diesel was doing privates with ricco rodriguez at one point...
the drummer from poison (rikki rocket) (also already mentioned) trains with jean-jacques machado...
guy richie even entered a bjj tournament... my friend's brother was all excited because he fought him in a match...
chuck norris... machado bjj bb...
dan inosanto... also machado bjj bb...
those are the ones that i know or have heard of...
oh... and i know the machados did some consulting on one of the lethal weapon movies, under siege 2 (john gets choked out by seagal...lol), and if i'm not mistaken i think i remember rigan saying he was asked to come down and consult on 2 fast 2 furious...
I think HMC hit most of the main ones.
Brad Pitt is a big fan (and Jennifer Anniston too actually) and obviously did some training for Fight Club and some boxing for Snatch, but I don't think it's anything more than a hobby.
Mark Dacascos supposedly knows his stuff, even though he's mainly just a martial arts movie actor.
Kevin James (King of Queens) trained with Bas Rutten.I dont know if he still does.
Frankie Muniz!
