You're right there, Fred. Cruise, Pitt, Depp, Willis, Stallone, even really accomplished "modern" actors like Kevin Spacey or Al Pacino - none of them can hold a candle to Chris Lee. The man simply exudes star quality, that indefinable "presence", for want of a better word, that sets actors of his calibre apart from the bunch (although Spacey and Pacino are very fine actors).
There are very few of these real stars left nowadays. Mr Lee is, in my opinion, right up there with the likes of Spencer Tracy, Cary Grant and Jimmy Cagney, bona fide superstars, not these flash in the pan pretty boys skating by on looks/muscles rather than talent.
I mean, look at who passes for a so-called "star" these days - Steven Seagal, Jean Claude Van Damme, Adam Sandler for goodness sake???!! These guys can't act to save their lives!!
OK, rant over.
