10 Actors Even More Impressive When You Know The Truth
10. Every Jason Statham Movie Has Had A Theatrical Release
Card-carrying action stars are few and far between in the current moviegoing era, and perhaps the most underappreciated of them all is Jason Statham, who over the last quarter-century has delivered a consistent slew of commercially successful action flicks.
But the most impressive thing about The Stath's longevity as an action star? Every single one of his movies has had a theatrical release.
With more than 50 roles to his name since making his unforgettable debut in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, it'd be reasonable to assume that at least a handful of his action vehicles went straight-to-video or direct-to-streaming, but no - they've all had a big-screen release of some kind.
Couple this with the fact that Statham has never appeared in a TV series either, and he's one of the few actors working today who has basically become a cinematic brand unto himself, enough that he's been able to ensure all of his movies have had a theatrical rollout.
While he might not be a bonafide A-lister on the level of, say, Tom Cruise, his consistent commitment to delivering the meat-and-potatoes goods has served him well for a whole 25 years.
