5. Rowdy Roddy Piper
Known For: They Live, Tough and Deadly, Hell Comes to Frogtown Back in the day the man known to the world as 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper was considered a legit bad ass and as such he was frequently cast in starring roles in B movies and low grade TV shows where he put his unparalleled promo skills and feared tough guy persona to good use. Who can forget Piper's turn as an ex-wrestler turned cop in the failed pilot for a series called 'Tag Team' in 1991? Or the time he butted heads with Robocop in the TV series of the same name as Commander Cash? Perhaps though the most famous role Piper will be remembered for was as Nada in John Carpenter's iconic sci-fi action hybrid They Live ion which he muttered that now famous catchphrase "I came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I'm all out of bubblegum". Imagine hearing him say that to Schwarzenegger before hitting him in the head with a chair and pile driving him through a table! Now who wouldn't pay money to see that?
