10 Actors Who Should Be in Movie Pilot’s Expendables TV Series

Published

on

The Expendables series takes us back to the days when Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Jean-Claude Van Damme fought fiercely against their enemies. Back then, there wasn’t a famous action movie without one of these actors. Today action movies are on another level. The actors we know from the past are rarely mentioned in relation to this film genre. So Stallone started The Expendables film series to get back to the roots of the genre. He’s also interested in making a TV show out of it. Fox TV is probably the prime contender for the show, and here are the actors the Movie Pilot says should star in it.

Michael Biehn

Having happily starred in action classics like Navy SEALs (1990) and Aliens (1986), it’s odd that Biehn wasn’t part of The Expendables films. He is also the original character in the Metal Gears video game series. There’s no reason he should be left out of the franchise and Fox TV should seriously consider him for the TV series.

Kiefer Sutherland

Here’s another action hero who could play a villain in the series. Kiefer is known on Fox for playing Agent Jack Bauer on the TV show 24 . His performance in films such as Flatliner (1990) A Few Good Men (1992), Telephone Booth (2002) and Mirror (2008) also show his film quality. It’s kind of understandable why we didn’t have the pleasure of seeing him in the franchise, but he definitely deserves a try.

Mark Dacascos

There’s a lot more to a true martial artist than a regular action hero. Mark’s unique approach to martial arts and his ability to successfully translate it to his own acting benefit make him a great actor. He can play both a hero and a villain. The films Only The Strong (1993) and Crying Freeman (1995) can support this statement. Mark’s talent for playing a successful villain was showcased in American Samurai (1992) and Cradle 2 the Grave (2003). They are very underrated movies and this actor definitely deserves the spotlight on this show.

Tom Welling

Tom’s career began as a model for Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein. Before that he was a construction worker. But none of those jobs gave him as much satisfaction as acting. The role in the TV show Smallville (2001-2011) provided the necessary features to be in the Hollywood spotlight. He can do a great job The Expendables show himself as a tech-savvy guy supporting the team from his desk. It can be a good idea for the folks at Fox.

Gina Carano

You may know this woman from her acting alongside Dwayne Johnson in the film Fast & Furious 6 (2013). She is a former mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter and is currently making a name for herself in Hollywood show business. She will be a perfect match for the show as it is good proof that women can play powerful roles in the man’s world as well. Also, she is among the most beautiful fighters you will see in a movie.

Adrian Paul

This actor can only be mentioned for Highlander film series, among others. But when it comes to the list of underrated actors to star in The Expendables franchise, we can’t escape him. Adrian was an evil villain in these movies and fans couldn’t wait to see the amazing performance from him and Christopher Lambert. They were a perfect match and now he can do a great job in this franchise if the director gives him a chance.

Justin Bruening

The TV series Knight Rider (1982-1986) and Grey’s Anatomy (2005 – Present) wouldn’t be the same if it wasn’t for Justin. He has made his mark on both shows and has a lot to add to this upcoming show as well as he is a young and great actor. The ladies would love him as part of The Expendables team and he would be a perfect fit.

Katrina Law

Action movies wouldn’t be that good weren’t for the beautiful women in the cast. Katrina is the second girl that Fox TV should consider in the series as she is just gorgeous. Her acting performances in TV shows such as Spartacus (2010-2012) and Arrow (2012) prove the point of our proposal. If you want to use her as a villain, then Chuck (2007-2012) is an excellent show to see her in action.

Michael Rooker

Michael is definitely the guy you need on the show when it comes to villains. He was notable in TV series The Walking Dead (2010) and you can see his passion to play a villain. Even though he wasn’t as good in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), he’s probably the best villain you can have on a show like this.

Kelsey Grammer

The most famous Seattle psychiatrist in the American TV sitcom Frasier (1993-2004) is last on the list. An all-in-one artist in the film industry, Grammer is an actor, comedian, producer, director, writer, singer and activist. His most famous show Frasier is a two-decade NBC sitcom that launched his career. He played a villain in Consumables 3 (2014) and he’s good enough to continue in the TV show as well.
