14. Sylvester Stallone
By 1980, Sylvester Stallone’s brief affair with artistic credibility had been exposed as a fraud and he was sinking into the action hero role he’d happily inhabit for the next twenty years (with brief instances of Copland in the mix). In the 1980s, while he was still kicking tail in the Rocky movies, he also introduced the world to John Rambo and starred in several memorable films from the decade. These days, Stallone is enjoying something of a victory lap, watching a new generation tackle his most prized character. In fact, Stallone just nabbed a Golden Globe for his performance as an aged Rocky in Creed.
