Today we turn our attention East to the lands that were the basis of civilisation (no it’s not Oklahoma, Eric). I want to find out who you guys think is the ultimate Asian actor. I’ve tried to choose a number of famous actors from a sample of countries in Asia. I’ve included the Middle-East, Arabic countries, and East Asia. This is the continent that’s given us the upbeat dancing of Bollywood, the martial arts movies of China, and the weird shit that comes from Korea and Japan (which I love). All of the actors below were born in Asia and I’ve listed them with their country of birth. Get voting little kickers!
Honourable mentions: Godzilla (Japan), Jesus (Palestine), Gizmo the Mogwai (China), That offensive Indian caricature from the Short Circuit movies (not India)
That’s your lot folks. Get voting for your favourites and check back soon for the next continent in our whistle-stop tour of the world. And if you’d still like to take part in the Screenkicker Olympics then get in touch at michaelboyd185@gmail.com or on twitter @metalmike25

Poor Donnie! You have to relinquish your Chinese heritage! And you did it for as bad an actor as Keanu.
I knew you would vote for Iko Uwais 🙂
