...uniqueness. The current roster of action stars no longer includes six-foot Aryan walls of muscle (though funny accents still abound). As James Bond, Pierce Brosnan has managed to elude age with a suaveness and wit to be found nowhere else. Jet Li can offer his lightning-quick martial arts skills to woo audiences. As for Arnold contemporaries Mel Gibson and Bruce Willis, their biggest successes of late have not been in traditional action fare.
