Don ‘The Dragon’ Wilson

Wilson is unquestionably the greatest underappreciated martial arts actor, and we can’t seem to get away from that. He wasn’t a megastar like Jean Claude Van Dame, which is primarily the reason for this. However, he had a sizable fan base just because he appeared in so many legendary underground action films. In addition, many people consider him the greatest full-contact kickboxer in American history and the greatest kickboxer to ever appear on the big screen.

In Goodfellas and The Sopranos, Michael Imperioli perfected battling with words. But it turns out he’s not too bad on his feet either. The talented performer began taekwondo as part of a healthy lifestyle and claims that it assisted him in quitting smoking. “Taekwondo teaches you that you can overcome any obstacle, that you can tackle anything,” he said in an interview with the Associated Press.
