So is Dawn of the Dead his best movie since Pulp Fiction.


Seeing as most of his stuff seems to be Direct-To-DVD.

If you love Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it copy this and make your signature!

I thought one of his best roles was Don King: Only In America, it was made for tv but he was brilliant in it.

Ving is great in most of his roles but I liked him best in Dawn of the Dead.

He absolutely excellent as Don King..I think its his single best role to date.
I also thought Baby Boy was a good movie. He was solid in that too

He's good in everything, he was an absolute badass in Pirahna 3D, Pulp Fiction & the Dawn of the Dead remake, but his best acting is either Don King: Only in America, Rosewood or the Mission: Impossible movies.

I know I'll get crap for this, but seriously I thought he saved "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry." Not a great movie, but it was enjoyable as a rent. He was genuinely funny in that.

He's doing another zombie film. I forget what it's called, but it's zombie... something... look it up.

You can't deny Mission Impossible films. Those are all fun high budget productions.

He obviously gets work and I bet he doesn't cost an arm or leg to have in a movie. So the Direct-to-DVD market has a place for him (now a day it's DIrect-to-Streaming), which is usually the independent budget films. Work is hard to find these days for some people and he's not known for being a leading man. So I bet his agent gets him those quick deals to play a small role, for a nice pay day.

Most likely. Wasn't that big on DOTD and might rate Piranha slightly higher.

yeah I didn't like the movie, but he was funny in Chuck and Larry.

And yes, he was the ONLY funny part of that movie.
