Donnie Yen is the best. It's a shame he hasn't much exposure in Western Cinema since he was raised and educated in Boston and so unlike many Chinese actors, has naturally perfect english which would translate well.
He always seems to die in his western roles like in Hero, Shanghai Knights 2, Blade II, Highlander: Endgame etc. I think the only role he hasn't died in was his starring vehicle in the wholly awesome Iron Monkey. This guy was personally chosen by Jet Li to be his opponent in Wong Fei Hung 2 as well as Hero, and can totally keep up with him.
