My Take
Ray Park is, for my money, the finest example of an actor who speaks entirely through his body. As Darth Maul, he barely had lines, yet his coiled, lethal movement with that double-bladed saber froze theaters worldwide, because it was real martial arts on screen, not trickery. From Toad in X-Men to Snake Eyes in G.I. Joe, this Glasgow-born performer is remembered for motion rather than face. In an era drowning in CGI, his flesh-and-blood precision is a reminder of craft. I'll always reserve my loudest applause for genuine stunt artisans like him.
