I would bet there are more great English speaking non-American actors than American ones.

not at all. Any and all. I don’t know all but not just English actors. That’s stupid. I mean after The Foreigner I would say Jackie Chan. He was amazing and while not versatile, his skills and little acting put him up there and pretty sure not British. TKK was good, he’s not bad. He’s got personality and seems to always have fun sans The Foreigner.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Toshiro Mifune.
Perhaps if he had starred in a remake of The Karate Kid, we could better judge his acting skills.
