2005 had David Hasselhoff. A rather unassuming guy who used to hang around with blondes with big boobs. Good on him for that, really. Even with being washed up long ago, 2005 saw him having cameos in various movies, albums released, and most people were of the opinion he was some sort of hero.

2006 was the year of Chuck Norris. Being a non-American, I had barely heard of the guy until 2006. Apparently he eats bricks and shits lightning bolts. I wached a movie of his the other day, and was gutted to see no bricks were eaten, nor lightningbolts shat out. I saw some sub-par acting and a few martial arts moves. He seems like a nice guy, but I doubt he does all the things he's famed to do. How can water be "Chuck Norrised" anyway, short of the guy melting like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz?
2006 had him have a cult following, verious statements made about uh... stuff, he even had a, (although short,) chapter in Maddox's book, "The Alphabet of Manliness". I have sent an E-mail to Mr. Norris asking about this trend to see if he knows anything about it, but as of yet, I have recieved no reply. I might add, nor has my Heart exploded and head ripped off by Chuck's mind-powers if he was angry with my 'lack of faith'.

Um.... Chuck Norris never had a comeback year...

Heck he never had a year period...

He's a second rate actor, who does second rate tv.

He's not that popular in the USA....

One thing I am looking forward to in 2007, is the fall of Brittany Spears...

It's been long overdue....

I didn't say 'comeback', but surely you've noticed the rise of Chuck Norris related comments, (see Fancy_Pollux's "Most Powerful Conventional Weapon" thread and look for people mentioning Chuck,) have seriously risen this year.
"When Chuck Norris Jumps in the Water he dosn't get wet, the water gets Chuck Norrised"
"Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried."
"Since 1940, the year Chuck Norris was born, roundhouse kick related deaths have increased 13,000 percent."
"Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month."

People started seriously believing these. I've certainly noticed the increased popularity of a guy I had heard nothing about. "Walker Texas Ranger" DVD sales have increased tremendously because of this.

Hmm, I think that it could be MacGyver, as he has been one of the heroes all along. My bets are:


[*]MacGyver
[*]Dr.Phil
[*]Mr.T
[*]Autopilot
Come on, it can happen!
[*]Rambo
[/list]

Just my bet though

MacGyver, as in the actor Richard Dean Anderson?

I would hardly call someone that has been acting/producing Stargate since 1995 washed up...

Then you would do yourself a favour by reading the thread title once more:

Sly Stallone has a new Rocky movie coming out, so that will boost his presence, and that is being followed up by another Rambo movie (I kid you not!), so you might be right Auto. However, he is a movie "actor" and Ty asked which TV actor would be promoted.

It could be argued that Mr T is a movie actor (speaking of Rocky), but his real popularity didn't kick in till The A Team. He is also currently working on a reality TV series. Something about granting peoples wishes who have been disadvantaged or something like that.

But my guess would be Paul Reubens. They will have put that little incident in the theater behind him and he will gain cult status in 2007. Mark my words.
