Did you know he could dance? With Bryan Cranston, Chris Christie and Henry Kissinger

While their careers have taken these 10 men into very different places, they have more in common than you think. Some are Hollywood’s finest actors who have brought iconic characters to life. Others have made us laugh while contemplating the nation’s woes.

One has played the President of the United States, while another may have ambitions of being in the White house in a couple of years, and one of these tough guys currently resides there. One thing that ties these men together is their ability to cut a rug!

10. In 1973 Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek danced around each other in Badlands. Who would have guessed that Kit would one day take over the West Wing as President Josiah Bartlet?

6. Bryan Cranston made a nation both fear and love Walter White--quite astonishing from a man who made us laugh at Hal on Malcom in the Middle for years.

5. From Rocky to the Roxbury--Sylvester Stallone has inspired another generation with Rocky, but will he ever live down his Night at the Roxbury?

4. It was 1951 when A Streetcar Named Desire was released in the theaters. Thanks to Marlon Brando’s performance, 63 years later, people still imitate Stanly yelling to “Stel-la!” In 1955, as Sky Masterson, he was lured onto the dance floor in Guys and Dolls. Smooth.

3. John Wayne (Marion Robert Morrison) was a box office draw for over three decades and remains one of Hollywood’s best loved actors. He was also successful behind the camera as Director and Producer on various films. This man’s man showed us his Jitterbug moves in The Fighting Seabees.

2. Taxi Driver is one of Robert De Niro’s most memorable films. In 1976 Travis Bickle stood in front of his mirror and asked the question we’ve all heard over the years, “You talkin’ me?” The De Niro who looks into the mirror in this next clip shows a desire to dance we never saw from Travis.

1. Christopher Walken has appeared in more than 100 movies over his career. In 1977 he played Annie Hall’s brother Duane, and that small part had a huge impact on movie goers. A year later he won an academy award playing Nick in The Deer Hunter. He’s managed to creep us out, make us think, make us fall in love with him, and make us laugh out loud countless times. And it looks like those dance lessons his mother made him take as a little boy really paid off.
