Street Fighter Star Chris Klein On Becoming An Action Hero
Actor Chris Klein pontificates on the trials and tribulations of becoming an action star in Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, opening this weekend in theaters across the country.
Klein plays Charlie Nash, who in the movie is a police officer on the trail of Bison, as opposed to the Air Force lieutanant he is portrayed as in the series. Nash is Klein’s first action holy rummy hero role, requiring him to learn how to handle handguns and participate in his first official exploding-building dive, a milestone for any aspiring action star.
There was so much noise and so much going on. It comes off really good on screen, it was absolute mayhem. I remember royally rummy right before we did the rummy 365 jump stunt, I looked at [the producer] and said, ‘It all starts right now. This is going to be three nights of mayhem.’ And he goes, ‘Don’t get hurt.’ I’m blasted out of that building. You see my face and everything. I’m blasted out.”
He’s blasted out! Doesn’t that sound exciting?
Unlike his co-star Kristen Kreuk, Klein actually played the Street Fighter games as a kid, which means we can actually blame him if the movie does horrible things to our memories of the video game.
“I started my Street Fighter 2 on Super Nintendo,” Klein said. “That was the first Street Fighter that I played outside of the arcade. I wasn’t good at it, not nearly as good as my peers, but I liked it. I remember it being the first one-on-one action fighting game that I really liked.”
No way? We remember it that way as well. What a coincidence!
We’ll find out if Klein honors Charlie’s memory when the film hits theaters this weekend. If not, we’ll send Guile after him.

The variety of games is excellent, including table games like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, in addition to slots. This keeps the platform interesting and allows me to switch games depending on my mood. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further. I really enjoy playing the slot games here. The variety is amazing, from classic reels to modern video slots with interactive bonus rounds. Every spin feels like an adventure, and the graphics and sound effects are top-notch, making the experience immersive and exciting.

The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay. I love the overall aesthetic of the platform. The animations, visual effects, and sound design make the gaming experience more dynamic and immersive. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly.
