Bronze Tiger, I dare you to Cross him

Actor Roger Cross as Ben Turner aka Bronze Tiger
Left click to enlarge
Look at those steely eyes, that's actor Roger Cross. Blogging about him being my first choice to play BT was one of my earliest postings for this blog. I found this fairly recent photo of him under an article about Cross being in the cast of the new Green Arrow series as a police officer. Needless to say I made some alterations to the original image here.
Have you ever noticed how the initials BT work for both Ben Turner and Bronze Tiger? Coincidence? Anyways, some of you may remember Cross from one of my favorite shows ever 24 in which he plays CTU (counter terrorist unit) agent Curtis Manning. Check out how the host on this show that interviews him for a 24 special feature practically to jump his bones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSxvxbQoBZ0
Also, check out this newly found awesome commission art by Christopher Ivy. It's pretty bad ass it's got BT squaring off with Black Panther.

      The Eye of the Tiger is awesome. Dude that's a great job on Mr.Cross you got there. And is that Task Force X fighting the Avengers? And who's side is Icon on? Either way Christopher has nailed it.

      Man, I can't get over this mock up of a live action Bronze Tiger. I play around like this too so I appreciate the intricate details that go into this type of work. Your a real soldier Shlomo.
      Long live the Squad.
