Sometimes I read up on celebrities we haven't heard from in a long time just to see how old they are and what they are doing. Interestingly enough I found out that Ed O'Neill from Married with Children is a black belt in Brazillian Ju Jitsu as of 2007...when he was 60 years old! I found it surprising and it made me wonder what other celebrities are martial artists and what their credentials are. Just post the info and pic if you got.....sorry if this is old news that everyone already knew.
Ed O'Neill
BJJ Black belt under Rorion Gracie

I know a couple years back he worked really hard to lose a lot of weight because he was nearly 50 and had always been so large....probably didn't want to die of a heart attack.
