LOS ANGELES, April 29 (UPI) -- The World Stunt Association is honoring Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves for his work in action films, Zap2it.com said Thursday.
"Keanu's work with the 'The Matrix' trilogy was some of the best from an actor of his generation, and is a perfect choice for the Taurus Action Movie Star award. He has consistently shown an ability to learn from the stunt teams on his many films and has expressed a genuine interest in the field of stunt work," TWSA executive producer Gernot Friedhuber said.
The 39-year-old actor has appeared in numerous action films during a career spanning more than two decades; among them are all three "Matrix" films, "Chain Reaction," "Johnny Mnemonic," "Speed" and "Point Break."
Veteran stunt professional Ronnie Rondell will also be recognized for his achievements in more than 100 films, including "The Crow," "Demolition Man," "Twister" and "Speed."
The Taurus World Stunt Awards, hosted by Carmen Electra and Dennis Hopper, will take place on May 16 and will air May 26 on Spike TV.
