7. Raul Julia – Street Fighter (1994)

Julia passed away on October 24, 1994, after suffering a stroke. Despite battling stomach cancer, he completed Street Fighter, released in December 1994, in what became his final theatrical film role as villain M. Bison.
He also accepted the part because his children loved the video game, and his performance was widely considered the highlight of the otherwise poorly received film. Shortly after, he was posthumously awarded both a Primetime Emmy and a Golden Globe for The Burning Season.
