Welcome to the boards.
I'd definitely recommend Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Mass Effect 1 and 2, and Dragon Age Origins. Mass Effect is a sort of Gears of War with an RPG twist.....with a great Sci-Fi story to boot. Oblivion and Mass Effect are a bit more on the direct action side, but Dragon Age is just an overall awesome experience as well. I don't know if they all quantify as "action RPG's", but all of them involve real time combat (no turned based stuff). You shouldn't be disappointed with any of these selections. And considering how cheaply you can pick up Oblivion and the first Mass Effect for these days, there's absolutely no reason not to check out either or both of them.
