Best tough guy actor (old school edition)

[madoka]

Which one was the most badass?

 

[zinfamous]

That's a tough one...


I'm going with Lee Marvyn.

 

[Iron Woode]

 

[RossMAN]

Gene Wilder

wait a minute, what was the question?

 

[Dr. Detroit]

Clint Eastwood hands down - All his Western films, the Dirty Harry series, Kelly's Heroes, playing Philo Beddoe in Any Which way but Loose, Gunny Highway in Heartbreak Ridge,

 

[tynopik]

Curly Howard

 

[SKORPI0]

Danny Trejo.

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

Bruce Campbell. But if I'd have to pick from that list I would pick my mom, she's a lot more badass than any of those pussies ever was.

 

[who?]

Robert Mitchum

 

[Engineer]

No Chuck Norris?

 

[boomerang]

I'd vote for Lee Marvin if he was on the list.

 

[SKORPI0]

No Chuck Norris?

OP, meant old school edition. So probably before the '80s. Clint Eastwood being the last man standing from the poll list.

 

[tynopik]

Charlton Heston probably deserves a mention

 

[William Gaatjes]

Joe Pesci

 

[thebestMAX]

Lee Van Cleef

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Andy Griffith. He didn't even need a gun.

 

[DietDrThunder]

Jack Palance. Besides being a bad ass in movies, he was in his 80's and doing one armed push-ups at the Oscars.

"Ahhh. Skin Bracah! Ahhhhh!"

No one else could make aftershave so goddamn terrifyingly masculine.

 

[Tormac]

I am seconding Lee Van Cleef, and want to add Humphrey Bogart if you really mean old school, and also Toshiro Mifune if this can include foreign actors.

 

[sdifox]

What no Kirk Douglas?

 

[SKORPI0]

What no Kirk Douglas?

Yes, and he celebrated his 101th birthday, Dec 9th.

 

[slayer202]

peewee herman

 

[Skunk-Works]

Steven Seagal

 

[momeNt]

Both Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson were in the military and saw combat, I believe both also wounded in battle. So I'm going to go with one of those 2.

Marlon Brando
