All round very good man. Nothing criminal about him though he could match most Russians for drinking.

Vinnie Jones

Have no idea if he really was a bad guy/enforcer in his British Football days, but he's very convincing and fun to watch, especially in Guy Ritchie's films.

This definitely seems meant as a tough move... not an amorous one.

... but he's probably lucky he didn't have longer hair and try the same ploy with this gal...

older: Johnny Mack Brown, George O'Brien, Bogart (sometimes)

old: Charles Bronson: Breakheart Pass and his caper and crime movies AND Lee Marvin, nothing needs to be said

modern-day, most of them pussies, I like mostly martial artists, not wrestlers; honorable mention to Stallone and Vin Diesel

Lee Van Cleef

The Lee Van Cleef/Leon Issac Kennedy Rule:

1. If they were the only one you could get, the project may be in trouble.
2. If they were the one you wanted, the project may be doomed.

Tough guys:
Richard Widmark in 'The Killers'
Robert Mitchum in 'Cape Fear' (the original)

As a john Wayne fan always believe he has the kick ass style.

However the real tough guy is Robert Mitchum, his roles in Cape Fear, Night of the Hunter and Five Card Stud lead the way.
