Totally agree with Creasy from “Man On Fire.” And Russell Crowe in “Gladiator.”
Others on my list:
-Bulwyf in “13th Warrior”
-Vic Mackey in “The Shield”
-Achilles, Hector, and Ajax in “Troy”
-Clive Owen in “King Arthur”
-Russell Crowe as Bud White in “L.A. Confidential”
-Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday in “Tombstone”
-Chow Yun Fat in “The Killer” (or in any John Woo movie, really)
-Titus Pullo, Lucius Vorenus, Mark Antony, and Julius Ceasar in HBO’s “Rome”
-Seth Bullock in HBO’s “Deadwood”
-Robert DeNiro in “Ronin”
-Walsingham in “Elizabeth”
And, of course, BRAVEHEART

I always wondered what the hell he killed to get that helmet and armor. The helmet almost looks like the skull of a Predator. Talk about a bad-ass crossover!

We all know Eastwood, Arnold & Bronson kick ass. I’m going add to the list of actors that don’t always play tough guys. But do in the following.
Jason Statham - Mean Machine (2001) - Sure, we know he kicks ass now, but this is before The Transporter. I only knew him as Turkish & Bacon.
Michael Chiklis - The Shield (TV) - I was shocked when I saw The Commish kick ass.
John Cusack - Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) His hand to hand with Benny “The Jet” Urquidez’ (world-champion kickboxer) was great.
Stacy Keach - The Ninth Configuration (1980)
Benicio Del Toro & Ryan Phillippe - The Way of the Gun (2000)
Paddy Considine - Dead Man’s Shoes (2004)
Sam Elliott - Road House (1989)
Denis Leary - Suicide Kings (1997)
James Spader - 2 Days in the Valley (1996)
