I can think of several that I would have liked included in the poll.

Sam L Jackson
Harrison Ford
Bruce Willis

But out of those choices, I'll go with Wesley Snipes or Charlton Heston.

I think that Ray Liotta and Joe Pesci should be on the list, but I have to admit it's pretty complete as it is. All these guys have had many great on-screen moments, but I had to go with John Wayne.

What!? No Joe Don Baker?!?!?!?!?  TeddyR

*Sigh* I guess I'll have to go with Humphrey Bogart. None of those other guys could have handled Lauren Bacall...

Derf:

I thought of Joe Don Baker.  He may deserve to be here on the merit of WALKING TALL alone.  However, his appearance in movies like MITCHELL and WACKO forced me to leave him off the list.

Where's Gregory Peck on the list? He almost took out the anti-Christ, for God's sake! Plus, he got ahold of Audrey Hepburn (yum).

Where's that brick.......

Lee Marvin, for sure, but I'd have to include lots of runner ups: Bronson, Van Cleef, Mitchum from the list.

Honorable mention to George Raft, he apparently associated with real gangsters and they began to copy his style of dress and mannerisms. It says something when those guys copy you.

Where's:
Burt Lancaster
Danny Trejo
Tex Cobb
Lawrence Tierney
Toshiro Mifune
Jean Reno
Jack Palance
William Holden - He almost took out the Anti-Christ and got ahold of Audrey Hepburn too.

I voted for Steve McQueen, the guy was tough and real cool, man.  Clint Eastwood and John Wayne would be the next two on my list.

And you thought Trek isn't cool.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
