No Al Pacino? Oh well, I still enjoyed it. Love me some Clint Eastwood and James Cagney.

Great list. Like so many others, I would just change the order. Zantimisfit is correct, Borgnine in “Emperor of the North” versus your favorite, Lee Marvin. Freaking unforgettable.

Also, Robert Mitchum, just for “Night of the Hunter” should be way up there. Plus, when he did those beef ads, it always sounded like: “Beef, I went out and killed it myself, so it’s for dinner, and you will like it.”

Now that I look back at what I have said, maybe I am describing a list of bat-sh*t crazy characters that caused me to loose sleep. Oooo, I smell a new list.

Let me just say. I know John Garfield as an actor, and I know his real true life story. He was a real tough guy from the Bronx. He said if he dint become an actor he would have become public enemy # 1. He is so far ahead of Dana Andrews, Yul Brenner, Sean Connery its almost laughable. You have him 20th. Please do your homework on John Garfield. You will find he should be way up at the top of the list. A true tough guy in every sense of the worrd!!!

I can’t believe that the outstanding (and my favourite actor of all times) Marlon Brando is not in the list!

Lee Marvin absolutely deserves number one. Not only was he tough on film, but the dude won a Purple Heart in the Pacific in WWII. Don’t think any of the others can even come close to that.

I would have put Steve McQueen higher but that’s just me. After all, he was as tough in real life as on the screen. A good list no matter what order.

We have a family friend that’s a carbon copy of Clint Eastwood. He and his wife were visiting Italy and a group of tourists chased him down and refused to leave him alone until he took a picture with them. He told them repeatedly that he was not Clint Eastwood but they didn’t care.
