Tough guys

Any favorite movie tough guys? I'm thinking of the actor (or actress) but if you have a character in mind that's fine too. People who hardly ever play anything other than a hardcore badass.

Lee Marvin
Charles Bronson
Steve McQueen
Bogie
Clint Eastwood
Michael Madsen

Have you ever seen his last film (until Ragtime), One Two Three? It's a Billy Wilder farce set in Berlin just before the wall went up. Cagney is a Coca Cola exec trying to keep his boss's daughter from marrying a commie.

I have to raise an eyebrow over J.D. That's not meant as a knock. He only made 3 films and the closest he ever came to being "tough" might have been the final one, "Giant". Yeah, he punches out Rock Hudson but Hudson is being restrained.
