> Travolta's been in too many movies like "Mad City" and "Michael," in which his characters are wusses. Van Damme is a hammy poser. Diesel's too young. He plays a good cocky kid, but he doesn't have the class that the other guys have. Yet, anyway.

Well, wouldn't Harrison Ford also fall under this category? I mean, he's done lots of "non-tough guy" work. There's "Regarding Henry", "Sabrina" and "Random Hearts". I would say his roles aren't really about being "tough" to begin with. He just portrays that kind of guy you can't keep down.

> Ten years ago, I'd have put Schwarzenegger on the list, but he doesn't really have the Terminator image anymore. Someone else mentioned Ed Harris, another good choice, although there again, he's been in too many other kinds of roles -- good for his craft and career, but bad for the poll.

What about Stallone? He was awesome in "Get Carter". Well...awesome by "tough-guy" standards.
