Fav. T-Men Actors & Movies

Matthew McConaughey is totally my man crush, and my girlfriend knows it. He was a supreme badass in Reign of Fire (attacking a dragon, alone, with an axe) and he was an Indiana Jones-ish adventurer in Sahara.

When an interviewer asked how he’d prefer to die, he said “Ideally, wrestling a tiger naked. If that can’t happen, I want to go out just like my dad. Passed away in his sleep on a Sunday afternoon, after making love to his wife.”

Another guy I didn’t see listed yet was Paul Newman. Between Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, The Hustler, and Color Of Money, the guy’s just smooth. Plus, racing cars at 70-something years old isn’t too bad either.

or actors you’d go gay for.

My fav T-man movie is Goodfellas because the actor I’d go gay for,I mean,my favorite T-Man actor Robert DiNiro.

Second movie is Taxidriver,the guy is a god.The only movie I’ve seen where he sucks is Cape Fear.Raging Bull,Deer Hunter,Caisino,he even saved that suck-ass movie Meet The Fockers.(This isn’t a post for the thread “Openly Gay T-Men”,just my props to the best actor on the planet,DiNiro Mudder Fukker)
Since I love gangsta movies,my favorite movie without DiNiro is Menace II Society,gotta love realism.

The only reason why Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and Casino were good is Joe Pesci. De Niro is good, don’t get me wrong, but Raging Bull was boring, Taxi Driver was good for five minutes, and Casino was all right. Goodfellas was amazing, but not because of De Niro by far. Pesci is also the reason why Scorsese gets any attention at all. He’s way over-rated.

Regardless, Al Pacino blows them all out of the water.

Dude, his response to this question was so wrong on a couple of levels. Ok, I can see wrestling a tiger, but naked? What’s up with that. And then, if that can’t happen he wants to go out like his dad, dying in his sleep after making love to his mother??? That’s wrong.

I initially forgot about Jim Brown. That man was/still is a stud among studs. I went to Syracuse for undergrad and go back regularly and the stories about that guy are amazing. And at 6’3" and 230 lbs, he was bigger than a lot of d-lineman at that time.

Some facts about him:

Brown earned 13 letters playing football, basketball, baseball, lacrosse and running track. As a senior, he averaged 14.9 yards a carry in football and 38 points a game in basketball.

As a sophomore at Syracuse University, Brown was the second leading rusher on the team. That winter, he was Syracuse’s second leading scorer in basketball, averaging 15 points. He also earned a letter in track that spring.

As a junior, he rushed for 666 yards (5.2 per carry), averaged 11.3 points in basketball and was named a second-team All-American in lacrosse. In his senior year, Brown was first-team All-American in both football and lacrosse (43 goals in 10 games to tie for the national scoring championship). He averaged 6.2 yards in running for 986 yards – third most in the country despite Syracuse playing only eight games – and scored 14 touchdowns.

In the regular-season finale, a 61-7 rout of Colgate, he rushed for 197 yards, scored six touchdowns and kicked seven extra points for 43 points.

And he kicked the Martians asses.

Fuck Hugh Jackman, too tall and too skinny to be Logan. We all know Glenn Danzig should have been Wolverine - too bad ol’ Glenn can’t get Satan to give him some acting skills… LOL

Anyway, here’s my list

Lee Marvin

Steve McQueen

The whole cast of “The Wild Bunch” - who the hell wouldn’t want to go out like Ernest Borgnine in that movie ?

The japanese actor in the “Shogun Assasins” series - beyond hardcore.

Sonny Chiba - just watch the first two ‘Street Fighters’ and you’ll see. Cross Bruce Lee with Charles Bronson and you’ll have an idea.

Gary Cooper

Sean Connery

Eastwood

young Pacino

Alain Delon in “Le Samourai” (that movie is PIMP)

Chow Yun-Fat (the Killer, Hard Boiled)

Arnold (before 1990)

Harrison Ford (as Han Solo and Indy)

Billy Dee Williams (the man)

Jim Brown (fuck, the whole cast of the Dirty Dozen, scholar, activist, multisport star, banged Raquel Welch, and he was the dopest running back in the history of the NFL - a true multidimensional athlete - I figure the true T-Nation ideal in terms of athletic attributes.)

Telly Savalas (Kojak, and The Maggot in the Dirty Dozen)

Ricardo Montalban (only a true T-man can pull off the white suit complete with the dwarf sidekick - he rocked in Fantasy Island and not look like a complete dickhead!! In his younger days, he scored with half of the women in Hollywood - the epitome of the latin lover. )

a personal favorite: Christopher Lee - old school British actor, very cool, very elegant - (you may know him as Saruman from LOTR, Dooku, from the Star Wars prequels, tons of old school horror films and as Scaramanga - the three nippled Cuban assasin from the Bond flick ‘The Man with the Golden Gun’).

the style icon: Cary Grant - all T-men should aspire to his level of fashion savvy - the man knew how to wear a suit.[/quote]

looks like you’d go gay for damn near anybody!!!

Ray Liotta was Goodfellas. End of story. (But to be honest, the “Get your fuckin’ shinebox” scene is a classic with Pesci.)

And Pesci’s best part in Casino is when he gets whacked in the cornfield. (And maybe a few good lines, specifically his threats to the banker. “Cuz I’m stupid like that. That’s why.”)

Geez man, Oedipus much?? :wink: Granted, the nekkid tiger wrestling may be a bit much. But I’m pretty sure McConaughey meant making love to his own wife, not his father’s. (We can hope.)

Clint Eastwood in High Plains Drifter. No discussion.

Sean Connery as Bond.

Schwarzenegger as the Terminator. Does anyone even come close ?

paul newman in cool hand luke, the hustler, basically anything.
come on, luke was bad ass, then he went on to start a not for profit organic foods business on top of being a style and manliness icon.
this dude with a banjo playing plastic jesus…CLASSIC

oh yeah
i forgot, the guy that plays lincoln on the fox show prison break. he was also the vampire arch rival in blade trinity and he was john doe in the show john doe. hes like hugh jackman without being a pussy, he drinks, hes a family man, hes active, hes a great actor from a hard background, and he does things his own way. or not, if anyones got any negative on him ill hear it.

Exactly right. Best movie quote ever-Clint- while staring down four armed men “Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle dixie?”

I don’t know man… Schwarzenegger in Commando was pretty ridiculous - he was a walking one-liner machine in that movie.

(holding Sully by the ankles with his left arm upside down over a cliff)

“Remember Sully when I said, I’d kill you last?”

“Yeah, yeah man, I do.”

“I lied.”

(big, bad Bill Duke)
“Man, I’m a Green Beret, I’m going to kick your ass.”

“Ha! I eat Green Berets for breakfast. And right now, I’m very hungry.”

(to psycho Bennett)

“C’mon Bennett put that chickenshit gun down… (goes on and on about how Bennet wants to slice him up with his big ass knife.)… C’mon Bennett, let’s party!”

I apologize… I’m really bored at work today.

Eastwood in Heartbreak Ridge.

WTF am I hearing.Pacino blows them all out the water?Look,I like Pacino and really like Pesci,but they both way overact in everything their in.Yes,their characters are good,but they always play the same roles and always do it over the top.Plus,Pacino is most known for Scarface,which was made by DePalma,talk about somebody way over-rated.

He’s not boring,but his movies have no depth,just non-stop violence that insults your intellegence.DiNiro can fucking act,the only reason I didn’t like Cape Fear is because he played that part the Pacino or Pecsi would play it,overact and way over the top,not belivable.

Good call especially when he rips
“Stitch Jones” earring out.

Kicks the shit out of “Sweet, Sweet, Sweet, Sweet.”

Higher…Higher…then knocks the shit of Sweet’s chin.

Also, when he gives out money for “Gunny’s” special fund.

Good stuff.

Like the profile name.
