Now if you would ask me who the biggest mangina of all the male actors is I would vote Daniel Craig, the latest and worst James Bond out there. I have yet to see a movie where he wouldn't pedestalise and white-knight and even his Bond doesn't sleep with many women and has a heavy one-itis. This is not actual James Bond anymore, just a dumb fighting brute.

Plus there is this most embarrising episode:

Wow.... well that killed any last shred of respect that I had for him.

Also Tony Stark, Captain Kirk, Cap. Future(nice guy), Tom Cruise - when he says
"Respect the cock, tame the cunt", Jack Nikolson - "You can´t handle the truth",
Tom Cruise in Tropical Thunder as the Grossman charakter specially at dancing ;-).

Sir mix-a-lot in "I like big butts and I can´t no lie, you other brothers can´t deny"

Michael Jackson as the smooth criminal charakter
John Donson as "Sunny" in "Miami Vice"
David Hasselhoff - sorry, joke.
The famous italian pornstar, Rocco I think is his name.
Thommy Mottola - He is no fiction, just married with Thalia. As I like Thalia he gets big points.
Silver Surfer even he is depressed all the time
Johny the flame from the fantastic four
Batman

He acts like a top dog and is in control of most every situation. With him 'less is more', he uses disapproving looks and body language to communicate much more than just running his mouth would.

I will go with Don Draper from Mad Men as well. Classy, alpha dude. And he is an Ad man like me.

Nicholson's most precise quote ever. I live by those words. They're true (although he should have added "sanity, intellect, factuality, ability to operate motor vehicle, ability to navigate...")

My avatar, Don Draper.

When I first started watching Mad Men, one of the most important lessons his character taught me was less is more. Speaking less has actually gained me more than running my mouth which is something I am supremely good at. Words are like fiat currency, the more you speak (print) the less the value of your words are. So when you really need to speak, the value your words have is off of the charts.

Don's character is short and terse.

Surprised to see Clint Eastwood get only one mention. He and Sean Connery are the top two, easy call there.

Clint Eastwood hands down, including his political philosophy. Very spot on. One of my favorite Eastwood movies, and an underrated one I think, is "High Plains Drifter". That character is very dark, sinister.

Of the modern actors, Christian Bale, both for the acting, and the ability to transform his body, something I have had some experience with. Plus Matthew McConaughey. Especially, watch his frame control in True Detective, incredible.

Completely model my deadpan game after him.

Good one. I watched Lost in Translation recently, and while the film itself isn't amazing, the way he delivers his lines, the timing and the pauses and so on, is very slick.

Also second Idris Elba. Great voice.

"John Wayne" is more than just a slogan. Always able to portray a tough but relaxed guy. You don't become an icon for nothing.

Al Swearengen really doesn't give a fuck, so he gets my vote.
