Duane Jones
Helped break through the race barrier kicking zombie ass in Night
of the Living Dead playing the hero in one of the first lead roles

Sir Alec Guinness
How often can a real life Knight play a Jedi Knight? Until Mark
Hamill gets Knighthood, his legacy is safe. Once made a kid who

again
COOLEST STUFF: Bridge Over The
River Kwai |

Matt Dillon
Though Rumblefish, and The Outsiders helped cement him as cool,
his threesome scene with Neve Campbell and Denise Richards shot
him into the cool stratosphere

Vince Vaughn
Helped make martini culture cool again in a way that hasn't been
seen since The Rat Pack was around in Swingers and Made...and I
don't care what you say, but he was a damn fine Norman Bates, as
well.

Cool not only for continuing Hollywood's tradition of beating up

John Voight
A modern day Lon Chaney, Voight plays a wide variety of roles with
a wide variety of appearances. His line in Anaconda, "The River
Can Kill You in a Thousand Ways" is still one of my favorites
COOLEST STUFF: Midnight Cowboy |

Robert Shaw
As the salty bastard Quint in JAWS, Shaw inspired a generation of
wannabee shark hunters, and crappy writers from aintitcoolnews.com

Dennis Hopper
So consistently crazy, you wonder if he's really even acting.
From the one legged freak with an inflatable girlfriend Simon Feck
(River's Edge), to the nutcase in Apocalypse Now, Hopper never
ceases to amaze. Nobody else could shout "I'll F*CK ANYTHING THAT
MOVES" (Blue Velvet) and get away with it.

From Mad Max to Lethal Weapon to Braveheart, Mel continues to wow
the ladies without alienating his male fans. His great sense of
humor is a plus, too.
COOLEST STUFF: Mad Max,
Braveheart |

54 |

Vincent Price
The best horror actor of all time, Price's creepy classiness was
never equaled. Even his narrative contribution to Michael
Jackson's "Thriller" was cool.
COOLEST STUFF: House of Wax,
Edward Scissorhands |
|
53 |
 |
Burt Reynolds
Sure, he's had more than his share of dog films, but in his prime,
he was the shit. Without Burt, we'd have had to watch Ned Beatty
get raped in Deliverance even longer.
COOLEST STUFF: Deliverance,
Smokey & The Bandit |
|
52 |

Larry Fishburne
After cutting his teeth as a young punk solider in Apocalypse Now,
Fishburne has added a huge body of cool work portraying everyone
from Ike Turner to Morpheus.
COOLEST STUFF: Deep Cover, The
Matrix |
|
51 |
 |
Harvey Keitel
Perhaps no actor short of Ron Jeremy has been able to show his
cock off on the big screen as much as Keitel. He's one sleazy cool
muthafuhka. Who else could play "The Wolf" in Pulp Fiction with
his class?
COOLEST STUFF: Reservoir Dogs,
The Piano |
|
50 |
 |
James Garner
Definitely one I'll get email about here, but I always thought
Garner was fanstastically cool. His work in TV's Maverick, and
The Rockford Files was fantastic. And he's the spokesperson for
BEEF, too. What more do you want?
COOLEST STUFF:
Maverick, The Rockford Files |
|
49 |
 |
Groucho Marx
Quick on his feet with some of the best one liners in film
history, Groucho is an American icon. And who else is cool enough
to still have popular novelty glasses 25 years after his death?
COOLEST STUFF: Duck Soup |
|
48 |
 |
Warren Beatty
All time King of the Hollywood players. Rumored to have slept
with every actress in Hollywood except the late Shirley Hemphill.
I love his solution to racism in Bullworth, "We just need to keep
f*cking each other until we're all the same color."
COOLEST STUFF: Bonnie and
Clyde, Bullworth |
|
47 |
 |
Cesar Romero
Sure, as the Joker in TV's Batman, he was cooler than hell,
already, but his work in over 100 films including my favorite as a
rascally gambling addict in Weekend In Havana with Carmen Miranda,
is awesome.
COOLEST STUFF: TV's Batman |
|
46 |
 |
Bill Murray
Another great everyman comedian made good. He was certainly
one of the best things to ever happen to SNL. Stripes is another
favorite of mine.
COOLEST STUFF: Caddyshack,
Meatballs, Ghostbusters |
|
45 |
 |
Brandon Lee
Lee's accidental death on the set of The Crow was perhaps the
greatest loss of potential talent since James Dean. He had all
the charisma of his father, and the moves to match. Thankfully
The Crow was completed post mortem, as a testament to his
phenomenal talent.
COOLEST STUFF: The Crow |
|
44 |

Richard Roundtree
Come on now...who else can get away with having a character's
theme song call you "the black private dick that's a sex machine
to all the chicks?" Damn right.
COOLEST STUFF: SHAFT |
|
43 |
 |
Peter O'Toole
One of Hollywood's great rascals. I once saw him on Letterman
plugging his biography drunk out of his skull. When Dave asked
him who a strange bald man pictured inside with no caption was, he
replied, "I don't rightly know."
COOLEST STUFF: Lawrence of
Arabia, My Favorite Year |
|
42 |
 |
Chow Yun Fat
Though not a martial arts actor ala Jackie Chan and Jet Li, Fat
pulled it off beautifully with Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. And
his John Woo directed twin guns a blazing epics are epics of
beautiful mayhem.
COOLEST STUFF: The Killers,
Hard Boiled |
|
41 |
 |
Bruce Willis
With his smartass, "Yippie Ki Yay Muthafuhka!" style in Die Hard,
Willis established himself as a genuine trash talking badass. His
scenes with Ving Rhames in Pulp Fiction are equally cool.
COOLEST STUFF: Die Hard |
|
40 |
 |
Jimmy Stewart
Forget Harvey, Jimmy's the man. Nobody plays the cool everyman as
good as Stewart. Mr. Smith goes to Washington is a great example,
as well as the syrupy Chirstmas standard, It's a Wonderful Life.
COOLEST STUFF: The Man Who
Shot Liberty Valance |
|
39 |
 |
Mickey Rourke
The underrated Barfly, written by Charles Bukowski, was the role
of a lifetime for Rourke, who already wallowed in cool sleaziness
with 9 1/2 Weeks. The fact that he's a nutjob in real life and
even tried his hands at legit amateur boxing in-between films only
adds to his mystique.
COOLEST STUFF: Barfly, 9 1/2
Weeks |
|
38 |
 |
Sidney Pointier
Everything said about him during his honorary Oscar presentation
this year is true. Nobody broke ground with the style, grace, and
class of Pointier. He'd be ranked much higher, had he not
directed Bill Cosby's GHOST DAD in 1990.
COOLEST STUFF: Call Me Mr.
Tibbs, The Defiant Ones |
|
37 |
 |
Buster Keaton
His groundbreaking stunt-work in Hollywood's golden age was
jaw-dropping, making him the original Jackie Chan. The
real-life train wrecks and mayhem he coordinated in 1927's The
General are unbelievable.
COOLEST STUFF: The General |
|
36 |
 |
John Travolta
Sure, he's given us crap like Moment By Moment, Two of a Kind,
Swordfish, Lucky Numbers, and a (shudder) Battlefield Earth, but
with his classic work in Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Pulp
Fiction, it's all forgiven.
COOLEST STUFF: Pulp Fiction,
Grease, Saturday Night Fever |
|
35 |
 |
Gary Cooper
As the star of 1952's High Noon, Cooper established himself as an
infinitely cool western star, but his versatility in roles like
Lou Gherig in Pride of The Yankees, and Sgt. York rounded him out
even more. You know you're cool when you're mentioned in the
lyrics of "Putting on The Ritz".
COOLEST STUFF: |
|
34 |
 |
Dean Martin
"If people want to think I get drunk and stay out all night, let
'em. That's how I got here, you know." Though known as a loveable
alcoholic, Martin's coolness took off when he dumped partner Jerry
Lewis and churned out classics like Rio Bravo. And let's not
forget his fantastic roasts.
COOLEST STUFF: Rio Bravo |
|
33 |
 |
Cary Grant
Though one wonders how cool he would have been had he used his
real name, Archibald Leach, Grant was the king of suave. And for
someone born in England, he had surprisingly nice teeth.
COOLEST STUFF: North by
Northwest, To Catch a Thief |
|
32 |
 |
Jack Palance
One handed push ups at The Academy Awards aside, Palance is always
a great tough old bastard. Even his hosting gig on TV's Believe
it or Not was great stuff.
COOLEST STUFF: City Slickers,
Batman, Shane |
|
31 |
 |
Harrison Ford
It's impossible to think of anyone else playing Indiana Jones with
the coolness of Harrison, who in his prime was the ultimate modern
day swashbuckler. Let's hope Part IV of the series isn't too
embarrassing.
COOLEST STUFF: Raiders of the
Lost Ark |
|
30 |
 |
Kurt Russell
With his entire life under the camera in some form, Russell has
grown from childhood Disney roles to genuine badass parts with
almost no growing pains. His portrayal of Wyatt Earp is the best
ever.
COOLEST STUFF: Tombstone,
Escape from New York |
|
29 |
 |
Boris Karloff
The best monster actor ever (save Bea Arthur), his near wordless
work as Frankenstein's Monster achieved more sympathy with
gestures and grunts than most actors could with a great script.
COOLEST STUFF: Frankenstein,
Bride of Frankenstein |
|
28 |
 |
Lee Marvin
"Ah, stardom! They put your name on a star in the sidewalk on
Hollywood Boulevard and you walk down and find a pile of dog
manure on it. That tells the whole story, baby." This attitude
solidifies his coolness for me. He also got a Purple Heart as a
Marine invading Sai-Pan!
COOLEST STUFF: The Dirty
Dozen, Paint Your Wagon |
|
27 |
 |
Brad Pitt
Another great actor that seems to be equally admired by women and
men alike. His groundbreaking performance as Tyler Durden in Fight
Club is one of the coolest of all time.
COOLEST STUFF: Fight Club,
Seven |
|
26 |
 |
Anthony Hopkins
Hannibal Lecter is the coolest badguy, ever, thanks to
Hopkins. His evil educated delivery is chilling beyond
comprehension.
COOLEST STUFF: Silence of the
Lambs |
|
25 |
 |
Gregory Peck
From Atticus Finch to Captain Ahab, Peck's wide range of roles are
impressive. And he even offered to do Chrysler commercials for
free to help prevent layoffs at the company, how cool is that?
COOLEST STUFF: To Kill a
Mockingbird, Moby Dick |
|
24 |
 |
Sean Penn
He was great in Bad Boys as a juvenile offender who gets pushed so
far he beats the crap out of someone with a pillowcase full of
soda cans.
COOLEST STUFF: Fast Times at
Ridgemont High, Bad Boys |
|
23 |
 |
Christopher Walken
Walken's cool is almost inexplicable. Resembling some quirky
reanimated corpse, his deadpan style makes it hard to figure out
if you should laugh or scream. His appearances on Saturday Night
Live typically rank as TV's finest moments.
COOLEST STUFF: The Dead Zone,
King of New York |
|
22 |
 |
Toshiro Mifune
With over 140 films to his name, Toshiro is one of the world's
great actors of all time. His work in Japanese classics like The
Seven Samurai, and Rashomon are fantastic.
COOLEST STUFF: THE SEVEN
SAMURAI |
|
21 |
 |
Errol Flynn
The prototype swashbuckler, Flynn lived life to the fullest,
inspiring the phrase, "In Like Flynn." His dying words were,
"I've had a hell of a lot of fun and I've enjoyed every minute of
it."
COOLEST STUFF: CAPTAIN BLOOD,
ROBIN HOOD |
|
20 |
 |
Jack Nicholson
Despite being a Laker fan, Nicholson reeks of coolness. Nicholson
does more with a smirk than most actors can with their whole
body.
COOLEST STUFF: The Shining,
Batman, Five Easy Pieces |
|
19 |
 |
Samuel L. Jackson
Perhaps the only man worthy enough to take up the Shaft mantle.
Who else could have a wallet, like his character Jules in Pulp
Fiction, that said, "Bad Mother Fucker!" on it?
COOLEST STUFF: Pulp Fiction,
Jungle Fever |
|
18 |
 |
Robert Mitchum
One of Hollywood's original badboys, Mitchum's sleepy eyed looks
and blue collar charm were fantastic. Ran away from home at an
early age, and even spent time on a chain gang before starting his
film career.
COOLEST STUFF: Night of the
Hunter |
|
17 |
 |
Mel Blanc
Without a doubt, Mr. Mel Blanc is the greatest voice actor of all
time. Just listen to how crappy all the Warner Brothers
characters he originally voiced sound now, and you'll know. Every
bit of Bugs Bunny's cocky bastard coolness is thanks to Mel.
COOLEST STUFF: Where do you
start? |
|
16 |
 |
Kirk Douglas
Even though he's made a ton of films, Spartacus alone is enough to
rank him this high on the cool chart. Definitely one of the most
passionate actors ever.
COOLEST STUFF: Spartacus |
|
15 |
 |
John Belushi
His popularizing food fights and toga parties in Animal House are
some of the most significant contributions to American culture.
Easily the best actor to ever appear on Saturday Night Live, and
his genuine love of blues helped bring Jake Blues to life.
COOLEST STUFF: Animal House,
The Blues Brothers |
|
14 |
 |
Charlton Heston
What actor wouldn't kill to scream lines like, "Get your hands off
me, you damn dirty ape!" or "SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!" From Ben
Hur to Moses, Heston's always got to play some of the coolest
roles in film history. Just don't take his guns away.
COOLEST STUFF: Planet of the
Apes |
|
13 |
 |
Robert DeNiro
So cool Bananarama wrote a song about him, and he stayed cool
despite it. Whether he's playing a mobster, or a twisted psycho
(which admittedly is about 95% of his film career), DeNiro
dominates the screen like nobody else. His "You Talking to Me"
speech in Taxi Driver is one of film's finest moments.
COOLEST STUFF: Raging Bull,
Taxi Driver, Cape Fear |
|
12 |
 |
Marlon Brando
It's easy to laugh at the guy when you see his Hutt-esque body
waddling about today, but when you see what a cool badass he was
back in the day in films like On The Waterfront, A Streetcar Named
Desire, and The Wild Ones, you forgive all.
COOLEST STUFF: The
Waterfront, The Wild Ones |
|
11 |
 |
Paul Newman
Not only a great cool actor, but his salad dressing kicks some
serious ass.
COOLEST STUFF: The Hustler,
Cool Hand Luke |
|
10 |
 |
Al Pacino
I love how Pacino can play roles like Michael Corleone with such a
controlled simmering flair, then totally throw his balls to the
wall with an over the top character like Tony Montana. For a good
laugh, see him as a cop going undercover in the "gay underworld"
in CRUISIN'.
COOLEST STUFF: The Godfather
1 & 2, Scarface |
|
9 |
 |
Steve McQueen
Another great TV star turned phenomenal movie star. A true badass
who's love of racing added a great edge to many of his
performances. Check out Bullitt for one of the greatest car
chases of all time.
COOLEST STUFF: The Great
Escape, Bullitt, Papillion |
|
8 |
 |
James Cagney
From gangster to Yankee Doodle Dandy, Cagney was a great actor who
chewed up scenery like nobody else. His closing scene in White
Heat, shouting "Top of the World, Ma!" as fire and gunshots erupt
around him, is pure magic.
COOLEST STUFF: Angels With
Dirty Faces, White Heat |
|
7 |
 |
Clint Eastwood
Quite simply, the best Hollywood tough guy ever, but his work in
films like Dirty Harry and other tough guy roles are fantastic as
well.
COOLEST STUFF: Dirty Harry,
The Unforgiven, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly |
|
6 |
 |
James Dean
With only a few films before his untimely death, his coolness
endears to this day. Perhaps it's the wonderment of what might of
been that adds to his mystique. Lord knows if he were bald and 70
now, we wouldn't be as enamored of him.
COOLEST STUFF: Rebel Without a
Cause |
|
5 |
 |
John Wayne
His inimitable swagger and vocal delivery make Wayne of America's
true legends. Cleary the best cowboy actor of all time. Wayne's
leading role status in 142 films is a record that's been unbeaten
to this day.
COOLEST STUFF: McClintock,
The Green Berets |
|
4 |
 |
The Three Stooges
Moe, Larry, and Curly, are cool in a way that only men can
understand. Their violent physical humor makes every man happy,
while women only shake their heads in disgust. Perhaps no single
thing separates the genders as much as these 3 gods of slapstick.
COOLEST STUFF: Every film they
ever did |
|
3 |
 |
Bruce Lee
The one actor that every man in the world would be scared to
fight. Like his son, he died WAYYYYYY to early with much
potential greatness in store. His charm, looks, and ability to
kick the ass of 50 people at the same time has never been
paralleled.
COOLEST STUFF: Return of the
Dragon |
|
2 |
 |
Humphrey Bogart
So cool, his first name was "Humphrey" and he was still cool! And
his ability to look cool smoking passed on to pot culture (Don't
"Bogart" that joint). And how could you not love a guy who's last
words were, "I should never have switched from scotch to
martinis."
COOLEST STUFF: The Maltese
Falcon, Casablanca |
|
1 |
 |
Sean Connery
There's absolutely no cooler actor in the world, ever! So cool as
James Bond, that most people would STILL prefer him in the role.
His rugged good looks have endeared through the years, as People
even voted him "1989's Sexiest Man Alive". Long after he left
the Bond series behind, he's still commanding top dollar in
Hollywood, earning $20 Million for 1999's entrapment. Never
afraid to show off his machismo, he once told Barbara Walters in
an interview that it was OK to hit a lady if they deserved it, or
to keep them in line.
COOLEST STUFF: James Bond
007, Robin and Marian |
