SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

Okay you can hang with us for mentioning Steve McQueen. He was coolest in Magnificent Seven.
Yet no one touches cool like Bogart. Bogart was cool for 30 years straight. Dean was cool but didn't have enough work though what little he did was awesome.
Originally posted by Steve is this cool, or tough?
becuase I think of John Wayne as a tough guy, not really a joe cool kinda guy.
Bogart was cool, but I honestly haven't seen too many of his movies.
See, that's the point. The most imitated actor of all time is Humphrey Bogart. From Jack Nicholson to Harrison Ford on down the line, everybody wants to be Bogie. Yet if you've not seen Bogie's films you wouldn't see how so many actors imitate his moves, looks, 5 O'Clock shadow, cigarette smoking ( don't Bogart that joint comes from the way Bogart used to hold a cigarette forever while dishing out a line or contemplating something )
For the past 50 years guys have been imitating Bogart and then guys imitate the guys who imitate Bogart ad infinitum.
That's why I say Bogart is the coolest. Even my other favorites Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson imitated Bogart to a degree.

James Stewart is another original.
Bogart, Cooper, Stewart, and of course Cagney all broke the mold. Guys after them imitated them and so on and so on.
It's unusual to get a real original performer nowadays. Same with actresses. They're imitating people imitating Kathrine Hepburn, Audrie Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe.
That's why you've gotta go back to the classics to see the originals do their stuff. It's not to say there aren't great actors nowadays because there are. Yet acting is about convincing the audience the perfomance is real and not contrived. If I'm watching a movie or tv show or radio drama and I KNOW I'm watching a movie, tv show or radio drama then the acting failed.

Yeah but a lot of classics fail that test. Cagney was good for his era...so were all those guys...but there was a certain style to acting then that you look at it now some of it's quite cheesy.
I don't know if it was just the writing or what....but I love the classics however I see this now.

Tons of other leading men that are bad-asses, but "cool" is a very specific thing.
I think Pacino is one of the greatest actors of all time but I don't think any king of cool would have a facelift or wear a toupee.
that's gay behaviour.
