> Sean Connery was a cool tough guy 20 years ago.

I don't know. I wouldn't want to mess with his "The Rock" or "Entrapment" characters.

> But where are Vinnie Jones, Vin Deisel, Jean-Claude Van Damme or John Travolta?

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.

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.
