Lee Van Cleef scared the shit of me when I was 13 years old.

I have to disagree with Mr. Thornhill. Steve McQueen was always a good guy, even when he played an edgy or over the line character he was still a good guy. For the younger crowd think Mel Gibson, but McQueen was one of the truly great actors.
Vin Diesel in Knockaround Guys:
"500 fights, that's the number I figured when I was a kid. 500 street fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate tough guy. You need them for experience. To develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then, after, you realize that's what you are."

Danny Trejo is really a bad ass. He turned a life of serious crime and gang involvement into a movie career as a character actor.
Actors: Robert Deniro in Cape Fear
Gary Oldman is the consumate bad guy
Denzel Washington in training day was a good bad guy.
Jamie Foxx playing Stanley "Tookie" Williams in redemption

I'm sure the ladies are dripping wet by now. Women love psychopaths.
Fair enough.
Firstly, McQueen was indeed one of the great actors. Should have won Oscars for both "The Sand Pebbles" and "Papillon".
In my estimation, the thread is about a "Bad Ass" as opposed to straight out "Villain". So, the ever-cool McQueen is up there with Harry Callahan, Super Fly and Jules Winnfield (Sam Jackson in "Pulp Fiction).
All Cool.
All Edgy.
All on the 'good guy' (although marginally) side of the fence.
[size=+2]All Bad Asssssssss!![/size]
If we want to do "Villains", there's plenty of those as well!!
