James Gregory, Barney Miller, The Manchurian Candidate. Good choice.

Does anyone remember Warren Oates, he coined the phrase, "I'm too old for this shit". He was also in In The Heat of The Night, Two Lane Flat-Top and The Wild Bunch.

Clint Eastwood is a badass but he'd have a tough time against Gene Hackman, John Wayne and Burt Lancaster.

Frank Sinatra and Montgomery Clift's drinking binges on the set of From Here to Eternity are legendary. Burt Lancaster rarely drank, they brought him along for protection.

agree with some of the picks and wanted to add ...

- Michael Ironside, has the look and the voice.
- John Malkovich - just because he’s John Malkovich

+1 on Rutger Hauer

Although they did more than just "tough guy" roles, other names that come to mind are Jean Reno, Samuel Jackson, Dolph Lundgren, Denzel Washington, Christopher Walken.
