Michael Fucking Ironside. Just think about his name. IRONSIDE. Holy shit, I wish I was born with a surname like that. Dude was an arm wrestler turned actor from memory, and he got typecast pretty early as the villain. My favorite role for him was as Sam Fisher in the splinter cell series though, dat fucking voice.

Guy has appeared in over 200 feature films and is one of the most iconic bad ass in Yakuza/Cop films.

Of the old actors Clint Eastwood, and he does not act as one, he just is.
Some of the more recent badass actors in my opinion are: Tom Hardy, Mark Strong ..also Hugh Jackman is seriously badass if you give him proper role (only x1 and x2 wolverine so far).

some facts:
Two years before Brando declined his Oscar for Best Actor in The Godfather (1972), he'd applied to the Academy to replace the one he'd won for On the Waterfront (1954), which had been stolen. Prior to its theft, Brando had been using the Oscar as a doorstop.

Expelled from high school for riding a motorcycle through the halls.

He reputedly suggested that his cameo role as Jor-El in Superman (1978) be done by him in voiceover only, with the character's image onscreen being a glowing, levitating green bagel. Unsure if Brando was joking or not, the film's producers formally rejected the suggestion.

His signature was considered so valuable to collectors, that many personal checks he wrote were never cashed because his signature was usually worth more than the amount on the check.

Appeared on the front sleeve of The Beatles' classic album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

During Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) costumer James Taylor claimed that Brando split the seat on 52 pairs of pants during the shooting of the film, necessitating that stretch fabric be sewn into his replacement duds. He split those, too. Ice cream was the culprit.

Refused to wear pants on the set of The Score, so all his scenes had to be filmed from the waist up.

Eastwood, Daniel Day Lewis, Charles Bronson, Steve McQueen, Samuel L Jackson etc are all good.

Not a most badass actor candidate, but Bryan Cranston recently got my attention.
