Bruce wanted to be catapulted to Europe, to make a more badass entrance.

The real reason why the eagles didn't fly the fellowship to Mount Doom.

For real. He got stabbed while drinking at a bar. Did he go to the hospital? Fuck no. Hospitals are for pussies. He kept drinking.
Of course it is hard to argue with Kurt Russell as Jack Burton.

Really no question after the story Peter Jackson told.

Sean Bean. Stabbing him won't prevent him from drinking.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
klaus kinski
Kinski belongs in the "crazy as a loon" category.

Not quite the definition of badass, if you take a look at Herzog's documentary on him.
On the contrary, Herzog was the more badass and adventurous of the two; i'd admit that he can fool you as a badass in Aguirre, though.
herzog got shot with an air rifle during an interview, and continued the interview.

"after his children pleaded with him"
Meh, valid excuse. Just because you're a bad ass doesn't mean you have to be inconsiderate.
Anyway, everyone on this thread is wrong.
Does your favorite bad ass actor do all of his own stunts? Even if that involves jumping off a flying helicopter? Did any of them break a leg on a stunt and went back to filming on the same day? I didn't think so.
Damn, what a cool dude

How the hell did I forget Jackie. His only my favorite actor of all time.
Daniel Day Lewis
That is it. Gary Oldman a close number 2.

I wholefully agree. Gotta give the man some respect, IIRC he even dislocated his cheekbone during one of his films."after his children pleaded with him"

The one and only
Less of a joke compared to 90% of the actors mentioned so far. Chuck is a real life badass, not a movie made one (though many would argue hes a badass on screen as well).
Chuck Noriss is pretty shit.
I think it's an ironic joke. Everyone knows he's a lamer.
That and "are they currently still badass" because there are a lot of dudes in this page that haven't been "badass" in the last couple decades, they've been soft and doughy. Physically and in their roles.
If we're talking purely physical then the only answer is Bruce Lee. There is no other.

Robert Mitchum, The Night of The Hunter
at age 12 his mom sent him to live with his grandparents, but he later went to stay with his older sister after being expelled from school for apparently "scuffling with a principal." later on he ran away from there as well, moving throughout the country on trains and taking up odd jobs such as digging ditches and professional boxing. He was arrested for vagrancy and put on a chain gang, which he escaped at the age of 14 (by his own telling) and returned to live with his grandparents. He almost lost a leg from injuries, met the woman he would one day get married to, and then went on the road again to travel west. After that he did some ghostwriting for an astrologer, worked as a machine operator for lockheed and then decided to try to get some extra work in movies. He got some roles in movies and after making a few, he then got drafted into the army and served for a while before going back into being in movies
He was also stoned all the time, apparently even on movie sets
Toshiro Mifune

Close, same family:
plus he's played a lot of villains in the past.

Came into this thread looking for Jackie Chan. Was not disappointed.
Came in to post this. Until I hear otherwise, he's probably one of the toughest actors at present.
Though of course pre-crisis Jackie Chan trumps pretty much anyone.

There are so many great actors that fit the description, but Clint Eastwood just embodies it.
