Most macho TV / movie star? I nominate Richard Boone.

Most macho TV / movie star? I nominate Richard Boone.
John Wayne, Claude Akins, Chuck Connors, Richard Boone, Clark Gable, Sean Connery, Daniel Craig, so many more. I'm going to nominate Richard Boone.
As you can tell by my short list, I must be old considering the names.
There are surely more modern stars. Russell Crowe?

Yes, it's a comedy.
