  It's hard to think of Carl Weathers and his planet-sized biceps in any other context than that of Predator, but he's not just a oily guy who dies in the jungle, he's also: 

  • Hugh McKraken (American Warship)
  • Sgt. Jericho "Action" Jackson (Action Jackson)
  • Freddie Wiseman (The Comebacks)
  • Adam Beaudreaux (Street Justice)
  • Apollo Creed (The Rocky Series)

  For someone reason, Mickey Rourke is usually booked to play characters with Eastern European names, or names no human would ever have in real life. Maybe because he was a handsome sex prince who decided to destroy his face by becoming a professional boxer? 

  • Marv (Sin City)
  • Ivan Vanko (Iron Man 2)
  • Harley Davidson (Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man)
  • Armand "Blackbird" Degas (Killshot)

  • King Hyperion (Immortals)
  • Tool (The Expendables)
  • Bruiser Stone (The Rainmaker)
  • Stavros (Double Team)

  Vin Diesel, like Sly Stallone, has a habit of writing his own parts (or at least producing them), so of course his characters have the most butch names in modern Hollywood. Which would you prefer to bench press a city bus?

  • Xander Cage (xXx Series)
  • Dominic Toretto (The Fast and Furious Series)
  • Shane Wolfe (The Pacifier)
  • Taylor Reese (Knockaround Guys)
  • Chris Varick (Boiler Room)

  The '80s basically belonged to Kurt Russell and his butch character names, which is crazy, because he seems like the nicest dad at softball practice. If you don't know any of these characters, you'll be in big trouble in little Internet: 

  • Grey Smoke (Laredo)
  • Snake Plissken (Escape from NY/Escape from LA)
  • RJ MacReady (The Thing)

  The most old school of old school tough guys. Lee Marvin definitely comes from a time before screenwriters felt they should add nuance to a character's name. Which one of these nombres do you prefer?

  • Col. Harry Wargrave (Avalanche Express)
  • Colonel Flynn O'Flynn (Shout at the Devil)
  • Sam Longwood (The Great Scout & Cathouse Thursday)
  • The Killer (A Life in the Balance)

  Danny Trejo has been in about 350 movies and every single one of his characters is named something like "Gun Face Charlie," so it's pointless to count them all down, but these are the toughest on his IMDB: 

  • Johnny Sixtoes (Inferno)
  • Razor Charlie (From Dusk Till Dawn series)
  • Johnny-23 (Con Air)
  • Machete (Machete)
  • El Patron (Shuang Dao)
