Alright if you could pick an actor who's "on-screen" role personifies what the ideal man should look and act like ...who would it be?

Who has the best on-screen look, style, personality and game?

James bond is too obvious. He doesn't count.

Leo. He's banged half of Hollywood, and all of his movie characters are very different, showing his ability to adapt. Or, am I supposed to be picking a specific fictional character here?

Fictional character.

For me I'd say Danny Ocean(George Clooney) in Oceans's 11.

Rhett Butler. At least in this clip.






There's alphas and then there's players. One gets his woman by dominating all the other men and taking her as his prize. The other prefers a life of leisure, and seduces as he finds convenient. I prefer the second kind.

The player doesn't accomplish much to get what he wants, which is pussy. The alpha wants pussy, but also power and wealth in equal measure. And they each do what they need to get what they want.

I like to compete, but not when it comes to women. If a woman is entertaining multiple suitors, I'll just leave.

That was a great clip. Really made me laugh. You know it's really funny to deny a woman a kiss or sex when she really wants it. It feeds into their insecurities.

David Duchovny as Hank Moody. No doubt!

Rhett Butler is a great example of what an ideal man should act like.

Especially in the end when he decides to leave Scarlett, he doesn't make a big scene or snaps at her, he just keeps his cool and walks.

Rhett leaves as the better person between the two, and Scarlett is left thinking about how to get him back while shedding tears.

Great example for when a woman is acting really rude to you. Just be indifferent and stop pursuing her, there are other women out there.

Nice

This. Definitely.

Al Pacino in Carlito's Way: wise, street smart, cool-as-fuck, but still with balls of steel.

Just saw this clip. Hmm, a TV show worth watching.

Indiana Jones.

Dude's a professor, obviously smart as hell, yet he's not afraid to get into real adventures & danger. Plus he doesn't take any shit from women.

Robert Downey Jr. Insane charisma, adaptability, and he managed to come back from a very low point (after drugs, bankrupcy, and was it divorce too?). In spite of all that he has now, I haven't heard of him being a douche either. He is a testament to the male possibilities and power to reinvent yourself with hard work, something that is not available to women.

Paul Walker?

The most influential male in American cinema was Marlon Brando. Check out The Wild One . Everyone copied him, including James Dean.

Which role and movie?

My avatar (Jason Statham & every part he plays) says it all. That, or Tyler Durden.

All are male actors I admire in their acting abilities too (except Baio):

Benicio Del Toro for don't give a fuck attitude and despite his weathered look he still bangs left and right. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I might have the interviews with this guy mixed up) When he was asked about how he handles women who might not be into his looks he answered "Before I was ever in high school, I had dark circles under my eyes. The rumor was I was a junkie. I have dark circles under my eyes, deal with it."

That's right, deal with it bitches. Gave me inspiration to not let my race/looks be a hurdle.

Johnny Depp has an artist/eccentric thing going for him found in his look, style, persona, and the roles he plays.

Scott Baio - not for acting but for banging starlets in their primes.

Robert DeNiro / Jean Reno - silent but dangerous personas

Marlon Brando - for being principled and not giving a rat's ass about the status quo BS
(see Academy Awards 1973)

George Clooney for his pure class and because he swore never to marry or have kids. Leo has become his protege in that regards.

Steve McQueen in "Bullitt".

Yeah that's how I feel. I like his character in Ocean's 11. He's kind of above it and does what he wants. Gets the money and the girl even after she says it's over. He's very smooth, smart and classy.

Idriss Elba in a lot of things, though particularly as Stringer Bell ("The Wire"). That's very close to what I want to be in terms of style and even grooming (I've always wanted a goatee like that).











He's good in Obsessed as well, though in more of a smooth high-end business guy kind of way (less thuggin).

Matthew McConaughey is pretty slick. His roles in "How to lose a guy in 10 days" and "Ghosts of girlfriends past" (fully realizing I am admitting to watching these films...), at least until the midway point of the movie when he gets sappy and the story has to become female friendly. Also Gerard Butler in "The Ugly Truth" (again, the beginning part of the film) is a pretty good example, the feminist lead character hates it, and eventually falls for it.
