tough guy, without resorting to rudeness or boorishness (his character preferred Mozart and was an avid cook); and Richard Burton in "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold," was hard, ruthless, but feeling.
Kirk Douglas, though I'm not much of a fan, was also "a man" in "Paths of Glory," and "Spartacus."
Lastly, Nicholson in "Chinatown" was brave AND humorous; in "The Passenger," he was resolute for its sake alone---the perfect solution for modern man.
