I say Clint Eastwood. The guy is amazing imho.

Just finished watching "In the Line Of Fire" pretty good movie and Clint pulled off another great role at 63 years of age. I really liked him in "Unforgiven" too.

I will really miss him when he passes on.

Connery, must be in his mid seventies now...

Does Harrison Ford count as old? If so, him.

If not, Sean Connery.

Sean Connery

Clint is just plain ugly

Clint is about 73 now, but I never would consider Connery very cool. Eastwood has cool in spades imo.

Of course, got to respect the lady's view

I just think Clint Eastwood has consistantly had a vibe about him that realy has not changed with age.

If you like Clint, check out "Bloodwork".

Eastwood and Connery have different acting styles but both definitely have the "Cool Factor".

My pick would be Robert Duval.

I second that emotion, although Clint does have a certain "aura" about him....Gunny Highway...the High Plains Drifter....Josey Wales...Harry Callahan

No actor could have pulled off those roles quite like Clint

Connery, but Duval isnt bad either.

Eastwood, he's the man. Duvall ain't far behind. Connery's a banana.

Nick Nolte (he's over 60...I guess that qualifies)

Maniac · « **Reply #12 on:** May 27, 2004, 07:20:08 AM »

I cant stand Clint actually. He should retire...

Robert Duval and Sean Connory is top notch...

Jack Nicholson

Paul Newman, if for no other reason than the fact that he's a big-time race car driver/team owner.
