I have always liked Robert Mitchum. Aloof, cool and detached. Robert Ryan is a second with his brooding nature. | ||

Mitchum and Bogart. It is a cliche, but they stand the test of time. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

always been a Bogart fan. I've collected a copy of almost every film he ever made. I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

Got "In a Lonely Place". 1950? IMO, Bogart's best. Super direction - Nicholas Ray. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

Without cheating, I’ll add Sidney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre & Edward G. Cheating adds these folks. https://www.imdb.com/list/ls050214076/ | |||

Well, if you have to 'cheat' to answer a question about a favorite of yours, they're not really a favorite, are they? | |||

Bogart, hands down. Although I'd give Fred MacMurray an honorable mention for Double Indemnity since he played against type so well. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||

Rule #1: Use enough gun |
First name I thought of, even before opening the thread. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. Luke 11:21 "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." -- George W. Bush | |||

Lawrence Tierney. One of the great bad guys. He was that way in real life as well. Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot little puppies. Gene Hill | |||

I totally agree - when someone thinks of film noir actors, Robert Mitchum has to be at the top of the list. | |||

My now departed Mother in law once quietly told me in confidence that she always had the hots for Robert Mitchum...... Not a film noir but the final scene of the longest day is one of his best moments on film. My Native American Name: "Runs with Scissors" | |||

John Garfield. Always adept at playing a blue collar guy caught up in bigger world he did not fully understand. Underappreciated. | |||

You almost forgot Robert Montgomery. Here he is, opposite actress Audrey Totter.  __________________________ "We're after men - and I wish to God I was with them. The next time you make a mistake, I'm going to ride off and let you die." - Deke Thornton, - The Wild Bunch | |||
