definitely!

a good list; personally, i'd drop Vader, Wayne and Wesley, and add three
others.

i'd add Lee van Cleef, as he's by far the hardest western actor IMNERHO.
John Wayne? John Wayne can do my laundry, but he'd best keep off the
battlefield. Clint Eastwood, though - definitely. also, if you take Lee,
you can have him as his character from 'It Came From Outer Space', which
would sow confusion amongst the enemy (you'd be able to get two people
for
one name on the team sheet), as both he and Keanu Reeve's character from
'The Matrix' are called Tom Anderson ...

also, add Vinnie Jones; a famously hard footballer, and now a famously
hard character actor ('Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels').
