I think Audie Murphy has to be at the very top for his performance in to Hell and Back, based on a true story where he played an American soldier practically winning the war by himself.......................... He was the soilder!
From Wiki.................
Audie**Murphy (June 20, 1926 (?) May 28, 1971)[2] was the most decorated American soldier of World War II. He served in the European Theater. He later became an actor, appearing in 39 American films,[3] and also found some success as a country music composer.
In 27 months of combat action, Murphy became the most highly decorated United States soldier of World War II.[2][3] He received the Medal of Honor, the U.S. military's highest award for valor, along with 32 additional U.S. and foreign medals and citations,[2][3][4] including five from France and one from Belgium.[1][2][5]
Murphy's successful movie career included the extremely popular To Hell and Back (1955), which was based on his book of the same name (1949).[3] He also starred in an impressive 39 Hollywood films.[3] He died in a plane crash in 1971 and was interred, with full military honors, in Arlington National Cemetery.[3] Audie Murphy's grave site is the second-most visited grave at Arlington, after that of President John F. Kennedy.[1][5]

Neville Brand was not far behind Murphy and he sure looked a lot meaner than Audie,virtually all his roles were bad guys.

Audie was the bravest, no doubt about that.
But the hardest was Richard Egan.
But the hardest was Richard Egan.
Hi Micchell (C) I am a fan of Richard Egan. 300 Spartans was a great hard man role, but playing Elvis Presley's older brother in LMT, and Pollyanna, take the edge off of the hard man image for me
anybody remember don henderson...english actor from stratford..played bulman...
Hi Foxy, just seen your post. I've read a fair bit about Egan. He used to train soldiers in unarmed combat so he must have been mega tough.
Good call on Bindon, nasty piece of work, but according to George Swewll he had the fastest right hand he ever saw.

yeah i remember him
Bruce Lee was not an actor who took up martial arts so he - and others who only got into films due to hardman reputations - should not count shouldn't count imo
Robert Mitchum and Marlon Brando were notorius for breaking people's jaws etc

Can't believe nobody has said.. the hardest of them all .. LEE MARVIN
tobermory, did not realise there were rules,are you related to L. Walsh by any chance
Van Damme chased S.Segal halfway across town to have a scrap after Stallone`s party.
Charles Bronson was hard.
Charles Bronson was hard.
Yeah Lee Marvin. Right hard ** also awarded a purple heart for his actions in ww2 where he was shot.
Ditto on Marvin...Nobody messed with Marvin....EVER..Fact
Sean Connery once decked a mafia gangster, because he insulted a lady in Connery's company, many bystanders feared for Connery's life, but he still lives.
^^^^ Steven Seagal broke Connerys wrist while training him for a film.
Jack Palance has already been mentioned on this thread,but just because of his looks.In fact,he was renowed in Hollywood for his physical strength.
Palance at an award ceremony supposedly did 10 one armed press ups while in his mid seventies. In my 20's and I couldnt even do one.
Palance was a pro.heavyweight boxer in the early 1940's.

so if i have read that audie murphy profile correctly, he amassed all those medals and was still only 19 when the war finished? Or did he go on to win others in korea or vietnam ?
Audie Murphy, below is just one of the many incredibly brave actions he undertook. BEATS 10 F**KING PRESS UPS ANY DAY
Medal of Honor citation
The official U.S. Army citation for Audie Murphy's Medal of Honor reads:[1][9]
Rank and organization: Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, Company B 15th Infantry, 3rd Infantry Division.
Place and date: Near Holtzwihr France, January 26, 1945.
Entered service at: Dallas, Texas. Birth: Hunt County, near Kingston, Texas, G.O. No. 65, August 9, 1944.
Citation: Second Lt. Murphy commanded Company B, which was attacked by six tanks and waves of infantry. 2d Lt. Murphy ordered his men to withdraw to a prepared position in a woods, while he remained forward at his command post and continued to give fire directions to the artillery by telephone. Behind him, to his right, one of our tank destroyers received a direct hit and began to burn. Its crew withdrew to the woods. 2d Lt. Murphy continued to direct artillery fire, which killed large numbers of the advancing enemy infantry. With the enemy tanks abreast of his position, 2d Lt. Murphy climbed on the burning tank destroyer, which was in danger of blowing up at any moment, and employed its .50 caliber machine gun against the enemy. He was alone and exposed to German fire from three sides, but his deadly fire killed dozens of Germans and caused their infantry attack to waver. The enemy tanks, losing infantry support, began to fall back. For an hour the Germans tried every available weapon to eliminate 2d Lt. Murphy, but he continued to hold his position and wiped out a squad that was trying to creep up unnoticed on his right flank. Germans reached as close as 10 yards, only to be mowed down by his fire. He received a leg wound, but ignored it and continued his single-handed fight until his ammunition was exhausted. He then made his way back to his company, refused medical attention, and organized the company in a counterattack, which forced the Germans to withdraw. His directing of artillery fire wiped out many of the enemy; he killed or wounded about 50. 2d Lt. Murphy's indomitable courage and his refusal to give an inch of ground saved his company from possible encirclement and destruction, and enabled it to hold the woods which had been the enemy's objective.[1][9]

crescit, to Hell and Back, based on his book is one great film! imo
Murphy was certainly the bravest actor but if you were in a dark alley with a couple of unsavoury characters and it was about to kick off who would you want by your side? a 5,5 Murphy or a 6,2 Marvin or 6,4 Palance. Certainly wouldnt be Audie Murphy.
Fair enough Roquebrune, define hard in the context of this thread, Is Bruce (""..My children forbid me from flying"... after911) Willis hard!
Shrewd_dude, good point, but if you were with Audie he would not have let go into the alley, smiley.
Roquebrune, you are obviously struggling.......

Murphy was brave but he did use a tank.
Can the people mentioned on here have weapons?
If so, Judi Dench with a bazooka.

brodie, lol good one ,..........but no tank this time............Following its participation in the Italian campaign, the 3rd Division landed in Southern France[5] on August 15, 1944 as part of Operation Anvil-Dragoon.[5] Shortly thereafter, Murphy's best friend, Lattie Tipton (referred to as "Brandon" in Murphy's book To Hell and Back), was killed by a German soldier in a machine gun nest who was feigning surrender.[1] Murphy went into a rage,[1] and single-handedly wiped out the German machine gun crew which had just killed his friend.[1] He then used the German machine gun and grenades to destroy several other nearby enemy positions.[1] For this act, Murphy received the Distinguished Service Cross[1] (second only to the Medal of Honor). During seven weeks of fighting in that campaign in France, Murphy's division suffered 4,500 casualties.[5]
Bruce Willis play hard men but there is nothing really to suggest he is hard. Suppose you could define it as who you think would be the best in a fight. Would fancy Murphy to take alot of the current acting 'hard-men' who just play hard men. But against other guys who were also war hero's like Marvin and Palance you would have to fancy them.
Roquebrune, Oh dear,Oh,dear, try this..Any resemblance between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.............................. alternatively you could lie down in a darkened room for a while. Hope this helps.
Gotta go guys thanks for the fun, laters!
P.S, Roquebrune I like you. You remind me of myself when I was young and stupid.

Shrewd_dude, hard to disagree with that. I'm off out for a while,cheers
Looks like a two horse race.No one can detract from what Murphy achieved,certainly not me.At the end of the day though,I think most posters here know what "Hard" means.
Roquebrune, will you leave me alone, I have to go now.!!!!, you are too hard for me!!. ...........good fun mate enjoyed, talking to you, cheers
I have been into submission so I am reverting to my second choice........

Palance was a pro.heavyweight boxer in the early 1940's.
This was to hype-up Palances career notes.
I asked imdb to correct that some time ago, it looks like they haven't.
Jack only had one fight as a 'pro' and lost it on points to Joe Baksi.
He had 60 fights, lost 9, and only fought a few 'names'
He beat Lee Savoid just once in their 3 fights, lost to Jersey Joe Walcott 6 years before Joe became champ, and in 1948 he was stopped by Ezzard Charles.
The only british names he beat were Freddie Mills (light heavy) in 1946 and Bruce Woodcock 1947, both fights were at the Harringay Arena in London.
Baksi never got a world title shot as he was far from world class.

I've seen Murphy in films, he didn't look that big.
Actors are actors, but Seagal is a bona-fide martial artist.
Iirc, a director made a bet with somebody that he could make Seagal a star, which he did.
At 6 feet 5 and with a plethora of martial arts skills at hand, Murphy, along with his bravery gongs, ends up in a dumpster.

Gotta be Sylvester Stallone, innit?
[i]Fight scenes in Sylvester Stallone's new movie were so realistic that he broke his neck during filming, the actor says in a magazine interview.
The 63-year-old said a fight scene with the wrestling star Stone Cold Steve Austin became so "vicious" that he needed an operation for a hairline fracture and had a metal plate inserted in his neck.
Stallone, a writer and director on the film, told this month's FHM Magazine: "Man, it was seven guys, kicking each other's ass, one guy tougher than the next

wasnt really meaning Seagal obviously Charlie when I said 'alot' more like guys like Bruce Willis, Daniel Craig and Matt Damon action hero types.
But Palance was still a heavyweight boxer or are you saying he wasnt?

If you saw 'First Blood', and the leap from the cliffs onto the trees, Stallone did that instead of a stuntman, and he broke his ribs.
i would hazard a guess that certain actors were hard in real life, or certainly not to be trifled with:
