Stewart was terrifying when he needed to be, and very physical too. It's kinda amazing how versatile he was. About the only thing he couldn't do was suave crooner, but Cary Grant had that in the bag anyway.

Jackie Chan. Broke most bones in his body doing the most badass of stunts in film history

That guy is such a pathological liar that it's funny

Trejo's pretty hard if I recall. He's just a shitty actor

Leo Gordon. Before getting into acting, he did a stretch in San Quentin for armed robbery, getting shot during the initial arrest in the process! Director Don Siegel called him "the scariest man I ever met." He even put John Wayne in his place during the filming of Hondo,demonstrating his first-hand knowledge of getting shot.

Pretty much any two bit minority actor who started off as a generic tough guy in his career, got their break from being out of jail, working as a boucer/bodyguard and then getting cast

Charles Bronson was once the most popular star in the entire world (before being displaced by Burt Reynolds).
But if you want another badass, I'd be likely to nominate Omar Shariff, who gambled away all his huge star salary and huge endorsement deals (he had a popular cigarette brand named after him, back when people actually smoked) in Monaco casinos just for the fuck of it.

Tom Neal. Had a short temper that got him into trouble now and then with the law; gave a smashed cheekbone and crippling brain concussion to fellow actor Franchot Tone for cucking him with his wife, Barbara Peyton. later did a stretch for involuntary manslaughter, involving his second wife.
Donnie from The Wire
also the girl, I forgot her name
The guy who played Mr. Blue in Reservoir Dogs was convicted of bank robbery, drug dealing, extortion, armed robbery, and forgery before becoming a crime fiction writer.

No comment.
Not exactly action star, but he played manly alpha roles and he was this in real life too.

He was just a loser that couldn't handle his bevvy, like most english tbf.
I grew up on Bronson movies, that guy is fuckin awesome. Anyway Christopher Lee was some kind of commando operator in WWII.
