Kurt Russell

Everyone is always talking about Jodie Foster, and justifiably: she's a child actress who avoided all the trappings and pitfalls of life. Yeah, it's impressive, but Kurt Russell started out just as young, and has made a ton more movies. He also got his start at a young age in Disney movies. Great timeless movies like The Barefoot Executive and The Strongest Man in the World.

In the early 80s he shed his wholesome image in The Thing, and then Escape From New York. He's still kicking ass on the screen, most recently in the underappreciated, in my opinion, Death Proof and Sky High, which is a very solid little superhero movie. Yeah it's a Disney family movie, but it's pretty funny and it also has Bruce Campbell, Kevin McDonald and Dave Foley from K.I.T.H and Linda (still hotter than shit) Carter and Cloris (also still hotter than shit) Leachman....Yeah.

So in summary Kurt Russell is pretty baddass.
