Who's the coolest veteran actor?
Even though they may not be as young as they used to be, these guys are still great to watch in movies today. Infact, I'd probably rather see one of their films over those of most of the young stars that rise and fall every month. It's always great when an older, wiser guy, who still possesses the charisma of another age, exhibits his wit and wisdom among those of a younger generation. And let's face it: most of those guys are gone.
But out of these choices, who's the coolest? |

Like a fine wine, these men just keep getting better with age. This wasn't an easy choice but I went with Jack Nicholson.

I couldnt decide between Nicholson and Eastwood
i think when they were both in their prime Nicholson was far better, but Eastwood has distinguished himself as an exceptional director |

Anybody but Eastwood.
I'll go with Newman or Nicholson. But Newman gets the edge because he sells salad dressing. Come on people, it's salad dressing!! You can't beat that. Plus, I just can't think of Jack as a veteran actor for some reason. |

I voted for Jack Nicholson, but would have given Robert De Niro my vote had he been listed.

De Niro and Walken are both 61, the requirements here were to be at least 65
most of the rest of these guys are 70 or older |
