7 | Adam Baldwin (born February 27, 1962) is an American actor who's made a name for himself playing military, law enforcement, and general badass types in TV and movies, fitting him as he is a fairly large, strong guy (standing about 6'4). |

9 | Baldwin grew up in UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}} (technically Winnetka, IL) and graduated from New Trier Township High School East, a school that produced many other well-known actors and actresses, including Creator/CharltonHeston, Creator/RockHudson, and Creator/RainnWilson, as well as half of Music/FallOutBoy. He made his first film appearance not long after graduation, in 1980's ''Film/MyBodyguard''. |

11 | From that point, Baldwin found steady work in both film and television, most notably as Sgt. "Animal Mother" in the film ''Film/FullMetalJacket''. He also played roles in ''Series/TheXFiles'', ''Series/StargateSG1'', ''Wyatt Earp'', and ''Film/IndependenceDay''. What really put him into the focus of ''this'' site was his turn as the AntiHero criminal Jayne Cobb in the cult sci-fi series ''Series/{{Firefly}}''. Since then, he's also known for his role as premiere badass John Casey in ''Series/{{Chuck}}''. Baldwin also works as a voice actor, and voiced Hal Jordan, the Silver Age Franchise/GreenLantern on ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', along with fellow ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' stars Creator/NathanFillion, Creator/GinaTorres, and Creator/MorenaBaccarin (they never appeared in the same episode, though.) |
