Actors aren't troped, especially not with tropes like this one. Delete all such entries.

Sticking problematic entries with actor vs character tropes here:
- The Avengers (1998). Sir August's (Sean Connery) lascivious gloating over a captured Emma Peel (Uma Thurman). Dude, you're 40 years older than her.
- Connery seems to be quite good at playing this sort of character. In both Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Entrapment, he falls for a much younger woman. In Last Crusade, that woman is even younger than his son.
- In The Spy Who Loved Me, Karl Stromberg (Curt Jurgens) takes mild advantage of a helpless Anya (Barbara Bach) while she's strapped to a couch. When the movie was released in 1977 Jurgens was 62 and Ms. Bach was 30.

I think it would be useful to put in some reference to how in manga/anime these guys are often bleeding from the nose.
In some of the Film and such examples, there seems to be some confused overlap between the actors and the characters they play. Maybe a line should be drawn between the character who is supposed to be a Dirty Old Man, and the actor, who may not be anything like the part he's playing. Also, calling real people (the actors) that in real life by drawing attention to their real ages/age gaps, rather than the characters, is kind of rude.
