Last night Sue and I talked about actors with grit. We were noting the similarities between Moonlighting and Castle and I was wondering aloud if Nathan Fillion could be the next Bruce Willis. We need young actors that aren't pretty boys but guys and gals with true grit.So we tried to think of actors (and actresses) today that could be defined as

Nathan Fillion is pretty good....

...Adam Baldwin ain't half-bad either.

How in the world did I miss Adam Baldwin? Great catch!

I think he's great in Chuck.

You might could add...

...Vin Deisel to the list, although personally I think he'll never be anything but a Typecast.

The voice alone scores him several points on the grit scale...

Two ladies that pop to mind..

Holly Hunter.. Saving Grace.
Kathleen Turner.. Pretty much anything.

Definitely for Holly; I'm on the fence with Kathleen Turner but I can see why you'd see her as such.

Keifer Sutherland (and his father Donald, too).

He's almost too pretty but I give you that he's got the attitude. Good one!

Daniel Craig. I know he's Bond, but in the two movies he's done as Bond I have thought that he was too gritty and not polished enough to be a good Bond.

Jason Statham.

I can see it for both. Daniel is a very gritty Bond.
