Stereotypes How many real life "hard man" archetypes have you known ?
A Ray Winstone type.
Like the typical working poor lad who had a military dad and rough uncles. That played a rough sport (rugby, football) at a high level and decided to go into an occupation that monetized this trait (cop, bodyguard, soldier, bouncer/doorman, labourer, combat athlete, personal trainer, emergency responder or eventually actor lol).
