What about Mel Gibson in Mad Max or Lethal Weapon?

But I voted for Bruce Willis out of the poll
 
Er, well he is famous for being Bond. The first, best & most influential cinematic action hero!!

Mttrebus you ignorant slut! Have you forgotten Charlton "Ben Hur" Heston?

What about John "Three Pound Cock" Wayne?

But they didn't create an established template for what we now know as the modern action hero/movie. The early Bond films did this, in conjunction with the anti-hero figure made popular by the spaghetti western genre.
 
Then you would have to throw Humphrey Bogart into the mix if you're discussing anti-heroes. And I see your point about the Duke and Moses.

Ban-hur is a big mess of a movie IMO and Charlton "From my cold dead hands" Heston has never been a good actor.

You could say the same about Wayne, but he had presence and probably balls the size of oranges. Which goes a long way :D.
