The most high-profile men of that period, even those from the tail end of it who rose to prominence during and immediately after World War II, have dwindled far faster than the women, and today number only a few.

Mostly he played tenacious guys, like the real-life gladiator-hero that led a slave uprising against Rome in Spartacus.
