Meeting a girl’s dad is always frightening. He could be a wig-wearing accountant at 5-foot-6, plays the oboe and I’d still be a little taken back. However, that doesn’t even come close to being as intimidating as meeting one of these men on the other side of the door.

9. Mel Gibson

Whether he is acting in a movie or just being himself, this guy is crazy. A man who is even portrayed as terrifying in cartoons (his numerous appearances in “Southpark” and “Family Guy”) is a man whose daughter I would stay away from.

8. Dwight Schrute

Between being a purple belt in Goju-Ryu Karate and a self-proclaimed master of surveillance, he has an impressive skill set. Pair that up with being easily irritated and unpredictable, and you get…well you get Volunteer Assistant Fire Deputy Dwight Schrute.

7. Vin Diesel

Between shooting what seems like the 29th installment of the “Fast and Furious” series and at least one or two bad action movies a year, this guy stays pretty busy. With that said, he could still find time to kick your ass before taking his daughter out to the movies.

6. Bruce Willis

C’mon guys, have you seen “Die Hard”? No not the most recent ones, the original. If he can single handedly take down two-dozen European terrorists, he probably eats 19-year-old guys like you for breakfast.

5. Ron Swanson

The man who refuses to eat a salad, and instead eats roughly three steaks a day is not man to be taken lightly. This man literally hates everything, so it’d be pretty tough to get on his good side. If you don’t watch out, you could be on the menu!

4. Jason Stathem

“Crank”, “Chaos”, “Revolver”, and “Collateral” are just a few of the movies he’s been in over the years. Have I seen the movies? No, but based on the intimidating one word titles I’d assume it is 90 minutes of him killing bad guys and taking names. He has even made some appearances in the latest “Fast and Furious” movies. If you aren’t careful, him and Vin Diesel will chase you down.

3. Elliot Stabler

I don’t really know where to start with Elliot. He deals with the worst of the worst criminals with New York’s Special Victims Unit and is known for not always going by the book. Even if you aren’t a suspect in some heinous crime, I am sure he will have no problem booking you.

2. Tommy Lee Jones

This guy just looks scary. From his scarred faces to his various creeping roles in his long film career. Whether killing aliens with Will Smith or playing Two-Face in one of the worst Batman movies ever produced, he means business. He is especially good at tracking down those who cross him (“Fugitive”, “No Country for Old Men”). If Harrison Ford and Javier Bardem have trouble evading Lee Jones, so will you.

1. Jack Bauer

Jack Bauer stops terrorist threats like it is nothing, and deals with the biggest scum on the earth. Having seen the amount of torture this man is able withstand, and also dish out, stay very far away from Kim Bauer.
