  I don’t watch House, but from what I’ve seen Dr. House does have some angry swagger.

  Okay, I’ve added Michael Weston, because he’s chock full of swagger. I’ve never seen Human Target, and Michael Scott? Would we call that swagger? Last time I checked, Billy Coffey was not a tv character, although plans for an action figure are in the works…

  Now, see–I like Neal Caffrey, but he’s a little too clean cut to meet my definition of swagger. Although, I do see your point. I would agree that Callen has swagger.

Charles Ingalls. Yeah, I am old school. What’s wrong with a hardworking, Christian man in the swagger round-up?

For me there are two types of swaggering men. One swaggers cause he’s been kicked in the hind-quarters one too many times (most likely due to pompousness, arrogance, and the like. The other type swaggers cause he spent the day in a saddle. Hence my next selection.

John Wayne. Yes, yes, I have TV evidence. ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000078/filmoseries )

(ps, I don’t even know any of those characters listed in your post, except for mister Jack. He existed before I cut the TV umbilical line.)

What exactly is the Katdish def. of swagger, cause the dictionary definitions don’t paint a pretty picture.

  Swagger is sort of hard to define. A certain air of confidence and humility at the same time. I would definitely say Charles Ingalls had swagger.

And Mike Rowe has swagger. His voice even has it on Deadliest Catch.

  Yes. I started out doing a general swagger category, but when you get into movies and everything else, that’s a pretty big list. I was going to put Jethro Gibbs on the list, and Ziva, too. If a woman can have swagger, she’s got it.

        I know who Jack B. is because Billy mentioned him some time ago and I watched part of a show to see what all the jazz was about (before we tossed the boob-tube).
        
        Sandra and Candy, I reckon we are a self-declared loser team of three. And that’s okay by me. I bet Charles and Sully would think we are grande.

I can’t believe some of these choices, either. Might as well say Yogi Bear.

And yes it’s not easily definable – but you definitely know it when you see it!!

Is it just a coincidence, or is “easy on the eyes” a requirement for swagger?

Either way, I want to add Jim from The Office. I am not ashamed of my dorky little crush. Not ashamed at all.
