Last week we brought you 20 undeniably awesome mustaches in movies. I happen to be a big fan of mustaches and in the past have sported one myself. That said, a good beard blows away a good mustache any day of the week. There’s two types of beards in Hollywood: the hair that covers a man’s face and a Katie Holmes/Kelly Preston. To be clear, this gallery is dedicated to the former.

I’ve had a beard in the past, and the benefits are glorious. Sure, it itches, but women love it. My bosses no longer told me to do things; instead they politely asked. Everyone respects a good beard. And we’re talking about thick, awesome beards that you have to trim with scissors before shaving off. Goatees and those stupid line beards don’t count. That’s high school stuff.
