though he is not an actor, he has appeared on many fictional tv shows and a few movies, but this guy will always be cool in my book...

Cool: Steve McQueen, Warren Oates, Brad Pitt, Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew McConnaughey, Jeff Bridges, Jack Nicholson, Sean Connery, Cary Grant
Gravitas: Daniel Day Lewis, Joaquin Phoenix, Gary Oldman, Sean Penn, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Forrest Whitaker, Dustin Hoffman, Marlon Brando
They can overlap, but they are entirely different things.

Olyphant has an unusually long torso and short legs which makes him look like a midget standing on another midget under a trench coat when he walks. Ain’t nothing cool about that!

Re: Which actors just epitomize coolness and gravitas?
It is hard to have both coolness and gravitas at the same time, but some actors - or indeed regular people - exude coolness because of or despite their gravitas. The inverse is impossible, in my opinion, meaning it is impossible for one's suavity to impart gravitas.
