Best Anglophone philosophers of action since 1945?

Our latest poll, concerning philosophers of action in the post-WWII period.  I'll permit write-ins for a bit, just in case there are some egregious omissions.  Remember, for living philosophers, they must be over 60 in 2016 to be eligible.  Get to it!

UPDATE:  I've closed the write-ins.  I do wish folks would bother to check whether philosophers they are writing in qualify; for example, none of Derk Pereboom, Michael Thompson, or Paul Russell are over 60.  And some other write-ins don't even do philosophy of action, but that will presumably be reflected in the results.  But since Pereboom, Thompson, and Russell aren't eligible, do not vote for them.  Unfortunately, I can't remove the mistaken write-ins.

ANOTHER:  Two correspondents claim that Russell is in fact 60, thus betrayed by youthful looks!   If that's right (I haven't been able to confirm), then he was a serious omission.  Readers can, in any case, vote for him, though being added late may be, given the poll software, fatally prejudice the results in his case.
