Raoul Walsh and Birth of a Nation (played John Wilkes Booth)
Billy Connolly and Mrs. Brown (played John Brown)
Rex Harrison and Dr. Doolittle (played Dr. John Doolittle)
Russell Crowe and A Beautiful Mind (played John Nash)
Sylvester Stallone played John Rambo.
Edward Furlong played John Connor (Arnold Schwarzenegger in True Lies)
Ed Harris played John Glenn.
Paul Lemat played John in American Grafitti (Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters)
Richard Rountree played John Shaft
Robin Williams played John Keating.
Donald Sutherland played John Klute (Jane Fonda in The China Syndrome)
John Malkovich played himself.
John Belushi played John Blutarski
John's a pretty common name but I think that's probably it; it explains both the all male actors and the hookers reference.
Looks like John Lee Hooker is indeed the link to the category.
Going through the actors list, I can add these characters off the top of my head:
Harrison Ford played John (Jack) Ryan in
Patriot Games/Clear and Present Danger
Denzel Washington played John Archibald in
John Q
Anthony Hopkins played John Quincy Adams in
Amistad
William Daniels played John Adams in
1776
Jack Lemmon played John Gustafson in
Grumpy Old Men/Grumpier Old Men
Warren Beatty played John Reed in
Reds
