Unexplained allure

[Mighty Girl]

I don't know why- but I think James Woods is incredibly hot and charismatic. He's at least twice my age- not classically attractive, but I watch Shark every week without fail just to see him. (No- I don't write fan letters, or hang posters of him or whatever).

Have you ever felt drawn to someone or found someone really appealing for reasons unknown to you?

[NightAngel]

I don't know why but there's a quirky kind of sexiness about Lance Heinrickson.

[TruthHurts]

I find myself oddly attracted to Adam Goldberg. Something about him is just interesting.

[Zombi]

Can I use a fictional character? If so, I'm going with Lucius Malfoy. He is a bigot, a snob, and an unutterable bastard, but god damn, who doesn't want to get their hands into that hair? ;)

[morgana]

Brent Spiner (Data on STNG). :rolleyes:

[Misanthropical]

Christopher Walken. What can I say? I like weird guys! ;)

[BlaqueKatt]

Gary Busey and Steve Buscemi
and if we can go with dead Guys: Joey Ramone(my husband looks alot like him)
I'll also have to agree with Zombi on Lucius Malfoy and raise her a Severus Snipe

[Der Cute]

Well, I'm kinda mainstream then..

I have the hots for Hugh Jackman. *melt*

Cutenoob

Merry Christmas! Please enjoy.

I have James Woods (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLqRxJoPXLo)

[PuckishOne]

I have the hots for Hugh Jackman
But who doesn't, I ask? ;)

Jeff Goldblum for me. Must be that geek appeal.

[kerrisan]

Yes.


John Cusack. :love::love::love:


He always plays characters who are just so calm, cool, and collected in any situation. I drooled all the way through Must Love Dogs.

[Bella_Vixen]

Have you ever felt drawn to someone or found someone really appealing for reasons unknown to you?

Besides my boyfriend? :angel:

[NightAngel]

John Cusack. :love::love::love:


And here I thought everyone loved John Cusak. I wouldn't have expected his name to pop up in this thread.

[kerrisan]

My friends always look at me funny when I say I want to have John Cusack's babies; I thought I was the only one!

[NightAngel]

Nope, I've thought he's sexy since... geez, ever?

Even back in the days of movies like Better Off Dead (ahhh, the '80's!) I thought he was sexy. But then, he really doesn't look much different now- he's one of those ageless people I think.

[AFpheonix]

I think Clint Eastwood is hotter now that he's older than when he was younger...must be that silverback thing.



Oh my god.....I'm so drunk right now.....typing is more interesting than usual.....

[NightAngel]

Yeah... I'm in the Snape boat as well- everyone knows that though. :D

I've been watching the first season of "Bones" on DVD recently. My hubby watched it for a few minutes and then he says, "Oh. Now I know why you're watching this! It has whats-his-face that played Angel in it."
Me: "Oh, no... I'm just watching it because it's a good show...*coughcough*"
I wasn't really lying... it is a good show. The fact that David Boreanez is in it is simply a perk. :angel:

[stormtreader]

Christopher Walken. What can I say? I like weird guys! ;)

I second the Christopher Walken vote - those eyes are amazing. :D

I also like Ryan Stiles (from Whose Line is it Anyway) and im not sure why - i think it must be the sense of humour and self-confidence.

[ShinyGreenApple]

My screen name probably gives it away, but I find myself strangely attracted to Geoffrey Rush, especially as Barbossa. Alot of people are baffled and sometimes a bit grossed out when I tell them that I think Barbs is the sexiest pirate :lol: But gawd . . . I can't help it. He's so charmingly wicked. :devil: I've given up trying to make sense of the attraction, now I just shrug and embrace it.

[XCashier]

Christopher Eccleston. Most of the actors who've played Doctor Who have been attractive and appealing in one way or another, but there's something fascinating about him. Maybe it's his intensity. Or his nice cheekbones.

The Edge from U2. Smart, talented, witty. And another one with nice cheekbones. :D

[PuckishOne]

Christopher Eccleston
Ooh, I missed that one!! Good catch!! He caught my eye way back when in the UK "Cracker" police drama...I whole-heartedly agree!!

[TNT]

And here I thought everyone loved John Cusak. I wouldn't have expected his name to pop up in this thread.

So as not to hijack this thread completely, I'll throw that I currently have an attraction I can't explain. Someone I know in real life, who I've known for over year. Never liked her at all... and then one day... Alas, she doesn't know I exist and I'm not in any mood to tell her.

Anyhow, my favorite John Cusak story. I was watching a hockey game some years ago on ESPN. The announcers were Gary Thorne and Bill Clement.

Gary: I understand we have a celebrity in the audience tonight. John Cusak is here.
Bill: It's always good to have celebrities attending hockey games.

Throughout the rest of the night, every time something interesting would happen, the cameras would zoom on John Cusak to get his reaction. The announcers would make note of it, you know, celebrities, hockey, etc.

You sort of had the feeling from the way the announcers were talking that they weren't quite sure why this was important. Usually, when there's a celebrity, the announcers would say, "I always liked him in such and such a movie, etc." None of that.

Finally, the camera zoomed in on John Cusak for the umpteenth time:

Bill: Gary, I finally have to ask... who's John Cusak?
Gary: I don't have a clue. I was hoping you'd know.

[Mighty Girl]

Wow, I've really opened a can of worms ;)

I'm also quite fond of John Cusack and Christopher Walken. Hugh Jackman can be hot- he was incredible in Van Helsing, but sometimes he looks too, how can I say it.....soft. Jeremy Piven is another one :)

[NightAngel]

And to keep the worms a crawling.... :D

I do not think Owen Wilson is hot- his nose bugs me.
His voice, however, I find quite sexy. I know I'm kind of a weirdo.

[ArenaBoy]

I have a friend who looks a lot like Demi Moore, the resembelence is so strong it's not even funny. She has long black hair like she does it's a very scary thing. She turns instant red when someone points out the resembelence.

[Spiffy McMoron]

Heh-I'll tell you guys something embarrassing. The contents of my "If I Were A Female, Who Would I Have a Massive Crush On?" list. Adding another name to the list bugs the hell out of my girlfriend. :p It includes, but is not limited to:

Dion Phanuef :D
Ami James and Chris Garver (From Miami Ink)
Daniel Craig (The new James Bond)
Jack Black
Bruce Campbell
Fat Mike from NOFX

Don't ask why I picked these guys, just know that I did.

[Zombi]

I have to throw in my lot with whoever it was who said Severus Snape. He's so....evil. And Alan Rickman brings a kind of dark sexiness to the character that's just....rrrrrowr.

Oh yes...the duel scene in CoS always does it for me. ;)

Has everyone seen this?

And this:
http://www.potterpuppetpals.com/sexy.swf (I find this one a bit disturbing actually...)

:lol:

[sportsmom]

Since no one has mentioned my little unexplainable crush ... I have a thing for Seth Green. I don't know why, but I just think he's adorable.

[Linda]

As per my avvie, it's Christopher Dean for me. I've always had a thing for him, but oh boy has he matured extremely well.

A man in lycra doing the splits. Ooh, or skating in only a thong. <faints>

[PuckishOne]

Dion Phanuef
At least you have good taste - most girls would say Darcy Tucker. ;)

*makes a personal vow never to hold this information against Spiffy no matter how attractive the reward/bribe may be*

*makes a personal vow never to hold this information against Spiffy no matter how attractive the reward/bribe may be*

Darcy Tucker? That guy? UGH! I'd rather go for Gary Bettmen! :roll:

And for the record, I'm comfortable with my man-crushes. ;)

[PuckishOne]

Someone else I think is cool and good-looking that no one's mentioned yet is Tory Belleci from Mythbusters.
A quintillion-bazillion Uber-Geek Points to anyone bold enough to claim the hots for the other Mythbusterette...the man, the myth, the card-carrying engineer himself - Grant Imahara!!

Personally, I'll stick with Adam...not an adventurous choice, but mine nonetheless. :D

Actually, any of the male Mythbusters could also go on my aforementioned list-there's just something about a man with a sizeable acutator. :D And I admit to having a slight real-life crush on Kari. :o

EDIT-I forgot one more person on the list-Hugh Laurie! Especially as House, but to a lesser extent, Hugh Laurie, circa Black Adder.

I love Grant! Any man willling to smell Adam's feet has to be a brave soul.

I didn't even consider him for the whole "unexplainable" thing though because he's adorable.

[MystyGlyttyr]

For the longest time, I had a crush on Matt Hyson, AKA Spike Dudley or Brother Runt, from wrestling. He's hardly what you'd call classic beauty but I just felt drawn to him. Then I got to know him and realized "Oh, yeah, he's a freak, I'm a freak. That's why we get along." But I like him more in the sense of just a friendly companion rather than a love interest.

I don't really have anyone on my list that isn't a wrestler, though, heh heh. Anyone who doesn't know who Dave Batista is should go look him up though. LOL

Now, if you want a REALLY weird one, and we're talking even I wonder which concussion led to this, Knuckles the Echidna from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It's not that he's handsome or anything, he's a damn cartoon, for goodness sakes, but there's just something about a surly, irritable, antisocial bastard who'd punch a hole through you as soon as look at you that appeals for some reason. Gee, I dunno why...that's so unlike me. :lol:

[NightAngel]

Well, if you want to go to cartoon/game characters... for me it's Kain in Blood Omen 2.

[PuckishOne]

Hugh Laurie! Especially as House, but to a lesser extent, Hugh Laurie, circa Black Adder.
Since we've breached the Black Adder boundary...how about ol' Edmund himself, particularly in that series-II beard and all-around rakish manner?

Wait, another one on the British Comedy Show Circuit!! Chris Barrie from Red Dwarf.

[Thrifty]

For me it has to be Chris Shelton a Detroit Tigers baseball player.

[counterjockey]

This thread needs some gender balance, I think. (Man-crushes notwithstanding.)

If I were a fanboy: Jewel Staite (Kaylee from Firefly/Serenity) or Summer Glau (River.) I'd say Gina Torres but then either Laurence Fishburne or Wash would kick my ass...that'd be bad. Eva Green from Casino Royale, while we're talking about things that Will Never Happen.

If I were an active activist type: Janeane Garofalo. But the political discussions would sink that, even though we are on the same wavelength on many issues. (The difference being that in the end, I just don't give a damn about a lot of the stuff.)

If I didn't just rent foreign films: Julie Delpy, Irene Jakob, Juliette Binoche, Franka Potente, Penelope Cruz (from Abre Los Ojos, not so much from Vanilla Sky. That's just me, I guess.)

If I had to explain, you still wouldn't get me: Sue Scott (actor from Prairie Home Companion) Lily Tomlin (oh, the reactions that one gets! ":confused: :eek: :( :roll: )

Laptop battery is running low, which is probably a good thing because I could go on...

[Phoenix79]

Mysty - I'm with you all the way on Dave Batista . . . I've had the hots for him since he started on WWE!!

I guess once one sees a pic of him . . . it is inevitable.

One really weird crush I've had since I was really young . . . David Bowie . . . particularly as the Goblin King in Labyrinth. I don't know why . . . he just gets me!!!

Phoenix

[XCashier]

David Bowie is hot, too. Maybe it's because he's so unique-looking? Oddly handsome, if I may coin a phrase.

[Melxb]

I have a thing for CSI and the Law & Order's so bear with me...

David Caruso in CSI: Miami...his diction is S-E-X-Y.
Vincent D'Ofrio in Law & Order: CI....oh my....cuuuuuutttee and hot.

Also, it goes without saying that I've had an eternal crush on David Duchovny since 1994, X-Files, season 1. 10 cookies to anyone who knows who Nicholas Lea is...sigh...now THAT'S a babe....

I'm jumping on the Alan Rickman bandwagon with both feet. Although, my mom's favorite movie is "Die Hard" (NO KIDDING! My mom LOVES that movie! We all don't know why. :rolleyes: ) I've always been fascinated with the German terrorist he plays. I finally fell in love with him when he played Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility. He was so debonair.

Since the title of the thread is "unexplained allure" I'll go for Kevin James from "King of Queens." What can I say? If I had a husband he probably be just like him....chubby and neurotic....:roll:

[irateguy]

D
Vincent D'Ofrio in Law & Order: CI....oh my....cuuuuuutttee and hot.


To me he will always be "Gomer Pyle" in Full Metal Jacket


Anyway I liked Valerie Bertinelli in her One Day at a Time Days Leelee Sobieski and Natalie portman are excellent too. Who can forget Farrah in that poster thats when I discovered the opposite sex:)
Camryn Manheim is cute for a plus sized woman

[NightAngel]

I'm jumping on the Alan Rickman bandwagon with both feet. Although, my mom's favorite movie is "Die Hard" (NO KIDDING! My mom LOVES that movie! We all don't know why. :rolleyes: )

Hey, I LOVE Die Hard! One of my all time fave action flicks.
Rickman was quite sexy in Robin Hood Prince of Theives also.

Has anyone else ever seen Closet Land?

[ArenaBoy]

I'm going to take Spiffy's route and put myself on the If I were a Female List Etc.
If I really was a female these are the guys:
Anthony Kiedis of the Chili Peppers
Sacha Baron Cohen of Borat fame
Beck
Slash
Oddly enough, David Bowe
Jim Morrison of the Doors
Chris Cornell of Soundgarden
and

Now seeing as I'm a guy, I have to add this:

Natalie Portman
Meg White of the White Stripes
Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth
Janis Joplin, do not ask why but I have some strange attraction to hippie singer girls
Demi Moore (More or less because of my friend looking a lot like her)
And Monica Belluci from the Matrix movies

[stormtreader]

Since we've breached the Black Adder boundary...how about ol' Edmund himself, particularly in that series-II beard and all-around rakish manner?

Wait, another one on the British Comedy Show Circuit!! Chris Barrie from Red Dwarf.

Ooo, hes definately the best Blackadder :D Bad to the bone, but handsomely.

I love the Rimmer character from Red Dwarf, hes so cutting :D

"Its better to live an hour as a tiger than a lifetime as a worm"
"Ah yes, but who ever heard of a worm-skin rug?"

"Theres an old cat saying: If youre going to eat tuna, expect bones"
"Theres an old human saying: If youre going to talk rubbish, expect pain"

Classic! :D

[NightAngel]

I love Rimmer but not in the "allure" category. There are many people who, as they talk, I can hear Rimmer saying, "And then I threw a six and a two!"

He was boring everyone with details of the best game of Risk he ever played.

Some people bore me in precisely the same way.

[PuckishOne]

I love Rimmer but not in the "allure" category. There are many people who, as they talk, I can hear Rimmer saying, "And then I threw a six and a two!"
Well, it is "unexplained allure," after all. ;) Maybe I should have mentioned him in his "Tomb Raider" role instead, get that big smegging holographic "H" off his forehead.

Mexlb: David Duchovny all the way, although I don't think there's too much unexplainable about that one! :D And thanks for the CSI reminder...I totally forgot to mention My Secret Boyfriend, Gil Grissom. Horatio's got the diction, but Gil's got...well, whatever he's got, I like it!! A big schwing for the bug guy!!

[stormtreader]

A big schwing for the bug guy!!

Ah, NOW i see the attraction! :D *duck* *run away*

[Zombi]

Bother Bother Bther Bother! :p :roll:


AVADA KEDAVRA!

I'll stop before I end up quoting the whole damn thing, but I will add this:

"Naked time!" :lol:

I also love "Die Hard":
"Unfortunately, your Mr. Takagi did not see it that way, so he will not be joining us for the rest of his life." Classic line. ;)

[NightAngel]

Maybe I should have mentioned him in his "Tomb Raider" role instead...


Nope, still doesn't do it for me. I really enjoy him as an actor but... nope.

*sings*
"David Duchovny, why won't you love me? Debrief and debug me!"

[AFpheonix]

EDIT-I forgot one more person on the list-Hugh Laurie! Especially as House, but to a lesser extent, Hugh Laurie, circa Black Adder.

It's the powdered wig, isn't it?

I'll third teh hotness of Elizebethan Black Adder. He had really good hair in that one....

[iradney]

I also like Ryan Stiles (from Whose Line is it Anyway) and im not sure why - i think it must be the sense of humour and self-confidence.

heeeheee
my boyfriend looks alot like Ryan Stiles *melt*
i also think that Colin Mockery is Deeeeeeeeevine!
oh! and Jon Favreau - he's just plain old yummy. no two ways about it!
and, to move a little away from the acting genre, I think that Jason Newstead (the ex-bassist for Metallica) is just toooooooo fine!

[Bella_Vixen]

And thanks for the CSI reminder...I totally forgot to mention My Secret Boyfriend, Gil Grissom. Horatio's got the diction, but Gil's got...well, whatever he's got, I like it!! A big schwing for the bug guy!!


Yummy.

::drool::

[Severen13]

Hugo Weaving--the man is HOT!!!!

I also love:

Jean Reno
Chris Cooper
Jake Busey
Paul Giamatti
Stephen Rea
William Petersen
Gary Oldman
David Thewlis


I also second the votes for The Edge, Hugh Laurie, Lance Henriksen, Christopher Walken and Vincent D'Onofrio. Yum!

:D

[blas]

I find older guys absolutely disgusting but for some reason, I can't stop my legs from shaking when I watch the old Star Wars (they've been on for like the past month on Cinemax) and see Harrison Ford...

*droooool*

[NightAngel]

I find older guys absolutely disgusting but for some reason, I can't stop my legs from shaking when I watch the old Star Wars (they've been on for like the past month on Cinemax) and see Harrison Ford...

*droooool*

Yeah, but he wasn't an 'older' guy then.
I spent a great deal of my younger years infatuated with Harrison Ford. First as Han Solo then as Indy!

[blas]

Did you catch him in American Graffitti? *drools some more*

[saint]

I'll toss myself with the Alan Rickman/ Snape lovers. Something Sexy about the bad/good/mystery thing. *pantpant.sexy.pant*
Also, David Bowie from the Labyrinth. Those yummy tight pants. Do you think He'd take me away if I let him take my big brother, too?

[Bella_Vixen]

Jim Brass and Doc, from CSI. Gotta love men with dry senses of humor.

[XCashier]

I spent a great deal of my younger years infatuated with Harrison Ford. First as Han Solo then as Indy!
Me too! Most of the posters on my bedroom wall were of Harrison Ford.

[Dreamstalker]

Jim Brass and Doc, from CSI. Gotta love men with dry senses of humor.
Chalk up another one here for Doc Robbins...my mom says he reminds her of my dad (probably the dry sense of humor, which I also have).

David Krumholtz (geek appeal, possibly?)
Christopher Eccleston
Eric Szmanda

[blas]

Christopher Meloni.....

He's far too old and going bald..........but he's so big and strong and commanding and just completely sexy.

And I feel for gross for being attracted to him.

[Becks]

Jim Brass and Doc, from CSI. Gotta love men with dry senses of humor.

Rowr. :eyewaggle:

Rowr, again.

[Bella_Vixen]

And how could I forget former baseball player John Jaha. I wanted to marry that man.


(I recently found his phone number for his new business...:devil: )

[TruthHurts]

A new one I just rented The Holiday off pay per view and thought that Jack Black was so attractive in that film. Which is weird because I have never found him attractive before.

[iradney]

Dr Cox from scrubs...he's dreamy... :love:

[GyroKat]

Brent Spiner (Data on Star Trek: Next Generation, I often feel like him because I too have issues understanding humans.).
And Jean-Luc Picard! (I always thought Patrick Stewart was awesome)

Alan Rickman, especially as Snape. But he was awesome in Robin Hood as the sheriff as well! Love his voice.

And then there's Eddie Izzard, high heels and makeup and all.... He's almost around my mum's age though, and if I ever managed to get get close to him, she'd steal him away in a second! She adores him as well, after I made the mistake of letting her watch all my Izzard DVD's.

And David Bowie in Labyrinth. I was never a Bowie fan before I saw Labyrinth, I guess it must be something with his awesome costume and hair, and the whole "kinda evil" thing, much like Snape.

Oh well, I'm engaged, so it's not like it's a real issue anyhow :P And all of these are between twice my age and 4 times my age!

[justZu]

10 cookies to anyone who knows who Nicholas Lea is...sigh...now THAT'S a babe....


Krychek!(did I spell it right?) Oooh, he was so hot. I wonder why he never got more popular. Can I have chocolate chips?

It's good to see I'm not alone on the Alan Rickman bandwagon. He was the only reason I watched Robin Hood and totally irresistible in Truly Madly Deeply

I had a total bad boy thing for...Dave Lister in Red Dwarf - now that's unexplainable.

Ted Raimi in Lunatics:A Love Story and as Joxer in Xena

And in the musical world - Ray Toro and his sexy sexy 'fro is way too young for me but I don't care. :D

[DarthRetard]

:oAlright, so I know a lot of women have posted on this one, so I want to take a turn, being a guy I do understand the feeling.

I'm extremely attracted to, and I'm not sure why, Mystique from X-Men.

Not the actress who plays her...but Mystique herself...

[Melxb]

Krychek!(did I spell it right?) Oooh, he was so hot. I wonder why he never got more popular. Can I have chocolate chips?

Actually it's Krycek (no "h") but you get the cookies for knowing who the character is. And you can have chocolate chip too....;)

Krycek was one of the more popular villains of the XF universe, if not the MOST popular. He was young and sexy and just eviiiiiiiiiilllllll. And how could you not go wrong with that? :D

Back on topic....I think Simon Cowell is sexy, but then again I'm a sucker for a man in a perpetually bad mood!

Someone mentioned the Edge from U2 earlier and I second that one as well--he has incredible musical talent, and no matter what his physical looks are, his talent makes him incredibly sexy. On that same note, Van Morrisson is also damn sexy.

[Andara Bledin]

What a fun thread.

I'm the sort of person who fangirls about all sorts of guys, from all over the place.

Here are some of the ones that I couldn't really explain.

Stephen Tyler of Aerosmith. I first noticed him while watching the movie Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band way back around 1980. He was the singer for the evil band at the final battle, but he isn't even credited in IMDb.

Alan Rickman. I first saw him in the original Die Hard movie. He was so villainous. And he made a truly malevolent Sherriff of Nottingham. And Galaxy Quest was outstanding, too. Then he got the part of Snape. He is a perfect Snape. I was a Snape fan from the books, and him being cast in the role was brilliant.

Christopher Walken. What can I say? He's just awesome in everything! I think seeing him as Max Zoran in A View to a Kill was the first time I noticed him. He can play any role he gets. I really liked him in the Prophecy movies. There is a movie out there called The Addiction that has to be the worst piece of pseudo-psychological tripe posing as a vampire flick I have ever had the misfortune of wasting my life with. And I've seen/read some truly execrable vampire fiction. Walken has a 5-minute part in it, and it is the only part of the entire movie that doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out.

Fun Fact: Walken tends to have fits of giggles when he gives interviews. He is someone I'd really like to have the opportunity to just hang out with.

^-.-^

[Food Lady]

I see a my whole list all over this thread, except for one: the caveman on the Geico commercial (the one in the airport). :ashamed: Now that's strange.

[NightAngel]

Krychek!

I had a total bad boy thing for...Dave Lister in Red Dwarf - now that's unexplainable.

Yep, gotta love Krycek! (Me? An X-Phile? No.) I will always have a thing for Mulder- always. :)
And just so you know- I had a thing for Lister for awhile as well... I definately can't explain it either... :confused:

[Andara Bledin]

Yep, gotta love Krycek! (Me? An X-Phile? No.) I will always have a thing for Mulder- always. :)
And just so you know- I had a thing for Lister for awhile as well... I definately can't explain it either... :confused:

Ack. I totally forgot to mention Craig Charles! (Lister). I adore his accent, and Lister is a great character.

^-.-^

[Rapscallion]

How about Ogre Fiona. For some reason, I always figured her as being more attractive than Princess Fiona (we're talking Shrek, for those who don't know where I'm coming from).

Rapscallion

[Andara Bledin]

Raps, I think it's that whole being comfortable with who she is thing that makes Fiona in her ogre form more attractive than the 'commercially pretty' Fiona.

^-.-^

[Rapscallion]

Dunno - even when she was fresh to her ogre form and uncomfortable with it, she was pretty cute.

Rapscallion

[Kiwi]

my secret crush is Adam Sandler

so cute, so shy, so ugly but so funny! I love guys that can make me laugh!

[SadisticToaster]

Jewel Staite (Kaylee from Firefly/Serenity)


Huh? How does that qualify as 'Unexplained allure'? She's practically the personification of the word 'cute'.

And since someone mentioned man crushes :

Jason Carter ( Marcus Cole from Babylon 5 ) : This one doesn't need explaining.

Nigel Bennett ( Prince from Lexx , LaCroix from Forever Knight ) . Seen him in 4-5 different programs ,each time playing exactly the same type of person. I'm beginning to think that he's not acting at all , and is simply the most evil person in Canada. Also has a truely amazing voice.

Cartoon characters count? Because there's just something about Jane Lane . . .

[iradney]

Well, if we're gonna go with drawn people, then I have to say Kurosaki Ichigo and Sado "Chad" Yasutora from Bleach. And Johnny Bravo. And Yakko from Animaniacs...

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Okay, I have to admit, I'm a randy old lady, and I have my short list of "Totally Hot and Beautiful Men"...and most of them are not unexplained, because they are hotter than the hinges on the gates of hell: Keith Hamilton Cobb, Naveen Andrews, Oded Fehr, Tom Welling, etc. Wolverine (no, not Hugh Jackman. I mean, the actor's pretty hot, but the character...rowr.).

But the ones I can't really explain are Jeff Goldblum and Gene Wilder (no kidding, I think Gene Wilder is one of the sexiest men alive. No, I'm serious.) And Jeff Goldblum...well, if someone was going to play my husband in a movie, it would be Jeff Goldblum. :eyewaggle: If it were based on looks alone, it would have to be Slash...but Jeff Goldblum's mannerisms, nerdy braininess, charisma, dark good looks, the whole package pretty much CHANNELS the man I married. :lol:

[CaroPhoenix]

Here is a partial list of The Men I think is most beautiful:

Alan Rickman (Yes, I'm on that bandwagon). I loved in him in the movie, "Quiggley Down Under", yes it has Tom Selleck in it, but that one scene - Alan Rickman's all in black, with tiiiiight pants, and he puts his hands in his pockets. *faints*

Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley). Have no idea why, but I think he's one of the most beautiful boys I've ever seen.

Jeremy Brett. In the 1980's and early 1990's, he played Sherlock Holmes in the various tv shows of all the stories of Sherlock Holmes. For me, he was beautiful (even to the end, when he was having lots of heart problems & he was puffing up not from weight but from his heart) and he was the epitome of what Sherlock Holmes would look like if he were real.

Leonard Nimoy. Those Vulcan ears. enough said.

Eric Szamanda aka Greg Sanders from CSI. He's just too too too cute. I love the way how he plays the geeky, I want to be taken seriously guy.

David Caruso. LOOOOOOVE him as H on CSI: Miami. OOOOOO!

Jonathan Togo aka Ryan Wolfe of CSI: Miami. He could be Greg Sanders' little brother. (just cockier).

I thought I was the only one who loved Vincent D'Onofrio. I like him in the movie "Blood Sport".

Willem Dafoe. Don't know. There's just something about him. It must be the eyes.

Cillian Murphy. He's beautiful! He's Irish! He can be charming and creepy all at the same time. *swoons*

[myswtghst]

I'll second Christopher Meloni, for sure. Can't explain it either, but damn.

I also heart Seth Green--I will always remember him as Oz from Buffy. :D

And Jack Black reminds me of my ex-boyfriend, but I do think he's adorable.

Jumping on the Hugh Laurie and Alan Rickman bandwagons.

And to add one of my own, I have a complete and total girl-crush on Neko Case. Oh and an odd one--Jonathan Davis of KORN. He reminds me of one of my college roomies, who I still love dearly (though mostly as a friend).

Tom Welling... Hugh Jackman.

Yeah, Tom Welling is a no brainer- he is stunningly beautiful. I was SO glad when I found out he's actually about 30 so I could quit feeling dirty about lusting over a guy who plays a High School kid.

Hugh Jackman, for me, is unexplained as I really never liked him much. I'd hear all these women going on about how hot he is and I'd think, "Meh."
But just recently I was putting away some movies at work and I was looking at the box to some movie of his and it just sorta hit me. He's hot.
I rented Kate & Leopold that same day. :lol:

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Oh, Kate and Leopold! I love that movie!

I was SO glad when I found out he's actually about 30 so I could quit feeling dirty about lusting over a guy who plays a High School kid.

Thank you for telling me that. I almost was unwilling to admit how unbelievably beautiful I think that man is because I thought he was very young and it made me feel dirty. :o What does he do, sleep in vat or formaldehyde? He must have the same arrangement as Dorian Gray.

[Andara Bledin]

Yikes... can you believe I had to look up who Tom Welling was? But, yeah, he's a hottie for sure.

Nigel Bennett ( Prince from Lexx , LaCroix from Forever Knight ) . Seen him in 4-5 different programs ,each time playing exactly the same type of person. I'm beginning to think that he's not acting at all , and is simply the most evil person in Canada. Also has a truely amazing voice.

Yeah... Nigel Bennett is deliciously evil, all right.

But the ones I can't really explain are Jeff Goldblum and Gene Wilder (no kidding, I think Gene Wilder is one of the sexiest men alive. No, I'm serious.) And Jeff Goldblum...well, if someone was going to play my husband in a movie, it would be Jeff Goldblum. :eyewaggle: If it were based on looks alone, it would have to be Slash...but Jeff Goldblum's mannerisms, nerdy braininess, charisma, dark good looks, the whole package pretty much CHANNELS the man I married. :lol:

Wilder was a funny, funny man. And everything I ever saw him in made me think he was really smart, too. And how could you help but like Goldblum?

Alan Rickman (Yes, I'm on that bandwagon). I loved in him in the movie, "Quiggley Down Under", yes it has Tom Selleck in it, but that one scene - Alan Rickman's all in black, with tiiiiight pants, and he puts his hands in his pockets. *faints*

For me, he was beautiful (even to the end, when he was having lots of heart problems & he was puffing up not from weight but from his heart) and he was the epitome of what Sherlock Holmes would look like if he were real.

Oooh... I'll have to re-watch Quiggley. I guess I was too busy watching Tom the last time I saw it.

And Jeremy Brett practically oozed Sherlock. All the sly little looks, like he knew you didn't have the faintest clue, but he'd pretend you knew what was going on anyway. He was so intense.

Hugh Jackman, for me, is unexplained as I really never liked him much. I'd hear all these women going on about how hot he is and I'd think, "Meh."
But just recently I was putting away some movies at work and I was looking at the box to some movie of his and it just sorta hit me. He's hot.
I rented Kate & Leopold that same day. :lol:

I still haven't seen Kate & Leopold. If I was smart, I'd add it to my NetFlix queue right now....

Well, if we're gonna go with drawn people, then I have to say Kurosaki Ichigo and Sado "Chad" Yasutora from Bleach. And Johnny Bravo. And Yakko from Animaniacs...

Uh-oh... you want to include animated characters?

Put me down for Jonny Bravo, and Wacko Warner. And Chad (Ichigo is a no-brainer), although I'm actually a big Uruhara fan. Then there's Shikamaru and Jiraiya from Naruto. Mousse from Ranma 1/2. Lexington from Gargoyles. And way back, I had a thing for Max Sterling (Maximilian Jenius) from Robotech.

^-.-^

[NightAngel]

Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil 4.
If I was a guy or gay: Lara Croft and Blood Rayne.

Truly unexplained:
Kain in Blood Omen 2. (before he had hooves. lol.)


Yummy.

[Andara Bledin]

Another one from back a ways...

The Lord of Darkness from the movie Legend.

^-.-^

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Okay, if you are forcing me to admit which cartoon character I find attractive...Dryden Fossa from Escaflowne.

You guys seeing a pattern here? ;)

Oh. I almost forgot...we were having a "hottest guy in kid's television" conversation...yeah, I know: sad....and my vote is for Dan Zane.

And just as an fyi, Dan Zane gets added to my list anyway.

I've always been attracted to guys with very strong jaws, and I find a lot of wrestlers have that. Plus I like guys who don't get much attention, so I'll post some of my faves.

None of these will shock Mysty.

Raven, the man I quote in my signature.

Johnny Nitro. This one might be a little bit obvious though. Not featured in picture: Legs that run into next week.

That's all I can think of right now.
