> [@DeadlyAccurate](#): > > _He’s_ supposed to be strangely attractive? The man is _gorgeous_. I know what you mean. He is probably considered a sex symbol and he is definetely seems to be a sex symbol is his own mind, so it doesn’t count as strange. It’s just that it’s strange for me: indie dressing, traditional harp playing quirky girl living surrounded by fields in Ireland. What I mean to say is that I’m just about the opposite of bling and in my circle of friends, bringing up Snoop as sexy definetely raises eyebrows. That is if they’ve heard of him at all. Gorgeous is right, though. ---

Paige from Trading Spaces on TLC. My friends think I’m nuts, but that woman could light cigarettes off her smile it’s so damn hot. ---

I’ll second David Duchovny, but I think he is mainstream attractive. Gary Sinise is so hot, even as Lt. Dan. I also love the guy who played Mulder and Scully’s boss on X-Files. The tall, bald guy. What’s his name? Christoper Walken has that charisma going for him, very hot. ---

**Martin Freeman**. He played Tim on _The Office_ and was in _Love Actually_ (IMDB says he’s playing Arthur Dent in the _Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy_ movie coming out next year). **David Herman**. Played Michael Bolton in _Office Space_. It would seem as though I go for the office worker type. :dubious: ---

> [@madmonk28](#): > > Fran Dresher, there I’ve said it. I _like_ her voice. Is there something wrong with me? There is an episode of the Nanny where she drops the voice, she can sound normal if she wants. How about. . . Ruby Wax ---

I have to add my name to the list of Billy Bob Thornton and Steve Buscemi admirers. Glad I’m not alone in that. I also want to add [Joaquin Phoenix](http://www.joaquin-phoenix.net/pics/print/elle0304_01.jpg). Yes, I know he’s pretty good-looking but there’s something unconventional about his looks, especially with that scar on his upper lip. I’ve been attracted to him for years even when he played the greasy-haired creepy kid in _To Die For_. I also have the hots for [Joseph Fiennes](http://www.angelfire.com/az/msmossie9z/fiennes.html), not that his looks are unconventional in any way however, I just wanted to put him on this list somewhere. 😃 ---

Monster, I vote for \*\*Gary Sinise \*\* too. I can’t explain that one at all but I’ve always been a little swoony over him. Also like **Josh Charles**. He was in a (an all too short-lived) show called Sports Night. And I’m thinking **Paul Bettany** is hot too. What can I say? I like cute nerds. ---

Wow. I’ve never watched Trading Spaces, but Paige Davis looks _exactly_ like all the nerdy girls I have ever had unrequited crushes on… ---

> [@madmonk28](#): > > Fran Dresher, there I’ve said it. 😃 lol I’m a girl but I have to admit that there is something appealing about Fran Dresher. She seems kind of doll-like and cute and funny too. Makes you want to be friends with her… Thought of another one **Kelsey Grammer** anyone? He has a voice like silk and he’s not bad looking either. ---

Not strange because of her looks, but strange because of what she does- Kristina Abernathy of the Weather Channel. Cute blond Mira Sorvino type! ROWWR! ---

**Eugene Levy** for some reason is just very sexy to me. My sister actually snorted when I brought up his name while we were talking about hot guys. ---

Richard Schiff. Willem Dafoe, although I also find him incredibly repulsive. _shudders_ ---

I’m going to get on the Christopher Walken bandwagon. Even when he’s psycho and evil. Actually _especially_ when he’s psycho and evil. Rowr. And to add my own. . . Alton Brown, from Good Eats. I don’t know he’s so quirky and cute and when he wears that leather jacket on the promos. . . I should stop before I embarrass myself.
