[Viggo Mortensen](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001557/) can look like Jesus/Aragorn, he can look like your high school math teacher, he can look like a psycho, and he can go completely unnoticed, a face in the crowd. I swear I don’t know how he does it. [French Stewart](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0829390/). Look at that sweet, beautiful face. I bet he was an adorable kid. [Ted Raimi](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001646/). He’s smart, he’s talented, he’s his big brother’s butt monkey. If I didn’t suspect that he constantly stinks of cigarettes, I’d be all over him. [Daniel Craig](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0185819/). With that banged-up, lived-in face, his own friends call him “Mr. Potato Head.” He only gets better with age. [Kevin Smith](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0003620/). I swear, if he could lose the weight, learn to dress like a man instead of a college student (a slacker college student at that), and stop swearing every other word out of his mouth, he could be the next George Clooney. He’s got that beautiful smile, that Irish twinkly-eyed thing going, and he’s smart and talented and funny as hell. [Johnny Knoxville](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0424216/), God help me. The _Jackass_ guy, the _Dukes of Hazzard_ guy, he’s gorgeous in a rough kind of way. He’s the redneck who made good. Who knows what he might be capable of… (if he doesn’t kill himself first)? ---

Oh, yeah - I forgot Alan Rickman. (Back in the Die Hard days, especially!) What a voice! Richard Gere - but hey, doesn’t everyone think he’s pretty hot? And he’s aged well, too! I also agree with Daniel Craig and Kevin Smith. I kinda like the teddy-bear type! ---

Jonathon Rhys-Meyers, Neil Patrick Harris, David Tennant, Seth Rogen. Alan Rickman. When any of them are on-screen, I can’t take my eyes off them. Why are these men “strangely” attractive to me? Because I am a heterosexual man. Of course, “attractive” doesn’t necessarily mean I want to bump boots with them; it merely means that I enjoy looking at them. Jason Mewes (long-haired version) however…there’s just something about his ambiguously feminine looks and aggressively masculine personality that makes me want to caress him. ---

God forbid I travel to Scotland or Ireland, I may never come home! Then you should probably avoid [Barry Fitzgerald](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5kScBnhYSA) of Ghost Hunters International. I could listen to him talk all day, and I’m a straight guy. ---

(Well, as objective as such things can ever be, of course.) This post sounds a bit partisan, because, if the facts be told, she was a homely teen, and Chelsea is NOT a very pretty woman. She is, however, hotter than a firecracker. hh ---

[QUOTE=a35362;14477951French Stewart. [/QUOTE] Agreed. I always thought he was strangely sexy on Third Rock From the Sun and I could never explain why. The same goes for the original person I wanted to nominate… **Gary Sinise**. Ever since I was little (maybe 10 and up) I was in love with Gary Sinise and I could never quite explain it. If I look at him objectively, I think he’s not all that attractive but he’s so verile and sexy. It was a highlight of my life to be able to see him in person. 😃 ---

Oh kind of a sinking thread but for some reason the Drew Carey show popped into my mind and I thought “OH! Diedrich Bader!” I loved him as “Jethro” in the Beverly Hillbillies movie too. There’s just something so gleefully silly about him that makes him attractive. ---
