Why is there an EDIT button beneath the posts if you cannot edit? Whoever has permission to edit could they please delete the double post and fix the coding in the one left? ---

Normally I pay little attention to the looks of celebrities, but there are a few that I think are appealing. Andrew, the carpenter from “While You were Out”. Brenden Frazier, he just has such a sweet and cute air about him. Both of these guys appear “handsome” to me mainly due to their personalities, (well perceived personality in the case of Brenden, I’ve only seen him in movies and interviews). Celebrities that are just “pretty faces” don’t do a thing for me, they’re like an attractive drawing, no substance. ---

Which reminds me, that character actor, he was in the original terminator, the guy who knocks up Linda Hamilton. Something Lamb (or was that his character name)??? ---

And… what the??? (laughing at myself), The link I got listed Adrian Paul, was that a later actor on one of the many sequals? ---

He was also pretty hot in Aliens, but somehow wasn’t nearly as good looking in The Abyss. Thanks for the thread and the links guys, hubba hubba. I would like to second some nominations: Ralph Fiennes (but circa The English Patient/Quiz Show not Maid in Manhattan) and I’d like to add Joseph Fiennes. Damn, some good genes in that family. Jude Law. All bronzed and beautiful in The Talented Mr. Ripley. Goran Visnjic. Holy hell, this guy is just insanely attractive. Colin Farrel. I’d like to thank all of Ireland for giving us Collin Farrel. ---

Alan Rickman. Hugo Weaving. Gabriel Byrne. (can you tell I have a thing for slim, darkhaired men…) And I’ve always liked Harold Ramis, but more because he looks rather like my ex. Brad Pitt needs to be shaven and washed, and you might be able to take him out in public after that. ---

A “hipper than thou” attitude. imho, that sort of conceit drops a man’s “attractiveness quotient” by about 150 points.
