You have to give Linda Hunt a hell of a lot of credit - not only is she not conventionally attractive, but she’s also a dwarf. Instead of always doing the weird typecast wise old dwarf roles she could have done, she went out and won an Oscar playing a man in The Year of Living Dangerously. Not a transgendered person, an actual man. Now, me, I’d be offended. “I’d like to thank the Academy for deciding I am so convincingly ugly I don’t even look like a woman. You love me! You really love me!” She also does fantastic voice work and has won a bunch of theater awards.
Oh, I agree. Linda Hunt is fabulous!
Benicio Del Toro is a perfect example of “ugly-hot.”
See also: Vin Diesel.
That 20’s shot of Christopher Walken is scary ugly.
Benicio Del Toro
That British chick from “Good Will Hunting” who looks like a crab.
Jack Nicholson
Shia LeBeuf (that turn in Indy 4 was pathetic)
Grace Jones
Prince (if you green-screened him into the Wizard of Oz, he would be a perfect singing munchkin)
Robert DeNiro (great actor, but his good looks days are far behind him)
Rebecca Gayheart
Shia LeBeouf is unattractive? Are you kidding? In what universe? I mean, he’s not particularly special, but he’s by no means ugly.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Linda Hunt in a role that she didn’t perfectly just disappear into. The woman is an amazing actress.
I think the problem for me with Shia is that I’m NEVER not going to see the little kid from Even Stevens when I look at him.
Oh true, he’s not afraid to deal with special effects makeup - I meant, he became a much-swooned-over romantic lead with the benefit of all of that makeup and stuff on him!
I think he’s an awesome actor, great voice and everything.
Can you imagine Daniel Emilfork as anything but a mad scientist employed by the Gestapo to waterboard kittens ? I think not. Great actor, though. I miss him.
But she has, apparently, now segued into “mom” roles, as evidenced by last night’s “Grey’s Anatomy” premiere.
Possibly the striking resemblance to Rebecca Gayheart?
EDIT: Not that a resemblance to a woman like Rebecca is a bad thing either, even if Shia did resemble her.

Has anyone mentioned Danny DeVito yet? Also, while not ‘technically’ an actress, I believe she’s done enough acting roles to qualify: Bette Midler.
Also, I am not ambiguous on Benicio del Torro at all. The only hot thing about him is his name. The rest of the package? Looks like he fell out of the ugly tree and hit every freakin’ branch on his way down. I’m always amazed when he makes lists like People Magazine 50 Hottest Men in America, etc.
Well, I did find this attractive photo of del Toro, but if you gotta go so far back and look as hard as I had to, I gotta go with unattractive in the main (does he ever wash his hair?).
A woman recently suggested that I go and sign up with an ugly models agency. Even her trying to clean it up with, “No, I just meant you have such a unique look.” didn’t do much for my already fragile ego.
On second thought, maybe a nice check for my “unique look” might assuage that.
She’s ugly in the sense Scary Spice is ugly.
Nah, I had a huge crush on him in my younger days. I like “interesting” more than handsome/pretty.
This sounds like a classic feminine misunderstanding of what guys find attractive. The only true answer to what type of woman guys like is “all types.” And not like women where each woman may be attracted to a different type of guy. All guys like all types of attractive women. Hair color, height, cup size, skin tone, midwestern girl next door or exotic Brazillian; none of that matters. They’re all good. As for Hollywood not exploiting the hotness of short, brunette, small-breasted pale chicks, I give you:
Rachel McAdams (5’5")
Evangeline Lilly (5’5")
Eliza Dushku (5’5")
Lizzy Caplan (5’5")
Anna Paquin (5’5")
Natalie Portman (5’3")
Gabrielle Anwar (5’3")
Nora Zehetner (5’3")
Shiri Appleby (5’3")
Rachel Leigh Cook (5’2")
Rachel Bilson (5’2")
Ellen Page (5’1")
Christina Ricci (5’1") (after breast reduction)
Shannon Woodward (5’?")
I originally included Rose McGowan and Winona Ryder – both 5’4" – but then took them off the list because they have big boobs. But both definitely qualify as short, pale brunettes. Emmanuelle Chriqui is a 5’3" brunette with smallish boobs, but she is decidedly not pale.
My God, to steal a line from another Doper, I’d hit that like the Tunguska meteorite of 1906!
