David’s hot. And I say that as a mostly heterosexual male.

Tina Fey. There seems to be a running gag that Amy Poehler is the hottest _SNL_ chick in the present cast. All I can say is, I’d **go** with Amy, but I’d be thinking of Tina! 😃

**Beware of Doug** has a really good list.

**ChaChaHeels** , I’ll accept that he’s not your type. I don’t know what your type is so if he really isn’t your type then I guess your answer fits the OP, but _everybody_ thinks Benicio Del Toro is hot.

I second that.

Also Norman Reedus, even though he looks something like the result of a human-ferret breeding program.

[David Thewlis](http://hpacteurspoudlard.free.fr/images/photos/davidthewlis/albumphotos/davidthewlis004.jpg), who despite looking very weaselly and undernourished, is or was living with Anna Friel, a serious babe.

Also [Robert Carlyle](http://www.djfl.de/entertainment/stars/r/robert_carlyle.jpg), who generally looks very peaky.

[Christian Bale](http://i.tvspielfilm.de/img/gen/3/8/453864_Pxgen_r_164xA_1x1_297784.jpg), now, is an interesting case. He’s got the Serious Hero thing down pat and yet, I suspect that long, thin face of his is not going to age well.

No, indeed. I think Benicio Del Toro is one of the ugliest guys I’ve ever seen masquerading as a leading man. Purely my opinion, of course…

However, please add me to the list of voters for:  
Hugh Laurie (as Dr. House)  
Alan Rickman  
Ryan Stiles

They say he’s the Puerto Rican Brad Pitt! He’s actually handsomer because of he has those eyes and that hair. Wow, is that guy handsome. I think he was even in one of those sexiest of the year things. I love his looks.

I have had the massive hots for Jack Black for a long time. I don’t know what it is about that guy but he turns me on like crazy. I just can’t explain it. It’s really not that I think he’s funny because I really prefer to imagine him being serious. I thought he was super hot when he was young, like in Dead Man Walking. He was acting completely normal there and that was the hottest I have ever seen him.

Rob Cordry also turns me on for no good reason. He seems really dirty. He’s ugly but I don’t know. There’s something there!
