I totally agree with the people who said Steve Buscemi and Trey Parker. I thought of a few more, too: Jonny Mosely (does anyone remember him?) Jerry Cantrell Eddie Vedder Matt Dillon Ryan Stiles Jimmy Kimmell Dan Marino (aging well) Samuel L. Jackson ---

Alot of the guys I find attractive aren’t surprising…ie Dylan McDermott, Duncan Sheik, etc… The ones who aren’t seen as “handsome leading man” who I find attractive are: John Cusack (my favorite actor. Sure, he’s the often leading man but I’ve never seen anyone make a big deal about how good looking he is…except me :)) Henry Thomas (he’s all grown up now) Robert Sean Leonard (“Dead Poet’s Society”) Jonny Lee Miller (“Trainspotting”) Ilan Mitchell-Smith (Wyatt from “Weird Science” who is apparently now a professor in English Lit.) I gotta agree with: Dave Foley, Dr Drew, and Tom Conti ---

> [@](#): > > Tell me, do you find any assassins sexy? Which one are you referring to? John Cusack played an assassin in one film but he’s also played a reporter, air traffic controller, politician, and, often, a misunderstood teenager. Robert Sean Leonard played a Nazi in one movie but I know him best from other films. Henry Thomas played Norman Bates but I just saw him in “Niagara, Niagara” Oh! And I gotta add Kevin Spacey. He was Kaiser Soze, you know 😉 ---

Oh wait…I’m sorry, Alphagene, I understand your joke now 🙂 When you said assassin, I thought, well, John Cusack played one…and I went from there. So your joke wasn’t wasted on me but it took me alittle while to get it…duhhhhh _thinks_ um, nope, don’t remember seeing any hot assassins 😉 ---

Well I think Ed Asner is particularly attractive (from Mary Tyler Moore fame) and Drew Carey too. I would date either of them in a second. I must admit the younger Ed was a bit nicer, especially when he had a beard (I can’t remember the name of the movie I saw him in with a beard.) \ I am seeing a pattern here. SqrlCub ---

I don’t know if any of these are surprising or not: Richard Dean Anderson Clint Black Dennis Quaid Dennis Miller (at times) Michael Ironsides (Is that his name?) Scott Bakula Geraint Wyn-Davies (sp?) Ben Bass Dirk Benedict Antony Hamilton Jon-Erik Hexum Jeffrey Meek Michael T. Weiss That’s all I can think of right now. ---

Well, Adam Sandler’s not bad looking…but I might just think that because the guy I’m seeing bears a strong resemblance to him… 😉 Oh, and that guy on Due South. He was pretty decent… * * * Love, Pippy And now, for something completely different. ---

Pippy, which guy on Due South? The mountie? As for my list… Paul Fraser Callum Keith Rennie Tommy Lee Jones Michael Biehn Dave Matthews (that man is unbelievable.) And I have to agree on John Cusack, Dr. Drew, Scott Bakula and Dave Foley. ---

Michael J. Fox (till I found out he smokes), and Dennis Miller (till he started doing those incredibly annoying phone company commercials). And does anyone remember Carl Betz, who played Donna Reed’s husband–oh, oh–and the gorgeous Guy Williams, from Zorro and Lost in Space! The Professor from Gilligan’s Island wasn’t bad, either. I don’t see the attraction, but a lot of women (and not a few men) have told me they found Speed Racer very sexy. ---

Bill Pullman has that sexy gravely voice thing going at times that just is so spine melting. I also forgot: Vince Vaughn.
