Constantine Maroulis from American idol, who is actually pictured in Bill Maher’s latest book. ---

This might seem like an odd choice, but I love Mike Rowe from [Dirty Jobs](http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/dirtyjobs/splash.html). He’s got a great sense of humor, not to mention being _hot_! ---

Rachel True - _Half & Half’s_ Mona Amy Davidson, _8 Simple Rules’_ Kerry and Persia White - _Girlfriends’_ Lynn I guess I like them biracial or redhead ---

For me, it’s all about Buffy’s Willow Rosenberg, the cute, brainy, redheaded, bisexual Jewish Wiccan played by Alyson Hannigan. I also dig Winifred “Fred” Burkle from Angel, played by Amy Acker. ---

The guy who plays Sayid on Lost. I’m a faithful viewer from the beginning, but I pay no attention to the credits so I don’t know any of these characters real names. And I have never seen him anywhere but on the show, so I have no clue if he’s hot in real life. It may be just the shirtless sweaty version I see on the show that does it for me. ---

Caroline Ellis. You probably have NO idea who she is, but she was the lone female fairy in the Sid & Marty Kroft series “The Bugaloos”. Here’s a decent picture: [http://www.bugaloos.com/joy0.html](http://www.bugaloos.com/joy0.html) ---

In my more twinkophile moments, the guy who played David (Johnny Galecki) on _Roseanne_ is quite somebody I’d like to have scrubbed and sent to my chambers. Of course on the subject of twinks, the orgy possibilities of the last season of _Boy Meets World_ are endless- I’m guessing that by then the core audience was 50% gay male. ---

She has hair. Actually, another fearsome lady who used to present a financial show used to make me quiver: Consuelo Mack from WSJ Report. When she said “Have a good week and make it a productive one” at the end, I always felt she was speaking directly to me, who’d just finished another unproductive one. ---

for me it didn’t matterthe character they played - it was the actor: at various times over the last 25 years and for varying durations (in no particular order) Scott Bakula John Ritter Alton Brown Mike Farrell John Corbett Kelsey Grammar David Hyde Pierce Nicholas Brendon Harry Anderson Noah Wylie Anthony Edwards James Spader the list goes on and on but I think that’s enough for now ---

Another dirty old man here. I would definitely want to go to band camp with Alyson Hannigan. The most unrealistic aspect of “Buffy, The Vampire Slayer” wasn’t the vampire stuff, but the fact that Band Camp Girl was supposed to be the wallflower best friend while Sara Michelle Skeletor was the “hot” one. Another TV wallflower I find hot is that little black doctor on "Gray’s Anatomy."Great eyes, great smile; I never was attracted to skinny model types anyway. Among older women, definitely Kathy Bates from “6 Feet Under”. Actually, the Fisher Mom ain’t half bad in that one,either. "Daughter"Claire looked better in the earlier seasons when her face was chubby-cheeked( kinda gaunt this last season IMO). On the"Sopranos", definitely Jackie Aprile’s widow. ---

[James Lunday](http://tlc.discovery.com/fansites/inafix/bio/bio_09.html) from _In a Fix_. He has those nice thick arms and a little pudge around the belly. The best episodes were when the crew pranked him and he had to change his shirt on camera. Oh, and he seemed to have a nice personality too. 😉 I think he may have had to go back Down Under. And I can’t remember her name, but the Indian woman with the British accent who used to be on ITN News–I don’t see her in their correspondent roster. Patrick Dempsey in \*Grey’s Anatomy \* is looking pretty good these days, continuing the attractive streak started in **Lucky 7**.
