In your opinion, who is the most attractive actor and/or actress working in TV or movies today? You may name both a male and a female. I suppose you can choose someone based on their appeal at the time they were at the peak of their looks. I suppose you may name more than one if you feel that you know of more than one that fits the bill. My choice for the most attractive female is clearly Kandi Alexander who was a regular on the TV comedy News Radio and who also had a part in the excellent movie “What’s Love Got to do With it”? She is not a typical example of a beautiful woman, but there is just something about her that grabs me. I think she is absolutley stunning. I would really love to meet her. I’m guessing that most people would not think to name her. But when she was on News Radio, I would have dreams about her. She is a stunning beauty. I’m afraid that I don’t have anyone to name as the male choice. ---

Khandi Alexander was and indeed still is, quite hot. She was on _Treme_ last time I saw her. (Wait. Is _Treme_ still on?) so I don’t see a problem with your pick. Most beautiful female at the moment? I’m voting for Skye from Agents of Shield. Handsome male? Well, I’ve been told that I have awful taste in male looks, but I’m going for Oliver Queen from Arrow. At least he’s got the whole square-jawed thing going on. ---

For men, it’s hard to compete with Clooney or Denzel. For women, if you go through the history of movies and T.V. and apply an “at her peak” evaluation well, geez, I could be typing ad infinitum. So, let’s limit it to currently working actresses. Hmmmm, I think I’ll nominate Zoe Saldana. ---

January Jones is stunning, but I still can’t decide if she’s a good actor or Mad Men has a good casting director. ---

No opinion on male. For female, I’d have to say either Scarlett Johansson or Helena Bonham Carter. ---

For female, tie between Winona Ryder and Halle Berry (both in their dark short-haired periods). For male, I could not care less. ---

At the risk of being Mad Men centric, I’m surprised no one has mentioned John Hamm. I’m straight, but that’s a good looking dude. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-is-the-most-atractive-man-and-or-woman-working-in-movies-or-tv/678953.md?page=2)
