How could anyone resist an impish, self-deprecating sense of humour like this man has? Plus he's handsome and athletic. You can keep Tom Welling, it's always been Michael for me!
These days I'm watching him in Impastor. This is an excellent vehicle for Michael as it allows him to use his comedic skills, which he has in abundance!

Show creators were so impressed with his work that they would go on to cast him as the young King Arthur in the hit show Merlin (2008) which aired on BBC & NBC. Of the eventual cast, James was the only cast ...
Was history's Arthur Pendragon really this hot? In Merlin, Bradley James has showed that he has a strong talent for comedy, I would love to see him do more of this. He's just a natural. In addition to being a lovely hunk of man, he's an excellent actor - anyone who watched the finale of Merlin can attest to that. He and Colin were absolutely brilliant in those final scenes together.
And of course, Bradley was excellent in iZombie and I am looking forward to seeing him in his new series as Damion.

His father, Winston, is from Sierra Leone and worked at Ford Dagenham; his mother, Eve, is from Ghana and had a clerical duty.

He could easily have played Thor without needing to bulk up coz Idris already has the body of a god! (Instead they cast him as Heimdall, the guardian of Asgaard's rainbow bridge.)
22. Kevin Alejandro
Actor | Arrow
Kevin Michael Alejandro is an American actor and film director. He is known for his roles as Nate Moretta in the crime drama Southland, Forklift Mike in Parenthood, Jesús Velázquez in the supernatural thriller True Blood, Sebastian Blood / Brother Blood in the superhero series Arrow and as Daniel ...
Everytime I see this actor, he just blows me away with the chances he takes and the versatility he shows. Plus Kevin is veeerrrry easy on the eyes.
23. Timothy Olyphant
Actor | Justified
From Timothy Olyphant's first screen appearances, such as his two-minute bit in The First Wives Club (1996), to "Nicko", whose presence at times dwarfed the island in A Perfect Getaway (2009), he has been a force to be reckoned with.
Born in Hawaii, Timothy David Olyphant was raised in Modesto, ...
I've had a crush on him ever since Deadwood. Timothy, please grow your mustache again!
24. Colin Firth

Those blue eyes, that laugh, John is so delicious!

Simon Baker was first recognized in 1992, when he received Australia's prestigious Logie award for Most Popular New Talent. Upon relocating to Los Angeles with his family, Baker was immediately cast in the Academy Award winning film L.A. Confidential (1997).
Our favourite Mentalist has a drop-dead smile, gorgeous blond hair and an ozzy accent to die for. The fact that he is such a devoted family man just adds to his appeal.
28. Tim Kang

The older Michael gets, the sexier he gets. I liked him in Stargate but it wasn't until the later seasons that we got to see his tougher, grittier side. That's when like turned to love.
31. Matt Bomer
Actor | In Time
Matthew Staton Bomer was born in Webster Groves, Greater St. Louis, Missouri, to Elizabeth Macy (Staton) and John O'Neill Bomer IV, a Dallas Cowboys draft pick. Matt was raised in Spring, Texas, and educated at Klein High School, near Houston. After school, he attended Carnegie Mellon University in...
How can someone be this good looking, be such a genuinely nice person AND sing so beautifully? If Matt Bomer didn't already exist, we would have to invent him. Sigh. (Tx for the reminder Inmaculada, can't believe I left Matt out in the 1st round!)
32. Tom Hiddleston

His mother is a former stage manager, and his father, a scientist, was the managing director of a pharmaceutical company. He started off at the preparatory ...
When I first created this list Tom wasn't on my radar. Since then I have corrected this terrible, terrible error and have gotten to know his work. This led to watching many YouTube vids of Tom being interviewed and dancing. The verdict? He is sexy, charming, unfailingly courteous and just generally delightful. I'm looking forward to seeing his Hank Williams biopic "I Saw the Light" in 2016.
33. Colin Morgan
Actor | Belfast
Colin Morgan is a Northern Irish film, television, theater and radio actor who attended Integrated College Dungannon, winning the 'Denis Rooney Associates Cup' for best overall student in the third year, before gaining a National Diploma in Performing Arts from the Belfast Institute of Further and ...
Colin's charm has been a slow build for me but I find that the older he gets the handsomer he gets. His post-Merlin work has seen him with a beard, which suits him very well, and in 18th and 19th century period costume which really suits him. He has built up a very favourable reputation in the U.K. as a skilled and versatile actor and I would love to see his profile rise in North America, as he so richly deserves.
34. Robert Downey Jr.
Actor | Iron Man
Robert Downey Jr. has evolved into one of the most respected actors in Hollywood. With an amazing list of credits to his name, he has managed to stay new and fresh even after over four decades in the business.
