Michael Ealy

Proof that good looks alone aren't everything, this strikingly gorgeous actor spent a number of years toiling in off-Broadway theater before snagging his breakthrough role as an ex-con trying to go straight in the 2002 comedy Barbershop. Although he subsequently appeared in a string of movies, including the Barbershop sequel and brainless action flicks 2 Fast 2 Furious and Never Die Alone, TV is where Ealy proved he was much more than a pretty face. He seduced audiences  not to mention his leading lady, Halle Berry  as a sexy but troubled drifter in the 2005 TV-movie Their Eyes Are Watching God, and then struck fear in viewers' hearts as a Muslim FBI agent who infiltrates an Islamic terrorist group in the miniseries Sleeper Cell. Showtime brought the show back in 2006, and Ealy earned a Golden Globe nod for his riveting performance.
