In his defense, Steve Carell’s Michael Scott is supposed to be the most repulsive boss you’ve never had. Aside from The Office, however, just about every hit TV show has its emerging—and, in some cases, re-emerging—hunk… And maybe Earl Hickey (Jason Lee) might’ve had that irresistible bad-boy edge if good ol’ karma hadn’t scared him straight.
With water-cooler gossip of late spilling over into hottest-hunk arguments, In Touch Weekly magazine compiled a sizzling list to end all debate. An unenviable task, to be sure, but the results are better than just hunky-dory. One show even boasts two stars on the list. (Hint: It’s a show so popular, that almost every actor has been branded a sex symbol.)
Below are In Touch Weekly magazine’s 10 Hottest Hunks on TV:
10. Tom Welling: Best Arms
Show: Smallville
Age: 28
Romantic Status: Married Jamie White in 2002.
His Hotness: As if it wasn’t enough that he plays Superman, Welling is a dog lover. He says he’d “rather be walking my dogs in the park” than indulging in the Hollywood club scene.
9. Matthew Fox: Best Smile
Show: Lost
Age: 39
Romantic Status: Married Margherita Ronchi in 1991; they have two children.
His Hotness: He not only gets hearts pumping on TV, as Dr. Jack Shephard on Lost, he keeps the suspense going off-screen: “He’ll go skinny-dipping at any moment,” says co-star Evangeline Lilly.
8. Shemar Moore: Best Abs
Show: Criminal Minds
Age: 35
Romantic Status: Single; has dated Halle Berry and Toni Braxton.
His Hotness: Crunches help to keep his six-pack abs rock-hard, but it’s workout in the kitchen that really turns some heads: “I bake cookies,” says the actor, who plays Special Agent Derek Morgan on TV. 7. Patrick Dempsey: Best Hair
Show: Grey’s Anatomy
Age: 40
Romantic Status: Married makeup artist Jillian Fink in 1999; they have one daughter.
His Hotness: His wife puts him in his place when it comes to his looks, but Dempsey even admits his own flaws, saying of his abs, “I have a half-keg going on, but never a six-pack.” Some flaws!
6. Eddie Cibrian: Best Dimples
Show: Invasion
Age: 32
Romantic Status: Married model Brandi Glanville in 2001; they have one son.
His Hotness: “People say it’s my dimples, but I say it’s my feet,” says the actor. Cibrian gives his feet a workout by playing football, basketball and golf to maintain his other body parts.
5. Wentworth Miller: Best Lips
Show: Prison Break
Age: 33
Romantic Status: Single.
His Hotness: The Princeton grad doesn’t only pursue actresses: “An ideal girlfriend might be someone who works in the business and can understand what you’re going through, but is not an actor themselves,” Wentworth Miller has said.
4. David Boreanaz: Best Stubble
Show: Bones
Age: 36
Romantic Status: Married renowned model/actress Jamie Bergman in 2001; they have one son.
His Hotness: He’s not only a former vampire from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but he can also channel Michael Jackson, circa “Moonwalk.” Now there’s a rare combo!
3. Jared Padalecki: Best Chest
Show: Supernatural
Age: 23
Romantic Status: Dating Sandra McCoy, his co-star from last year’s Cry Wolf.
His Hotness: Jared Padalecki is still riding his big break at the 1999 Teen Choice Awards, when he won a contest to be a presenter and was subsequently spotted by a Hollywood agent. But there was no luck involved, obviously. 2. John Stamos: Best Eyes
Show: Jake in Progress
Age: 42
Romantic Status: Single; marriage to model/actress Rebecca Romijn ended last year.
His Hotness: Stamos’ green eyes have seduced us for some 20 years, and now they’re back on the market. He said, “I never expected to be a bachelor at 41. Everyone’s suddenly a matchmaker.”
1. Josh Holloway: Best Everything
Show: Lost
Age: 36
Romantic Status: Married Yessica Kumula in 2004.
His Hotness: Chivalry lives on! Says Lost co-star Evangeline Lilly, “He’s the guy who opens doors, carries the bags for women and makes sure they feel protected. It’s a very endearing quality.” How does he stay in shape? Just like the rest of us (try to): “I bust my tail,” Holloway says.
