The Men of “Ocean’s Eleven”

Click here to vote for the sexiest man in Ocean’s Eleven!

George Clooney. Matt Damon. Brad Pitt. Andy Garcia. Don Cheadle. Scott Caan. Could a cast for a movie be any sexier?

The answer to that would have to be a big fat “no.”

Director Steven Soderbergh probably didn’t think by casting these fellows in his newest film, Ocean’s Eleven, he’d send every woman’s heart a-flutterin’. Soderbergh was (most likely) simply looking for the best talent he could find to remake the 1960 cult classic about eleven guys who try to knock off a bunch of Las Vegas casinos in one night.

Still, somewhere deep within, maybe Soderbergh felt he had to live up to the standards of the original easy-on-the-eyes cast, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford.

Whatever the reason, this current line up of hot male movie stars is very impressive–so much so that we want you to vote on who you think is the sexiest. The choice is a difficult one…

For your consideration, the men of Ocean’s Eleven:

Who he plays: Danny Ocean (The Idea Man)–a smooth-talking ex-con who, upon release from prison, immediately sets in motion a plan to knock off three Las Vegas casino and at the same time, tries to win back his ex-wife (Julia Roberts). Piece of cake.
The meltdown factor: Hands down, Clooney has got to have one of the sexiest smiles of any leading man out there. There are also those incredible down-turned eyes that can level you with one glance. Or how about the way he woos his leading ladies–on and off the screen? Oh, hell, what isn’t sexy about the guy?
The tally so far:. From his tortured Dr. Doug Ross in the television show ER to his other deadly attractive ex-con, Jack Foley in Out of Sight, to his stalwart Capt. Billy Tyne in The Perfect Storm, Clooney has proven again and again just how hot he can be.

Who he plays: Rusty Ryan (The Pro)–Rusty is Ocean’s right-hand man and helps him gather the famed eleven. A professional card shark, Rusty has hustled casinos worldwide and also happens to speaks fluent Cantonese, which comes in handy.
The meltdown factor: Like Clooney, honestly, where do we begin? Pitt has just about every alluring quality a man could possibly have–beautiful face, warm smile, nice guy personality–and he’s happily married to boot. The unattainable one–nothing is sexier than that.
The tally so far: No female can forget his electrifying performance bedding Geena Davis in Thelma & Louise. Pitt has tried to erase some of those good looks with his acting choices (12 Monkeys, Fight Club), but then he does a Legends of the Fall, A River Runs Through It or a Spy Game which brings it all back into focus.

Who he plays: Linus Caldwell (The Rookie)–a small-time pickpocket and thief, Linus is the last member of Ocean’s gang to be brought on board. Of course, being that this is his first major job, the gang is anxious to see if he manages to rise to the occasion, or fall flat on his face.
The meltdown factor: Damon would have to be best characterized for his boyish good looks and sparkling blue eyes the ladies can’t resist. Yet, what really stands Damon apart from the others is his sexy and cool intellect which emanates from him.
The tally so far: One can definitely say without question, Damon made solving math problems an infinitely sexy thing to do in the Oscar-winning Good Will Hunting and made you wish his sociopath looking for love in The Talented Mr. Ripley could actually find it.

Who he plays: Terry Benedict (The Target)–the owner of the three casinos Ocean wants to hit. A ruthless entrepreneur, Benedict probably deserves any bad luck which may shortly fall upon him–especially since he stole Ocean’s wife away from him.
The meltdown factor: Garcia has been around for awhile and like a fine wine, his Hispanic good looks and charm just get better with age. There is also an element of danger lurking around his eyes, which makes Garcia even more appealing
The tally so far: The actor has had his fair share of sexy roles, including his smoldering but hunky Vincent in The Godfather Part III and his good guy detective in Internal Affairs. Lately, he’s chosen smaller, more personal roles but in Ocean’s 11, we clearly see Garcia still has it.

Who he plays: Basher Tarr (The Bomber)–the resident munitions and explosives specialist. Always ready for some action, he happily joins the gang for a little fun and relaxation in Las Vegas.
The meltdown factor: Cheadle has got one of those brilliant smiles that when turned on could either mean you are his best friend–or he’s about to bust a cap in you. Cheadle can be very scary and that’s just plain exciting.
The tally so far: A Soderbergh regular and highly respected actor, Cheadle has turned in some head-turning performances, especially in Out of Sight (bad ass) and Traffic (good cop), as well as playing Sammy Davis Jr. sexier than even the old hoofer thought he was.

Who he plays: Turk Malloy (The Getaway)–one half of a brother team (the other being Virgil [Casey Affleck]) who are the drivers in the operation. Obsessed with racing and mechanical cars, these two lighten up the mood with their constant bickering.
The meltdown factor: With the thousand-watt grin and piercing blue eyes, Caan is one of those trigger-happy actors that leaves you a little on edge–but he looks damn cute doing it.
The tally so far: The kid is just starting out, but Caan‘s already made quite an impression in this year’s American Outlaws, playing Cole Younger, and in the quirky thriller Novocaine, playing a punk whose having an incestuous dalliance with his sister. Oh, yeah, that’s sexy.
