He’s No George Clooney, But He Could Get It: 9 Of Our Random White Boy Crushes

John Slattery

I already love “Mad Men” because of the complex story lines and the acting, but I’m also feeling it because of the eye candy! And no, I’m not just talking about Jon Hamm (he IS hot though…). John Slattery plays Roger Sterling, a partner at the advertising agency, Sterling Cooper, and with his mixture of swag and the fly ensembles he wears, I couldn’t help but notice he’s kind of got it going on! And after continuously seeing him in Lincoln ads and in The Adjustment Bureau (great movie), I became an even bigger fan. Maybe it’s the Richard Gere-esque white hair, I don’t know, but he’s definitely handsome.

Dylan McDermott

Uh, who else was a HUGE “The Practice” fan? Dylan McDermott with his blue eyes and dark brown hair has had it going on since his days in Steel Magnolias (THROWBACK!), his voice is even very swexy. If you’re a fan of his good looks and acting prowess, you can catch your boy on “American Horror Story,” or, you can be a creeper like moi and just gawk through his Google Images page for all the goodness he has to offer.

Christopher Meloni

You might not know the name, but if you’ve found yourself indoors on a Saturday afternoon tuned into USA, you know the face from “Law & Order: SVU” marathons. Christopher Meloni played Elliot Stabler, a very angry, take charge, protect-my-family-and-my-friends-by-any-means-necessary kind of guy, and that’s probably what makes him some kind of wonderful to me (and a few of my co-workers). I’m sad he left the show, and even more sad that he’s already out on “True Blood” too, but we’ll always have rainy Saturday SVU marathons, boo!

Dominic West

As much as I had a love/hate relationship with Dominic West’s character of Jimmy McNulty on “The Wire” (good guy who made dumb a** decisions), I definitely thought he was a cutie after catching up on all five seasons of the show in like a month. And that’s saying a lot for a cast that included some very delicious brothas too (Idris Elba, Wood Harris, Seth Gilliam, etc.). And now that I know that the man is British in real life, he gets extra cool points for having a sick and swexy accent.

Alex O’Loughlin

If I asked my friends if they knew my boo Alex O’Loughlin, they, like most people, would probably say, “WHO!?” But if you don’t know or haven’t seen this guy, ladies, you’re missing out. The star of CBS’s rebooted version of “Hawaii 5-0” is mad delicious, and his ab game is on point. With all the action the show requires of his character, I’m definitely impressed with what he’s working with.

Dermot Mulroney

I’ve thought Mr. Mulroney was hot stuff since I randomly found myself watching “My Best Friend’s Wedding” years and years ago (and that was in the ’90s…). Another awesome movie by the way. Anywho, blame it on the mysterious stare, the warm smile, the hair–whatever it is, this guy is too cute and cool for school. And after appearing on one of my favorite TV shows this year, “New Girl,” I have an even bigger appreciation for his swexy self.

Ralph Fiennes

When you play Lord Voldemort, a Nazi and a murderer, it’s hard for people to look at you as anything close to attractive, but there’s just something about Ralph that we love. Maybe it’s his talents as an amazing actor, or the fact that I clearly have a thing for a fella with a fierce British accent, but I’m a fan. He was delicious as a young man appearing in epic movies like The English Patient and Quiz Show, and as he’s aged, he’s still a pretty good looking guy. Maybe that’s why he was J.Lo of all people’s love interest in Maid in Manhattan.

Adrian Brody

I don’t care what anybody says, Adrian Brody with his thin frame and beak nose could still get it. And it was pretty much confirmed by me when he kissed Halle Berry at the Academy Awards like it was his last day on earth. Even if she was married to Eric Benet at the time, homegirl just doesn’t want to admit that she was digging that lip lock. His talent is what I think really makes him attractive, but he’s not too bad on the eyes either. Just my opinion though.

Who would you add to the list?
