I decided to write this article because I recently started watching the Tudors on Netflix, and the #1 guy on this list immediately caught my eye. I became kind of obsessed, to the point where I made him my screensaver and have gone through 4-5 episodes of the Tudors on a typical Sunday (they are each an hour long, by the way). In any case, I thought that Her Campus readers should share in my TV joy.
1. Hottest Nobleman: Henry Cavill
Charles Brandon, “The Tudors”
Duke of Suffolk? More like Duke of Sexy. The real Duke’s portrait on Wikipedia (yeah, I looked, sue me) doesn’t hold a candle to the hotness of the actor who plays him (and is playing Superman in the upcoming movie).

2. Hottest Castaway: Matthew Fox
Jack Shephard, “LOST”
The show itself may have confused me to the point where I stopped watching, but I did happen to catch the series finale, where I thought everything would finally be explained. Nope. Oh well… at least the episodes I did manage to follow were made more interesting by Dr. Jack Shephard. (Side note: he’s a Wyoming cowboy at heart who majored in economics at Columbia. YUP.)
3. Hottest Athlete: Taylor Kitsch
Tim Riggins, “Friday Night Lights”
I knew I would get mobbed, and possibly tarred and feathered, if I didn’t add Taylor to this list. My friends all said from the beginning, “Don’t forget Tim Riggins!!” I’ve never actually seen Friday Night Lights (gasp!), but from what I’ve heard, it’s addicting, and I probably shouldn’t start watching, because I won’t want to stop.

4. Hottest Teacher: Ian Harding
Ezra Fitz, “Pretty Little Liars”
Hot for teacher? Aria’s love interest on ABC Family’s hit show pretty much sums up what a perfect AP English class would be like (without the AP English part, of course). Fun fact: he was born in Germany!
5. Hottest Special Agent: Shemar Moore
Derek Morgan, “Criminal Minds”
To me, he kind of looks like a mix of Drake and Usher, which is in no way a bad thing. Moore signed on with “Criminal Minds” in 2005, after having worked on “The Young and the Restless” and as a host of “Soul Train.”

6. Hottest Guy My Mom Could Date: Jon Hamm
Don Draper, “Mad Men”
This man just exudes swag, all day, every day. Chain-smoking Don Draper brings 1960s suburban America to life on “Mad Men,” while somehow appealing to women of all ages.
7. Hottest Guy in a Vampire Series: Ryan Kwanten
Jason Stackhouse, “True Blood”
Resident bad boy and ladies’ man of fictional Bon Temps, Louisiana, Ryan plays the brother of telepathic Sookie Stackhouse (played by Anna Paquin). He somehow manages to find himself at the center of a few murder cases in the first season, but we can overlook that small detail. I mean… look at those eyes. (Fun fact: he’s actually Australian!)

8. Hottest Socialites: Penn Badgley/Chace Crawford
Dan Humphrey/Nate Archibald, “Gossip Girl”
Okay, so Ed Westwick had to be a runner-up, only because of his overdramatic voice, ridiculous suits, and lasers-for-eyes that always seem to be saying, “Hey baby.” Penn and Chace, however, I have no issues with. Eye-candy galore for us little people who sit for an hour each week and watch the drama of their beautiful lives unfold.
9. Hottest Pot Dealer: Hunter Parrish
Silas Botwin, “Weeds”
Besides starring in Spring Awakening on Broadway, Hunter, I discovered, is one of those actors you spot in random movies and say, “Hey! I know him! Where is he from again?” (Does RV, Freedom Writers, or Sleepover ring any bells?)
10. Hottest Reality TV Star: Brody Jenner
Ok, so sometimes he can seem like a complete tool, but I added him on the list for a few reasons. Some of these are 1) the absurd amount of TV shows he somehow finds his way onto, 2) the numerous random women he seems to date (Avril Lavigne? What?), and 3) his ability to never lose his cool. He knows he’s fresh (he’s Bruce Jenner’s son and the Kardashian sisters’ step-brother, after all), but I can forgive him for his egotistical antics.
CLOSE RUNNER-UPS:
Ed Westwick, Chuck Bass “Gossip Girl”
Ian Somerhalder, Damon Salvatore “Vampire Diaries”
Jesse Spencer, Dr. Robert Chase “HOUSE”
Josh Holloway, James Sawyer “LOST”
