ruffalo, yes, but some others...
definitely mark ruffalo
also love me some benicio del toro as well as peter krause when acting in six feet under
and, at the risk of getting too mainstream, denzel washington is always very yummy.

Another vote for Wesley Clark!
How could you leave him out? Gorgeous, fit, SMART and devoted to his wife of 39 years. What's not to love?
Zach Space, the new Greek-American representative from Ohio is pretty cute, if not well known.
Sean Maher (Simon Tam in "Serenity") is gorgeous. Seems nice, too.
Surprised no one thought of Emmitt Smith, football legend and new champion of "Dancing with the Stars" - and all-around nice guy.

chocolate, caramel, chai
Adam Beach (Jim Chee in PBS movies based on Tony Hillerman novels), Javier Bardem, Gael Garcia Bernal, Chiwetel Ejiofor ("Kinky Boots", "Dirty Pretty Things" are 2 of my favs), Benjamin Bratt (Julia Roberts is an idiot), Ice-T (on "Law & Order"), Mohammed Khouas ("Lila Says" is a hot little film), Saïd Taghmaoui, Oded Fehr (the Arab guy from "The Mummy" - nice facial tats!), Chow Yun Fat, the rapper/frontman for Gym Class Heroes, Enrique Muriciano from "Without a Trace"....the list goes on and on...

my criteria for finding a man sexy
Some of the men seem a little perplexed at our choices for what is "sexy." Maybe you're trying to figure this out for your own social purposes...So for what it's worth, here's one thinking woman's guide to what makes a man "sexy"
1) must like sex and emanate that (i.e., will be good in bed!)
2) have a sense of humor and be a little "naughty"
3) be clean (not smelly or dirty)
4) have confidence
5) great voice
6) great voice!!!!
note: Physical perfection is not necessary.

Dude!!
Great list, but how could we forget Jeff Bridges?
And people are right about diversity, and right about Don Cheadle.
-
Sexy if he has a 'there' there!
I agree with so many of the choices, and with several I'm so pleased, relieved and entertained to discover I'm not alone. Used to think I was off the wall somehow for finding someone like Alton Brown appealing when he is the antithesis of eye candy! But the candy boys--Pitt, Cruise, etc--so totally turn me off. . .because, as has been said before--there's no 'there' there! They're just pretty, no character, no personality, no REAL MAN!! My husband is not 'pretty' but he's gorgeous because he's really 'there'. DD

i forgot an unlikely one, dave chappelle!
ok, along with mark ruffalo, benecio del toro, peter krause as nate fisher on six feet under, and denzel washington...
after seeing him perform live at the Punch Line recently, i have come to the realization that dave chappelle, while goofy and silly, is also really sexy! my husband was surprised and shocked by my week-long crush after that show, but dave chappelle is very, very cute IMHO.
-
One more thing...
some upper body strength in the chest and shoulders doesn't hurt either...
-
more! gael garcia bernal and mos def--so sexy
i gotta stop posting.
sorry, i just keep thinking of more and more and more...
and on the topic of mos def, if you disagree, go hear him perform in howard zinn's Voices of a People's History of the US as i did recently, and you'll see what i mean. mmmm mmmm.

Oh, this is fun!
Sendhil Ramamurthy, Mohinder from "Heroes -- So glad someone else mentioned him. He's freakin' beautiful.
We also have Naveen Andrews and Daniel Dae Kim, thank you very much.
Jon Stewart---sigh. So adorable.
Colin Firth -- also delightful.
Females?
Definitely Helen Mirren, Cate Blanchett, Nigella Lawson, Salma Hayek, Jamie Lee Curtis.
What a wonderful world we live in where there are so many variations of beauty...
-
This list is missing a little somethin' somethin'...
...by the name of Paul Rudd. Sweet christ. Me-ow!
I'd have to fight my husband for him though.
Oh, and throw Jason Bateman into that as well.
I think I need some alone time....
-
Of course Mark Ruffalo, but what about...
Joseph Gordon-Leavitt, Steve Carrell and Ameer Haleem from Vh-1's Bands Reunited. And Neil Patrick Harris is hot.
-
Jon Stewart and Alan Rickman? I'm done! no wait, I'm not...
(And add Hugh Laurie in there, do please.) Lovely list, but yes, a bit pale...
Don Cheadle: agreed. Also: Samuel L. Jackson (was there any other reason to see Snakes on a Plane, apart from his obvious delight in it? that by itself is dead sexy), and Morgan Freeman.
And, hello? Chow Yun Fat? There are reasons to be really excited about POTC3, and he's about 5 of them. Also: Ken Watanabe. (Yes, yes: whom? Whether upstaging the short white male star of "The Last Samurai", or playing the romantic lead in the otherwise questionable "Memoirs of a Geisha", he's deserving of way more Hollywood attention than he's gotten so far, because LORD is he HOT.)
Finally, expect to get a lot of head-scratching on this one, but: Edward James Olmos. Some of us keep saying that Papa Adama on the new Battlestar Galactica is sexier than most of the young guns on that show, and if you hold that position, people look at you like you're nuts, but -- truly, give him another look. *swoon*
And please yes: a sequel Sexiest Women feature would not go amiss, if it has the same sensibilities as this one.

Haven't seen Steve Martin or Richard T. Jones mentioned yet...
I was SO pleased to see Alton Brown and Alan Rickman included on the list! BRILLIANT! My own list would have to also include:
~ Steve Martin
~ Richard T. Jones
~ Liam Neeson
~ Jeff Goldblum
-
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Pretty men hold no sway over me. Richard Dawkins? Alan Rickman? Jon Stewart? Stephen Colbert? Youbetchabygolly! Yes to all of them!
Of all the Daily Show guys, though, I must confess. I got it bad for Lewis Black. Real bad. I like 'em really smart, a little edgy and kind of nerdy. And I don't think I'm alone here.
~AS~

Chappelle for sure
I'm glad someobody else agreed with me about Chappelle (even though I misspelled his NAME in my first post - sorry Dave). In addition to seeing him on his show..I saw him on the Live from the Actor's Studio show and was impressed by his intelligence, humor, HONESTY, and the old twinkle in the eye. This man has it (though as I recall he smoked too much..not so sexy)
-
wait, wait, wait...
I have one more: Rainn Wilson, aka Dwight K. Shrute from The Office. He's oddly sexy.

Sacha Cohen is an ass, not not even a very sexy one
Sacha Baron Cohen's "Borat" schtick doesn't strike me as funny or inspired -- far from it actually. Let's dissect what he's really doing with this style of "humor" -- he pretends to be a person from another country/culture, and goes out into the world, acting in a stereotypically schocking way in order to elicit reactions from other people for the camera's amusement. It's not funny. It's condescending, bigoted and disdainful.
Imagine if instead of a suit and some odd facial hair he'd put on blackface and done the same sort of thing? The same people on these pages who are lauding him as a genius would be decrying him as a racist. I don't see a real difference between the "Borat" routine and those hateful, disgusting blackface routines of days gone by. The methods are the same. Neither is funny. And the man who peddles it is hardly sexy.
