(LIST) History's 50 Hottest TV Actors (19-15)!

What follows is a list of History's 50 Hottest TV Actors, according to Boy Culture. Feel free to chime in with the guys you think I left out, the ones I love who you hate and with any corrections. In the Next 2 weeks, find out who is #1!

#19 Matt Bomer (1977—) Has to be one of TV's all-time greatest "face men." The fact that he's openly gay can not be lost on the legions of teenage boys coming to terms with their sexualities the way guys from my era did when we had to pretend our idols might be gay (even when so many were!) since zero of them were out. Guiding Light (2001—2003), Tru Calling (2003—2004), Traveler (2007), Chuck (2007—2009), White Collar (2009—)

#18 Scott Bakula (1954—) Who was really watching Quantum Leap for the stories? Bakula is like the hot dad in your neighborhood when you were growing up, the one you wished was your own dad—but then were really glad wasn't. Gung Ho (1986—1987), Designing Women (1986—1988), Eisenhower & Lutz (1988), Quantum Leap (1989—1993), Murphy Brown (1993—1996), Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1996—1997), Star Trek: Enterprise (2001—2005), The New Adventures of Old Christine (2006—2010), Men of a Certain Age (2009—2011)

#17 Mark Harmon (1951—) The bonus of having Mark Harmon on St. Elsewhere was that there was no need to claim him as a sex symbol—that was entirely the point. His character banged every woman in sight, allowing the viewer to imagine his off-screen time as some combination of screwing and trying to get semen out of undergarments. Alas, he didn't spend any of that time rubbering up—he became the first character on a TV show to be diagnosed with HIV. The real Harmon went on to be just as hot in a variety of other series and in the movies and to perform real-life heroics from time to time. Sam (1977—1978), Centennial (1978—1979), 240-Robert (1979—1980), Flamingo Road (1980—1982), St. Elsewhere (1983—1986), Reasonable Doubts (1991—1993), Charlie Grace (1995—1996), Chicago Hope (1996—2000), NCIS (2003—)

#16 Tony Dow (1945—)  As the Beaver's big bro, Dow was all kinds of hot, made all the more so by his antiseptic surroundings. They say WWII brought homosexuals together and inadvertently helped spawn the gay movement. But Tony Dow brought homosexuals together, too, around their TVs; he may not be personally responsible for Stonewall or anything, but if he were a drag queen, we'd call him "sickening!" Leave It to Beaver (1957—1963), Mr. Novak (1963—1965), Never Too Young (1965—1966), The New Leave It to Beaver (1983—1989)

#15 Hugh O'Brian (1923—) This guy was just straight-up handsome as Wyatt Earp, a man's man you'd love to engage in a little gunplay any day of the week. He didn't get married until he was 81 so there's hope for us all. The Loretta Young Show (1954—1955), The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp (1955—1961), Search (1972—1973)
