(LIST) History's 50 Hottest TV Actors (9-5)!

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. Tomorrow, find out who is #1!

#9 Chris Meloni (1961—) A he-man, but one with a sense of humor that allows the gay viewer to read him as queer, Meloni's neo-machismo and paleo-hot body just won't quit. 1st & Ten: The Championship (1989—1990), The Fanelli Boys (1990—1991), Dinosaurs (voice of "Spike" 1991—1994), The Boys (1993), Misery Loves Company (1995), NYPD Blue (1996—1997), Leaving L.A. (1997), Oz (1998—2003), Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999—2011)

#8 John Travolta (1954—) As impossible as it is to imagine wanting to be intimate with John Travolta now, back in the '70s when he was anchoring Welcome Back Kotter (which should've been called I Can't Wait for Barbarino's Scenes), there were very few around who were finer. Plus he was funny. And could dance! Welcome Back, Kotter (1975—1979), The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)





 

#7 Joe Manganiello (1976—) From the Jon-Erik Hexum school of pure beef, Joe is a joltin' physical specimen, one of the closest to Muscle Beachdom in TV history. One Tree Hill (2008—2010), How I Met Your Mother (2006—2012), True Blood (2010—)

#6 Hart Bochner (1956—) One of the most beautiful male faces on the big screen or small, he never became a household name in spite of working steadily from the late '70s on. He always looked better suited to being a model, but his presence made several otherwise dreary TV mini-series quite bearable. East of Eden (1981), War and Remembrance (1988—1989), The Starter Wife (2008)

#5 Brian Bloom (1970—) I first fell for him when we were teenagers—he was so smokin' hot on his soap I was surprised he could be broadcast in the daytime. Back then, I never could have imagined that in 20 or 25 years he'd be buck-naked in a prison shower on television. Makes me wonder what we'll be watching during the "family hour" 20 years from now. As the World Turns (1983—1987), 2000 Malibu Road (2000), Oz (2001)
