Elijah Wood
Lord of the Rings, The Faculty

Why?  Well, cuz he's Frodo Baggins!   I mean, HAIRY FEET!   It's all good.  Also, he's a very talented actor.  Pretty blue eyes.  Yeah.  Except people say he puffs the ol' cancer stick, which just slightly deters my admiration for a guy who started out as some little kid and worked his way up to the big one.  Don't believe me?  Look at it this way: he was in the movie The Good Son opposite Macaulay Culkin (Home Alone).  Culkin isn't doing much right now, whereas Wood here is doing a lot.  So compare the two.

Hugh Dancy
Black Hawk Down

It's all about the hair.  *Fluff!* *blink*  But who knows.  Maybe he'll be around...I predict.  (inside joke!!!)

Billy Crudup
Almost Famous, Charlotte Gray

Yeah, he's a bit older than your ideal teen idol, but he's got wide eyes and talent.  So he's not an idol.  But he's a good actor.

Jonathan Jackson
Deep End of the Ocean, Tuck Everlasting

Okay, this guy has been in daytime soaps (ech), mostly, but I have a feeling he's going to get more popular, and pretty soon....  Got that?  (Karen, whadaya think?)

Sean Biggerstaff
Harry Potter

I have included Sean Biggerstaff for Carmelle, Karen, and everyone else who seemed to extremely enjoy his performance in the Harry Potter movie.  Like, extremely.  Well, okay.  Mark wants to point out that his last name is very very punny.  *ahem*  Mark also wants to let it known that he enjoys making jokes about Sean Biggerstaff's last name.  *ahem*  Mark says he has a  bigger staff than Biggerstaff.

Colin Farrell
Hart's War, Minority Report, Daredevil, Phone Booth

Definitely one of the most underrated actors out there, but his performance in Minority Report was...very impressive.  And he's got stage charisma, like Civky said, and his hair is never "pop artist".  I just hope he doesn't get typecast, but with that weird forehead in Daredevil, I doubt it.

Harrison Ford
Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Blade Runner, Patriot Games, Witness, The Fugitive, Air Force One

Definitely not underrated, this guy is probably my favorite actor.  Nearly all his characters are heroic archetypes, but he manages to add a spark of life to all the movies he makes.  Harrison Ford is...da bomb.  (But you were watching him already, weren't you?)  and (he's wearing baby blue!)

Guy Pearce
Memento, The Time Machine, L.A. Confidential, The Count of Monte Cristo

Talented guy from the Down Under who walks around with that weird glint in his eyes.  Very interesting performance as a guy with a bad memory in Memento.  Even better as the vindictive best friend in the otherwise so-so Count movie.  One of the best actors Australia has to offer.

J. August Richards
Angel

Probably one of the most talented actors on the WB.  Which isn't saying much, but whatever.  I really feel he deserves better than the teenybopper network.  He did catch my eye with that one episode of Angel that I was bored enough to watch.  Unfortunately, the silly plot wasn't enough to draw me back for the next episode.  I did note this guy, and I'll note him again and hope it wasn't just that episode.

Rider Strong
"Boy Meets World", Cabin Fever

I was very depressed when Boy Meets World was cancelled.  It has always been my favorite TV show of all time (tied with Pinky and the Brain).  My favorite character on the show was played by this guy on your left.  Very very good performance pumped out of him for nearly every single episode.  What's interesting is he stopped acting to go to Columbia University, he's a vegetarian, he writes, and he is involved in a lot of anti-smoking campaigns.  And he likes Star Wars.  I will continue to monitor this talented actor with great interest.  (I put up a small picture on purpose.  I admire his talent, not his looks.  He looks good, but I'm not gonna show it here. But by all means, look him up online.  He even answers fan e-mail.)

Christian Bale
Empire of the Sun, Newsies, Reign of Fire, Pocahontas, American Psycho

Christian Bale rocks.  A very, very, talented guy, and he can sing, too.  His accents are very very believable.  His official site says he uses a different accent for every movie.  Okay then.  Well, I was pretty stunned by his performance in Empire of the Sun, but then I found out the movie was from a decade ago and that little kid was all grown up.  He's still in the business and garnering rave reviews.  Which makes him, oh, probably the most underrated actor in the industry.

Evan and Jaron
Song artists

I don't know how to describe their music.  I just know it's good.  I mean, it works on the pop stations, but it's not pop.  And it's very refreshing to see them playing their guitars in the music video, as opposed to dancing around scantily dressed women.  They're twins, which mean's they're twice as talented as the average one man stand.  The closest I'll get to country music.  Hooray.

David Gallagher
"Seventh Heaven"

Carmelle suggested him.  So I said, "okay, why not."  I remember watching 7th Heaven when it just premiered, and he was just some random kid on TV.  Boy was I wrong.  People are obsessed with him now.  He's a not bad actor, and I hope he doesn't walk around branded as 'the guy from 7th Heaven' for the rest of his life.  That's a fate I wouldn't wish on anyone.  (he's wearing baby blue.  I told you it works!)  (I know everyone is screaming "take him out!  take him out!"  haha too bad.)

Johnny Depp
Sleepy Hollow, Edward Scissorhands, Reality Bites, Neverland

Definitely has the "I'm a brooding guy with high cheekbones" archetype down to an art.  His personal habits are...questionable, but I guess I'll ignore that because he's a good actor.  Even if River Phoenix did...oh, blah.  I have to admit he's good.  Which is why he is here and Keanu isn't, even though both are junkies.

Aaron Stanford
X-Men, X², Tadpole

He looks really young in this picture, but he's actually in his early twenties or something like that.  This is totally hearsay, but he's getting rave reviews for Tadpole...(must find a theater showing it).  With the sequel to that other big movie he was in coming out in 2003...well, I personally believe that he has great things in store for him.  Time will tell.

Kevin Zegers
Air Bud

Well, I suppose we'd all feel sorry for this guy if he wasn't so good looking.  By way of prominence, he hasn't done much besides Air Bud.  Three of them.  So you're right, this is more of an inside joke than anything else.  =D  *waves at Kathy*  He may have been in corny movies, but he has big muscles.  How's that for talent.  He is the best looking loser ever, no offense intended.  Now get your ass out there and make movies that don't involve sports and yellow animals.  Popularity will go up.

Sean Patrick Flannery
Young Indiana Jones, Simply Irresistible, The Boondock Saints

Well, he'll always be 'that guy' to me.  He did a fun job as Young Indiana Jones.  I mean, it's hard to top Harrison Ford.  The other SPF movie that comes to mind is this chick flick one about magical culinary delights that I had the misfortune to watch on HBO  (how did that happen?).  Well, then there's this other movie where he walks around with an Irish accent and does bad things like murdering criminals.  So that is why Sean Patrick Flannery, although obscure, rocks.

For Ellen and Karen.  Dean.  Hooray.  Pretty good actor, I've only seen snippets of his TV show though, so who am I to say anything.  I've heard that he's a straight A student.  So brains, talent, and looks should get him going somewhere.  Ah, Hollywood.

Damn.  It must be hard being a kid star turned adult.  Everyone loves you.  They even make parody sites of you.  Poor Devon Sawa.  *sob-sniffle*  

But yeah, he's pretty--I mean, a pretty good actor.  (he's wearing baby blue!)

Kathy really enjoyed his work in Dark Angel.  I can't say I disagree.  I'm getting tired of typing comments actually.  So no analysis here.  But Kathy really enjoyed his...work.  In Dark Angel.  (he looks stoned.)

He sounds like Dave Matthews and his songs kick ass.  People say he's for old people, but if you ask Linda she'll disagree.  His stuff is nice and mellow and perfect.  (I put a picture of him in action because he's a performer.  He's a looker, but you go look for him yourself.  =P  I'd much rather you download his music, to be honest)

He started his career playing a gay teen on a soap opera.  Now he's married to Resse Witherspoon.  He's gone far.  He was going to be Anakin in Episode 2 but lost the job for being too old.

One of the most talented actors out there.  I mean, he was nominated for an Academy Award.  Yet, they forgot him.  Silly YM.

Funny, Emmy-nominated star who got here for his talent instead of his looks.  He looks young for his age, so he'll age slower.  =P  Lucky guy.  Nearly everyone can sympathize with his Malcolm character.  So he's here because and not there because YM is neglectful.

He's basically redefined Obi-Wan Kenobi from a philosophy sprouting old coot to a...well...an asswhooper.  I have no quarrel with that.  And then there's his other character, the mopey, dopey, love struck writer from Moulin Rouge.  His performance was glorious.  His voice ain't bad either. 

Emmy winner for his performance as James Dean, Goblin's son...well, James Franco's got a bright career ahead of him.  Actually, he can retire now.  I mean, he's got an award and he did Spidey.  That's really good.  Enough to make many people happy.

Wow.   Matt Damon has done a lot.  I just realized that.  I mean, he plays this totally evil dude in The Talented Mr. Ripley, a rookie thief in Oceans 11, a pratty schoolboy in School Ties, hero of the galaxy in Titan A.E., and doesn't know who he is in The Bourne Identity.  And he won an Oscar for writing.  Pretty cool rise and claim to fame.  He dumped Minnie Driver on national television, so I guess I don't like him.  But I sure like his work.

He was going to play the role of Wolverine in X-Men, but MI:2 didn't let him.  Doesn't matter.  He's still delivered great performances in everything I've seen him in.  I want him as the next James Bond.

He was the scary pretty guy in Not Another Teen Movie.  He has a shot at being the next Shane West?  Iono.  I mean, he has the eye catching looks...but I want to see him demonstrate talent without riding on the looks, so time will tell if this entry in my shallow list stands up to scrutiny, eh?  Oh. Uh, nicely plucked eyebrows, but watch the eye shadow and mascara.  (Um, all you estrogen brigade people can go to his website.  I'm not going to put up any pictures of guys without shirts.  so I opted out.  his hair is different, now.  Like, spiky cool.)

Currently my favorite male ice skater.  He left the amateur circuit for the professionals, though.  oh well.  He also was in this one movie that I didn't watch called Center Stage.  He looks sort of good looking off the ice, too, but I think this picture really works to demonstrate his talent and performance personality.  *shrug*  Once again, if you want pretty pictures, look on Google.  I think that's crazy.  I can't even do that on the ground.  I wonder if his hands ever get frostbite.

Carmelle said I absolutely had to stick this guy into my listing, so I kindly obliged.  He's currently the most bestest talented American male ice skater in the entire world, and it has been fun watching him grow up through ice skating on the telly.  He really seems to get better and better every year.  But I won't gush on so.  Go to Carmelley for the details.

If you've never seen this guy on screen, I immensely pity you.  In fact, I wonder why I forgot him in the first round of people to watch, because he's truly remarkable.  I have yet to pick up his novel...but I love Gattaca...it's a great movie.  Snow Falling on Cedars was a so-so movie, but his character really stood out.  And then most of you have seen Training Day.  Great actor.  Married to Uma for a while and hasn't divorced her yet either, which is pretty good for any Hollywood guy.  Then again, it's Uma , guys are like ga-ga about her, he'd be an idiot to ditch her.  (this picture is of him in his late teens, I think.  Nowadays he usually has chin fur.)

This guy has always been fun to watch.  I remember watching him flap his arms in the idealistically corny but still nice movie about those Angels.  Even if the movie was just a big commercial to advertise Disney's baseball team.  And then he went on to become Tommy Solomon.  Stellar.  And he has interesting eyes.  They're like, trapezoidal. 

Trent Reznor
lead singer of Nine Inch Nails

No angry feelings to ym for not putting this god on their list, he doesn't exactly like teen press, and who could blame him (have you seen one of those mags recently?!?!) (note from minna:  yes.  I have.  that's how i made this completely shallow, contrived and unethical list).. He has recorded 4 albums and 13 EPs. Remixed singles from everyone from Puff Daddy, Notorious B.I.G., N.E.R.D., to Nelly Furtado. A total of 179 songs made from his Nine Inch Nails projects. Founded his own record label. He is also producing the upcoming Doom 3 soundtrack. www.nin.com

(this is from Adam, by the way.)

Gregory Smith
The Patriot, "Everwood", Small Soldiers

Okay, so he hasn't done much.  This is another so there page.  This is the guy who was shot in that Mel Gibson movie.  You know, Nick, the one I said looked like my friend?  Well, he doesn't look like him here.  The reason I added this guy in is because I think he will become very popular in the near future.  I could be very very wrong.  Oh well.  But yes.  Here he is.  And you gotta love that cherry red lipstick they slapped on him *headache*.  As Karen would say, "oy vey".

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt
A lot of movies (some of them bad.)

I can't believe YM forgot these two handsome, well dressed blokes!  Oh yeah, the blonde is Tom and the brunette is Brad.  A very unflattering photograph from Interview with a Vampire.  I think it's very silly.  But yeah, they're cultural icons, and I can't believe you forgot them, YM!!!

You guys do know I did this with my tongue in my cheek, right?

Did I forget anyone?  If so, tell me!!!  =P

Franco
Guinea Pig

He is one of the sexiest creatures on the planet.  Enough said.
