Thursday Thirteen: The Sexiest Under the Radar Celebrities

This weeks TT is coming after a few week hiatus. I just couldn't think of any good topics, but then I started to watch a movie with an actor that is quite a hottie but also isn't in all over the place in mags, tv or the web. So my topic this week, is the 13 Sexiest Under the Radar Celebrities. Now don't get me wrong most of these you will know who they are, some you may not. I will link their bio and give a little synopsis of why I chose them. I've included both female and male celebrities, because not only are there some freaking hot men out there, there are also just as beautiful women that don't get enough recognition either.

Remember these are just some that I think should be around more because not only are they beautiful to look at but they are also people I enjoy watching. Please add your own in the comments.

1) Mark Ruffalo born November 22, 1967 in Kenosha, WI

You may know him from movies like 13 Going on 30 and Just Like Heaven. Every time I see him in a new movie I think oh he's so cute I wish he was in more. He's great playing the good guy in all those sappy chick flick movies, you know you watch them too. Though I do have to say I'd like to see him in a movie as the bad guy that would be sexy.

2) Lauren Graham Born March 16, 1967 in Honolulu, Hawaii

Now you all know Lauren from Gilmore Girls I have to say that was one of my favorite shows. I loved her character Lorelai, she was quirky and funny and all around good person and great mom. But I also love her in other movies like Bad Santa and Because I Said So even if I didn't like that movie too much, she was still great. I hope now that Gilmore Girls is over that she won't be one of those actors that disappears.


3) James Lesure born September 21, 1975 in Los Angeles, CA

James Lesure is in one of my favorite shows, Las Vegas, but I first saw him on another show that didn't last too long called For Your Love with Holly Robinson Peete, who played a character named Malena (which happens to be my name just spelt different). He was great on that show and I love him on Las Vegas, his character Mike is funny, handsome and smart. Can't ask for anything better then that.



4) Vanessa Marcil born October 1, 1968 in Indio, CA

I figured since we talked about James Lesure from Las Vegas lets talk about Vanessa Marcil. You may remember her from General Hospital and Beverly Hills 90210, in both those shows she played the Bitch. She has really come to her own in Las Vegas, Vanessa plays the hardball casino host Sam Marquez she is smart, sexy and has a mysterious side to her character that we are only just now getting to know. By the way, she has a son with co-star Brian Austin Green from 90210 (who also is damn sexy in his own right).


5) Jeffrey Donovan born May 11, 1968 in Amesbury, MA

I am watching this new show on USA Network called Burn Notice and I have to say it is one of my new favorites. I love the plot, the characters, and most of all sexy Jeffrey who plays Michael Westen, a spy that for reasons unknown to him or us has had a burn notice put out on him. Michael must figure out who did this and why, but in the mean time to make money he helps regular people out. Jeffrey Donovan is handsome and sexy and you might be wondering where you have seen this man before? Well he guest starred on Crossing Jordan as a special prosecutor searching through old files to make sure no mistake were made at the morgue, though he was only on for about 6 episodes I enjoyed each one and am happy to see him starring in his own new show. I hope we see more of Jeffrey and when I say more I mean shirtless.

6) Laila Ali born December 30, 1977 in Miami, FL

Laila Ali a women who not only is beautiful and sexy she can also knock you the hell out. Laila takes after her father Muhammad Ali she also is undefeated boxer but wait did you know she can dance too. If you missed this years Dancing with the Stars you missed out on Laila showing you that she truely is an elegant, sophisticated woman. She was my 2nd favorite to win, (of course Joey Fatone was my favorite come on you know how I feel about him). I was so happy to see her in all her glory, she really dazzled us and proved that she's not just a boxer who can knock you out but an amazing dancer and performer also. I'd like to see more of Laila I don't know if she will ever transition to a career in showbiz but she sure has the charisma to do so.

7) Channing Tatum born April 26, 1980 in Cullman, AL

Now here's a new hottie out there that if he plays his cards right could explode onto the scene. He made his debut on So You Think You Can Dance in 2006, from there he played smaller parts in movies and television, but exploded onto the scene in the starring role in Step Up. He played Tyler Gage a kid from the wrong side of the tracks forced to do community service at a Maryland school of arts. You can see where this is going, but that's besides the point, the man can move and what a sexy dancer/actor he is. Channing is making a name of himself and it's a good one. I hope that he has a long career in films and we see him often.

8) Holly Marie Combs born December 3, 1973 in San Diego, CA

One of my all time favorite shows was Charmed, though not on anymore I still watch the replays on TNT whenever I get a chance. Three sister witches trying to fight off demons to save innocents how can you not love that. My ex Devon used to pick on me all the time because I would be enthralled by this show. Holly Marie Combs played Piper Halliwell who though was one of the stars of this show didn't get the credit I think she deserved, everyone knows who Shannon Doherty, Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan are partly because they are always in the media, good, bad or crazy. But Holly Marie she stays out of that limelight and that's a smart thing to do. I hope that even though Charmed is no longer on we see more of Holly Marie, she is beautiful, talented and a joy to watch.

9) Kevin Alejandro born April 7, 1976 in San Antonio, TX

Kevin Alejandro is fairly new to the scene, he's played a lot of bit parts and guest spots on shows but hasn't found the right show to star in yet. He was one of the main characters on this year's Drive but Fox cancelled it before it even really got going. I was a bit disappointed by that and unfortunately I don't think he'll be back on Ugly Betty as Santos, Justin's father, he was sadly killed off (or so that is what it seemed on the season finale). This is one new hot hunk of a man, those lips (yeah I have a thing for think juicy lips), those eyes, I hope that if he doesn't come back to Ugly Betty he finds a show that stays on for a long time.

10) Kerry Washington born January 31, 1977 in Bronx, NY

The first time I saw this beautiful actress was in the movie Save the Last Dance, she also had a guest spot on The View, as a co-host I got to know her a bit more on there (yes I watch The View sometimes). She is a beautiful woman and a talented actress, but she also has a great spirit to her, I'd like to see her in more starring roles instead of a minor roles or as the friend or sister. I think she will go far in this business as long as she keeps her head on straight. So far so good.


11) Jensen Ross Ackles born March 1, 1978 in Richardson, TX

With a name like Jensen Ross Ackles how can you not want to get to know more about him (I have a thing for original yet strong names). He plays Dean on the CW show Supernatural. Dean and his brother Sam are on the quest to find the truth... yeah I know but who cares he's hot and so is Sam played by Jared Padalecki who you may remember from Gilmore Girls. Jensen has been on television for awhile and I'm happy that he has finally found a starring role. Plus I hope that he'll be able to transition to the big screen as well if that's what he wants. If you get a chance and like to be scared a bit check out Supernatural I know Melissa doesn't miss an episode.

12) Amanda Bynes born April 3, 1986 in Thousand Oaks, CA

Though I wouldn't say that Amanada Bynes is one of those girls that oozes sex appeal she is a beautiful young actress that is really starting to shine. She has this great smile and great comic ability, she started out with her own variety show called The Amanda Show on Nickelodeon. After The Amanda Show she went on to star on the WBs What I Like About You with Jennie Garth from BH 90210 and now she plays Penny Pingleton in the remake of Hairspray. I think this girl will go far and she seems to get it and at only 21 years she already has made a GOOD name for herself.

13) Jeremy Sisto born October 6, 1974 in Grass Valley, CA

Now Jeremy Sisto is one of those actors you know you've seen in dozens of movies, but you can't place him. He also isn't one of those pretty boy sex symbols but there is a definite sex appeal to him. His dark rugged looks or his ability to switch and play goofy adorable characters. We all remember him as Elton the rich snobby guy from Clueless but he is so much more then that. He has played dark characters as well like in Six Feet Under as the mentally disturbed brother of Brenda and I loved him in Population 436 as the agent from the Census Bureau. Right now I have the movie Unknown at home and the main reason I got it from Netflix was because he was in it. I think Jeremy picks smart roles and really dives deep into his characters, I see him some day winning an Oscar, lets see if it happens.

Well that's it, my 13 sexiest under the radar celebrities tell me yours and let me know what you think.

NOTE: I need help with a topic for next week any suggestions?

What a cool TT List! I love the entire cast of Las Vegas which kind of surprises me that they've all remained under the radar, because it's a really entertaining show and there's a lot of talent on there!!

Happy TT!

I had forgotten about Charmed, I loved Allysa Milano... I guess Hugh Jackman and Orlando Bloom, and Johnny Depp would have to rank up there with my top hotties...
Thanks for stopping by.
