You folks: So predictable with your crush love. Yesterday’s Hottest Television Crushes — Supporting Actor and Actress Edition basically confirmed what we already knew: The ladies love Alexander Skarsgård the mostest, while both the men and women are nearly equally in lust with Alison Brie and Christina Hendricks, who are currently only a percentage point apart, with Sofia Vergara not too far behind (Katie Aselton’s 3 percent probably reflects all the times I voted for her).
So, today, in the hopes that things will not align so predictably, we turn to Hottest Television Crushes — Lead Actor and Actress Edition, where once again I will force you to choose one among many that you want to put in your pocket and take home. And then put in your dungeon. I especially enjoy the idea of imagining many of the womenfolk wrestling with which of the first three men on the list to choose before resorting to a game of Marry, Fuck, Kill, while someone else in the category comes out on top because those three split. I also wasn’t going to include any British television, but I couldn’t’ resist but to include a couple, if only to raise the degree of difficulty.
I also apologize in advance for all the people I had to leave out in an attempt to hold the nominees to eight in each category. Lots of worthy folks got left out.
