Mark Harmon (57) of NCIS is number 1 on the list. As Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Harmon is as sexy as ever. ‘Cute’ in his younger years starring on St. Elsewhere, Harmon has aged extremely well. In fact, he is even more attractive at 57 than when he was younger. Harmon is the oldest man on the list and walks away with the honors. Yep, he’s sexy!

Did I forget anyone? Who’s your favorite?

You really do have a “sexy man” fetish, don’t ya, girlfriend. LOL
I love em all but you forgot Sam Elliott (64). I’ve had a huge crush on him for several years. For some reason he’s never noticed me. *pout*
MLS…well, I am a woman. And I am alive!
I LOVE Sam Elliott!!! I didn’t realize he was on a current TV show! Which one??? I will tune in immediately!!!!
Yeah, I really like Keifer Sutherland. There’s just something about him, heh. And his honorable lineage, his father being Donald Sutherland.
Oh wait, crap. I’m a GUY. Never mind…
Goodfather – LOL. You crack me up! You’ll have to blog about the sexy ladies…put that on your list – no more posts about having nothing to post about this month, right?
Clooney, now and forever. Also, I’m a sucker for Ray Liotta- that might just be me…
I love John Cusack. I think it’s his awkwardness. I find it charming. And I agree with MLS and Goodfather. Love Sam Elliott and Jack Bauer!
I seem to be suffering more than usual from mental pause. Did I forget to mention that I left you something on my site? Congrats!
Mark Harmon and Henry Ian Cusick. Those are my two faves from the list. HOT! They are the main reasons I watch NCIS and Lost.
Is there a list of TV Women over 40?
I left you some Bloggy Goodness over at my place too from the other day. Did you see it?

Someone else I know did a post on men with shoulder length hair the other day (think Viggo, Keanu, Hugh Jackman, Johnny Depp, Antonio Banderas…..) then I come here and I find this!
It really is hot in here, isn’t it?
Patrick Dempsey. Sigh……..
Darn, I guess I missed the prerequisite that they had to be on primetime. He’s stars in my primetime mind every day so does that count?
MLS – I think it does count!
KJ – I could work on a list of women over 40 – but might leave that task to Goodfather. Of course, I’d top the list, right? LOL
I totally agree about Mark Harmon. I think I fell for him during his time on Chicago Hope and was ecstatic to see him back on TV in NCIS.
I also think Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Denny from Grey’s) should be on that list. His eyes… *faint*
Also, Hugh Laurie (House), Thomas Gibson (Criminal Minds), and (not sure if he’s quite 40 yet… but) Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from New Amsterdam.
And I wish he was still on TV….Mandy Patinkin.
I agree with you, he is such a doll. I’ve watched him “grow up” also and have enjoyed the ride.
I have a little gift to pass back to you over on my blog, because you definately “kreativ”. Stop by and pick it up, and keep writing. You make me smile so often!
Have you seen Joe Flanigan? John Sheppard from Stargate Atlantis…oh my gosh..that is hot, hot, hot… 42 years old of goodness…I can’t believe he is not in the list. Take a look and let me know if I am not right. Who is the man…?
