10 Sexiest Men on Television

Number 1: Alias' Michael Vartan

by David A. Keeps

Scans thanks to Christine. :)

Michael says, "The number one quality I look for in a woman is someone who's friendly."

Why We Love Him: His soulful green eyes, a dimpled chin and a perpetual case of bed-head.

What's His Story: A hockey fan who still plays two or three times a week, Vartan, 33, born in France, took acting lessons at the suggestion of his mother.

"She thought I'd make friends," he recalls. "I thought I'd meet girls." After appearing in French films, he made a big impression on Drew Barrymore, who fought to have him play her teacher/lover in Never Been Kissed.

What's His Status: He's never been hitched, although he was involved with actress Shannon Gleason for 10 years.
