6 Sexy, Shirtless Reasons to Watch Texas Rising

Texas Rising is The History Channel's miniseries about Texas's revolution against Mexico and the creation of the Texas Rangers, but if you zoned out thinking about all that history, there are plenty of other reasons to watch. Let's start with the stars: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Trevor Donovan, Max Thieriot, and more rugged men anchor the series, and they all have this habit of taking their shirts off. It's better to show than tell, so without further ado: meet your new heartthrobs of the Old West.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan bares his abs.

90210's Trevor Donovan plays Kit Acklin.

The only thing better than a shirtless shot is a shirtless horseback ride.

Even the horse is psyched.

Max Thieriot also strips stars in this miniseries.

Along with his pecs.

What a lovely outdoor shower (and view).
