James Marsden has been gracing Hollywood with his very handsome presence for more than 20 years, and along with some memorable appearances on screen, James has had more than a few sexy moments off screen, too. Back in the '90s, he played small parts on popular TV shows like Saved by the Bell [1]: The New Class, Blossom, and Party of Five, later starring in films like X-Men and Zoolander before making fans swoon with his turn in The Notebook. (No, his character didn't stand a chance against Ryan Gosling [2]'s Noah, but that tearjerking Notebook romance [3] wouldn't have been the same without Allie's sexy fiancé, right?)
