24 Hot TV Characters Who Would Be Perfect Valentines This Year

Sam Heughan, a ginger pillar of physical perfection, always acts the hell out of every scene he's in as Jamie on the hit Starz show. His emotional moments with Claire and his unwavering faith in their relationship, no matter what gets thrown their way, easily nab him a spot amongst TV's most crushable dudes.

Newcomer Stella (Ruby Rose) causes plenty of trouble at Litchfield Penitentiary for Alex and Piper, but no one can deny her bad girl persona has hearts racing nonstop throughout all of the prison dramedy's third season. She's so hot that even though this list is dedicated to dudes, we're making an exception for this sexy lady.

Well-spoken, well-dressed vampire Elijah (Daniel Gillies) remains perennially crushable on The Originals. He's so cute, in fact, it just might be enough to forgive his unfortunate predilection for chowing down on humans.

Luke Cage (Mike Colter) made his smoldering debut on the Netflix series Jessica Jones in November, and it's safe to say we've fallen hard. His character is inhumanly strong, insanely gorgeous, and the way he cares about the show's heroine (Krysten Ritter) is enough to make the most cold-hearted Marvel villain melt. With his own Netflix show on the way, there is thankfully a whole lot more Luke on the way.

When news hit that Daario Naharis's character had been recast, Game of Thrones fans appropriately freaked. As soon as they saw actor Michiel Huisman's perfect face, however, all was well. Daario did his best to win over Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) this season, and in the process we got to see him in various states of undress episode after episode. Will he be able to rescue Dany in season six? With a butt like his, how could her captors ever say no?

Newcomer Jake McLaughlin has Quantico fans wrapped around his finger as Ryan on the hit ABC show. From the moment him and Alex (Priyanka Chopra) hook up in his car in episode one, to the time he bravely steps in to save fellow agent Simon Asher from getting killed, it's clear Ryan is destined for heartthrob greatness.

Despite the fact that Supernatural has been soldiering on through weird storyline after weird storyline for a decade now, our crush on Dean (Jensen Ackles) has never wavered. Just look at that smile!

The other half of primetime's most well-known brother duo, Sam (Jared Padalecki), has fans flocking to Supernatural in droves. His fierce loyalty to his brother, his dark humor, and the fact he literally went to hell and back are all reasons why we can't help but love the younger Winchester brother.

Dwayne Johnson absolutely rocks it (get it?!) as Spencer on HBO's Ballers, a former professional football player turned financial advisor and yoda to NFL superstars.

Connor (Jack Falahee) has swagger and witty remarks for days, but it's his sweet relationship with boyfriend Oliver (Conrad Ricamora) that keeps us swooning.

Charlie Cox shot to superstardom last year with his role in Netflix's Daredevil. Playing blind lawyer/vigilante Matt Murdock, Cox wowed us time and time again with top-notch action sequences and boatloads of sexual tension with love interest Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson).

True Detective's Officer Paul Woodrugh is no Tim Riggins, but Taylor Kitsch gives it his best shot by heaping on the shirtless scenes in the gritty thriller.

We're convinced Ryan Murphy dreamt up Scream Queens frat boy Boone (Nick Jonas) to serve purely as a thirst trap. Everything about the character, from those scantily clad lifting scenes to the way his biceps filled out an argyle polo, will stay with us forever.

Chad Radwell (Glen Powell) is arguably the best part about Scream Queens, from his bangin' bod to his outrageous one-liners. Sign us up for the next class of Dickie Dollar Scholars, please and thanks.

Captain Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) is wickedly sexy, and his romance with Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) is beyond hot.

Kevin Garvey (Justin Theroux) is a fan favorite on The Leftovers, and between his perfectly tousled hair and the way he looks in his police uniform, we understand why.

Barry's hopeless romanticism, loyalty to his friends, and cute smile make him more desirable every time we see him. He's basically like a golden retriever puppy. A superfast golden retriever puppy. That we want to date.

Any time Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) does one of those crazy pull-ups, an angel gets its wings. The sexy superhero has rock-hard abs, a deep love for his sister, and killer skills with a bow, all of which make him one of our biggest crushes day in and day out.

Rami Malek burst onto the scene last year as Elliot in Mr. Robot, and if you look past the character's minor bouts of schizophrenia and illegal activity, the quirky computer genius is hard not to love.

Where, oh where, do we start when it comes to Jon Snow? The hair that blows majestically in the wind on top of the wall . . . the way he fights for what he believes in, no matter the consequences . . . his beautiful, doomed relationship with Ygritte . . . the list could literally go on for days. Jon, played by Kit Harington, is our forever crush, so if he doesn't return to the show in season six, HBO will have hell to pay.
