We fell in love with Chris O'Dowd after his good-cop role in Bridesmaids.

We know Northern Irish hottie Jamie Dornan for his role as Sheriff Graham in Once Upon a Time, but besides acting, he's also a musician and a model, having founded an Irish folk music label and modeled for Calvin Klein.

He may play Sherlock Holmes's evil archenemy, Jim Moriarty, in the BBC series Sherlock, but we can't help but be mesmerized by those piercing eyes.
