Orlando Bloom
As Legolas, he's the Fellowship's most swoonworthy elf. In real life, he's People Sexiest Man material and husband to a Victoria's Secret model.
Viggo Mortensen
He's tall, dark and handsome as Aragorn, mysterious swordsman and eventual king. Viggo's IMDb page is packed with similarly sexy-badass roles.
Karl Urban
Éomer arrives at Helm's Deep an outcast...but like the hottest outcast ever. Which might be because he's played by a red-hot New Zealander. Must be something in the water.
Benedict Cumberbatch
It was never a mystery why the ladies loved Mr. Cumberbatch on Sherlock. It may be a bit more of a challenge playing sexy as The Hobbit's Smaug. Who, FYI, is a dragon.
Richard Armitage
Thorin Oakenshield, the leader of the dwarves, is, uh...he's not terrible looking. But we far prefer Armitage's groomed red carpet look.
Ian McKellen
Gandalf, the greatest wizard in probably all of pop culture (sorry, Harry Potter), is as badass as they come, in white or grey. The stylish, classy McKellen ain't half bad either.
Dominic Monaghan
He's more adorable than Abercrombie, but Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck is the cutest hobbit of the gang. And Dominic is one of our favorite Lost castaways too!
Elijah Wood
If pint-size Shire dwellers with hairy feet are your thing, then might we direct you to Mr. Frodo Baggins. If you prefer a bit taller and with less cloaks, then the Wilfred star might be more your taste.
Martin Freeman
As Bilbo Baggins, he's the epitome of hobbitness. And in real life he's kinda hobbity too! But he's cute and the star of this new trilogy, so that counts for something.
David Wenham
Here's a hero who's equally easy on the eyes both in Middle-earth and real life. As wise nobleman Faramir, he leads men into battle against Sauron in The Two Towers and Return of the King.
Lee Pace
Hey, daddy! Elvenking Thranduil is father to Legolas (see: also hot) and might just one-up his son in terms of beautiful golden locks. Who's played by our favorite pie-maker, Pushing Daisies' Pace.
Bret McKenzie
Here's another hot elf! Lindir of Rivendell has an appreciation for fine music and poetry (especially Bilbo's). We have an appreciation for McKenzie's face.
