All my friends disagree with me, but I think he's really hot. Maybe even gorgeous.
To me, he's kind of a mix between Gerald Butler and a little bit of Drew Sarich (who are both very attractive as well)...but I don't know. Anyone else see that?

I'm torn between sarcasm and genuineness. I'll assume you're American and go with the latter.
No, you're not. He's a Hottie McHotterson!

Personally he looks dirty and old to me.
His voice is attractive, though.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)

Posted: 12/23/09 at 5:10pmI agree, he is very easy on the eyes. A very attractive man.

Posted: 12/23/09 at 5:10pmHe's certainly attractive, VERY attractive, even, but I don't find him to be hot. When he opens his mouth and starts singing, hell yeah he is BEAUTIFUL.

I guess "dirty" is a new term for men with beards and slick hair?

Posted: 12/23/09 at 5:11pmI'm being perfectly serious! A lot of people think he's unattractive, and I just wanted to see if a large amount of people would be inclined to agree or disagree with me.

I think he looks better with a beard. Without one...ehh..not so much.

"I guess "dirty" is a new term for men with beards and slick hair? "
Yes. But I'm practically a zygote and old men of the same style (Hugh Jackman etc.) do nothing for me. So I hope he doesn't take it personally :P.

Posted: 12/23/09 at 5:22pmI think he is cute-- not gorgeous-- but very charismatic! I certainly agree about the Gerard Butler thing (never found Butler all THAT physically attractive, either, but he's strangely sexy).

Posted: 12/23/09 at 5:31pmI'm confused how someone can't be 'that' physically attractive *but* strangely sexy..aren't they synonymous?

You've never found someone sexy who isn't the most picture-book pretty person to look at? Daniel Craig? Dominic West? There's a whole host of men out there who make me weak at the knees, but when I look at them, I can't quite work out why. :P

No. (Actually if I know the person really really well then perhaps)
Apparently I'm strange...ignore me.
I am young, life has been kind to me. I will learn.

This thread is funny.
Yes. Fairly large fan base in a world where looks count for an awful lot, people like, bursting into hysteria when they meet him, but yup, you're the only one. 
He's stunning. He doesn't do it for everybody, but I think he's incredibly attractive, and downright adorable. (And like 100 times more so in person than in pictures.)
#21re: Am I the only one who thinks Raul Esparza is extremely attractive?
Posted: 12/23/09 at 5:41pmRaul Esparza is amazingly attractive. One of the first people my mother and I both discussed our attraction for. Yes, it was an awkward discussion.

For me, sexiness is more a reflection of personality than just physical appearance. There's nothing sexy about a conventionally hot guy who's dumb as a box of rocks. Hardly a turn on.
Topic- Pictures don't really do him justice.

Weez, you put that perfectly, that's pretty much what I was about to say. But I liked your Les Mis reference, qolbinau!

Yeah, I always found Raul Esparza good looking. Now a little less than 3 years ago, but still.
(sorry if these don't load, tinypic is being a pain)

Wow, you really are young. My main type of crush since 13 has been the "not objectively that good looking, but strangely attractive" type.
