Random HOT Men From TV

Mark Shera, JJ on BARNABY JONES.

Friggin' adorbs!

OMG Don Galloway was gorgeous. In one of the last seasons of Ironside the figured that out by finding reasons to show him shirtless. He is undercover at some porn mogul's mansion and he is in the pool dripping wet, then he's falsely accused and sent to prison having to endure a spray down when nude.

Brian Kelly, the frequently shirtless father on Flipper.

Also, I know Michael Ontkean was the pin-up boy of "The Rookies", but I always thought Sam Melville was the hot one.

Reb Brown,

Enough said.

Mark Goddard, pilot of the Jupiter 2 and a special education teacher in his post- acting years,

Michael Cade, CALIFORNIA DREAMS.

And he was supposed to be the obnoxious cousin to the "hot" one. As if...

Paul Michael Glaser twernt no slouch.

Michael Zaslow.

Star Trek had a LOT of hot "one episode" men who usually got killed in some manner.

Nick Zano as the rando hipster boyfriend on TWO BROKE GIRLS.

Antony Hamilton was on the revised Mission: IMPOSSIBLE and replaced Jon Erik Hexum on COVER UP.

Covered in shame, but....

Chris D'Elia, Whitney Cummings' hipster BF on WHITNEY.

Daniel J. Travanti.

Even as a little kid watching"Battle of the Network Stars" I had a thing for handsome, ripped daddies.

Sam Elliott.

Now. And FOREVER.

Oh, yes! to Daniel Travanti.

For a 70 year old guy, Reb Brown has kept himself in pretty good shape.

John Amos from Good Times.

Kent McCord

Armand Asante always made my youthful loins quiver and ache

Tony Dow, Wally on "Leave It To Beaver"

James Darren from "The Time Tunnel"

Edson Stroll, one of the sailors from McHale's Navy and some Twilight Zone episodes

All the Barkley sons from "The Big Valley"

Armand Assante, on the other hand, hasn't aged well AT ALL.

Mark Harmon caused me many wet dreams in my teens...and 20s

John Saxon

Max Gail as Wojo on BARNEY MILLER.

Schwing!

Astonishing how few sexy images of him there are on online...

Hello, John Saxon.

R12 Travanti and Earl Holiman were two of the biggest queens in television.

R15 Reb looks like he's morphing into the Skipper from GilLigan's Island

The late Gardner McKay from ADVENTURES IN PARADISE.

Van Williams "The Green Hornet"

McKay again, shown here from 1961 with Joan Collins.

Bruce Soloman was the hunky cop that MARY HARTMAN (MARY HARTMAN) had the hots for.

LAREDO' William Smith

Steve Guttenberg. Now, then, forever.

Travis Fimmel played Tarzan in a very short television series about 15-20 years ago.

Mark Goddard was on Lost in Space. Wasn't John Saxon gay?

James Stacy, frequent guest star in lots of cowboy shows and one of Connie Stevens' exes.

Wasn't James Stacy the one who lost an arm and a leg in a motorcycle accident? I always mix him up with Michael Callan.

You have great taste r23...Max Gail was always extremely sexy

James Stacy was married to Deborah Walley, on the Gidgets.

And I nominate Clint Walker from TV's Cheyenne.

Jack Scalia

George Peppard.

Ken Wahl

Gil Gerard. As Buck Rogers he was firing on all cylinders.

Bobby Sherman. I would watch Here Come the Brides just to see Bobby in his tight jeans, and a shirtless scene.

Lee Majors was part of earlier post's trifecta of the 3 sons on the Big Valley. But I was not boned and ready for him till the Six Million Dollar Man.

Clint fucking Walker for the win.

And the guy he's carrying off to the bedroom ain't too shabby either.

R43

Not three sons; there were 4 total. Lee Majors' character of Heath was the half brother to the other three brothers and sister Audra. His mother was not Victoria but as I recall a woman named Leah who the late Tom Barkley had an affair.

R44

Yum, like watching old Gordon Grant porn !

Scott Bakula

You know that about 40 years ago Clint Walker survived a skiing accident in which a ski pole pierced his heart.

R37, James Stacy was married to Connie Stevens and Kim Darby. Deborah Walley was married to John Ashley.

John Ashley was another underappreciated stud. Died young, I think.

Clint Walker wins. The best.

But First Runner Up has to go to the hottest TV dad of them all, Brian Kelly.

Gary Conway of BURKE'S LAW and later LAND OF THE GiANTS

Joel Higgins on Salvage 1/ Silver Spoons/ Best of the West

Doug Barr, then

Doug Barr, now. Not sure of the year of the photo, but it's fairly recent,

Bruce Boxleitner

Quiz for the merry DataLounge community:

What famous current actor in Broadway musicals is Brian Kelly's nephew?

Perry King

Gary Sandy.

I don't know if it's the jeans or the bulge or the forearms or if it's Gary himself but the overall effect is hot.

The answer to R57's query is Brian D'Arcy James.

Peter Mark Richman is probably more recognizable as a middle aged and older character actor who seemed to appear on at least ONE episode of any 60s 70s 80s tv series you can name but as a young man he was scorching hot.

I remember seeing an old Alfred Hitchcock Presents on TV Land when I was a teen and thinking how modern and sexy he looked.

Indeed! Earlier in his career there was,no "Peter" in his name. He was in "Friendly Persuasion" as a sexy soldier.

George Maharis

Peter Lupus in the 1970s (Mission Impossible)

Always had a thing for Mike Evans, who played Lionel Jefferson on All in the Family and later on The Jeffersons.

Ron Ely as Tarzan

James Stacy had a tv brother played by Wayne Maunder. He was the Larry Wilcox type - sandy blonde hair and just cute as hell.

Jeff Yagher

I'm in my 60s so grew up (and was entirely spoiled) with late 1950s studs like Clint Walker. I was further entranced in the 1960s by Van Wliliams and Ron Ely and in the 1970s by Peter Lupus.

But by the 1980s I was in my 40s and found that floppy-haired metrosexuality of Joel Higgins and his ilk rather off-putting.

Pic of Clint Walker in his prime.

Hes 90 now.

Brian Kelly, the father on Flipper

Another vote for Don Galloway and Brian Kelly!

Mike Conners of "Mannix" was hot in a daddy kind of way, but I don't think he ever took his shirt off.

Nobody but my siblings even remembers him, but I had a YUUUGGGE crush on Stephen Brooks of [italic]The Interns[/italic] and [italic]The FBI.[/italic] Sadly, his career petered out early in the mid-70s, and he died relatively young.

He's on the left in this pic. Cutie Christopher Stone (who left Dee Wallace Stone a youngish widow) is on the far right.

I love the way most of these guys are dark and hairy and have perfect toned bodies. Seems like your tastes haven't changed much.

& most of them look pretty gay, so that thing of gays preferring str8s is clearly a myth.

Lee Horesely, TV's Matt Houston. Robert Urich.

Leigh McCloskey from 'Dawn'

OLIVER TOBIAS.

I don't usually gravitate toward blondes but Martin Milner had that relatable, high school P.E. teacher look that is irresistible to me.

Loved Martin Milner. But only when he added a few years, like that photo above (from Gidget?) and beyond. Same thing with James MacArthur (Hawaii Five-O). He was okay when he was a teenager, but hot as he aged.

I remember Steven Brooks - didn't he end up on Days of Our Lives?

Another kinda hot guy - William Reynolds from The FBI and later Shelly Novak. Novak died very young as well.

David Hedison, "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea"

Charles Frank and Billy Moses.

The answer to your question is yes, R35.

Robert Stack was a total babe when he played Eliot Ness on "The Untouchables":

Nicholas Hammond (right) - the original Peter Parker.

More Hammond.

Three of my faves have been mentioned;

Ken Wahl, Mark Harmon, and Mark Goddard.

How in the world are we forgetting JON-ERIK HEXUM?!?!?!?!

James Franciscus (Mr. Novak). He also starred in Beneath of Planet of the Apes to good effect.

Ron Ely

Marc Singer

I recently read on some website the claim that James Franciscus "dated" Richard Chamberlain in the early 1960s.

While Franciscus was touted as the next big heart throb in his Mr. Novak TV series to rival Chamberlain's Dr. Kildare, I always assumed Franciscus was straight.

Anyone know where the truth lies?

Doug Barr and Lee Majors from "The Fall Guy". I wonder if Miss Majors got into Doug's pants. Or vice versa.

Has anyone mentioned Ted Wass, especially as the lovably dim-witted Danny Dallas on "Soap" (and later as the dad on "Blossom")

I always had a crush on Boyd Gaines from One Day at a Time.

And Max too

James Drury, The Virginian.

I always had a thing for Charles Siebert off of One Day at a Time and Trapper John MD. Hairy dad with a big meaty ass. Max was hot as fuck on ODAAT (why was he with that dog Julie). Boyd Gaines didn't do it for me.

R94 That's three-time Tony winner Boyd Gaines to you, bitch!

Well, James Drury and Charles Siebert had one thing in common: they both wore atrocious wigs!

R74, I remember that show The Interns. Stephen truly was beautiful and as I recall Mike Farrell was one of the doctors. Did not know he passed away and I always wondered what happened to his career. Don't recall seeing him in anything else. Chris Stone...yum.

I watched Franciscus in a movie with Suzanne Pleshette called Youngblood Hawke and he struck me as looking a bit like Charlton Heston in his speech and some mannerisms. I thought he could have played Heston's son or younger sibling. Nevertheless, Franciscus was gorgeous and died at 57 years old of emphysema.

Michael Douglas on "The Streets of San Francisco"

Ken Howard, "The White Shadow", plus bonus hot young basketball players Hayward, Salami and Gomez (I even liked Coolidge)

Plus how can anyone forget William Shatner of the Star Trek era? My first TV crush as a young gayling-to-be!

Michael Pare from Greatest American Hero. Sex on a stick.

David Birney

Okay, I know he wasn't considered hot or handsome, but a few years ago after watching some reruns of "MASH" on cable, I was struck by how incredibly blue Larry Linville's eyes were. They're on par with Paul Newman's.

Roy Thinnes

[quote]Roy Thinnes

If you want HOT starting at around 2:15 you can see Roy slide down a ladder wearing chinos so fucking tight you can almost make out whether he has a rosebud or a coinslot.

Nice ass!

R91

I know a cousin to Franciscus and I recall onetime him having told me a few stories about him. No, nothing gay whatsoever. One thing I recall was that he told me Franciscus had an affair with Jane Fonda back in the mid to late 50s and that the two were crazy about one another.

Gary Clarke, The Virginian.

Gavin MaCleod as Murray on THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW. Cuddle heaven!

Thanks R107! I’ll vote coin slot.

Was watching one of those 60s anthology shows on MeTv and I realized just how sweetly handsome Ben Gazzara was as a young man...and judging from later pictures the older he got the "damn daddier" he became.

Middle aged Ben Gazzarra would have got it six ways to Sunday. He reminds me a little of Dan Futterman.

Anyone ever see Gazzara in an early film "The Strange One" with George Peppard? Talk about homoerotic!

Can't believe I'm saying this but having recently seen the Twilight Zone ep. "The Purple Testament" for the first time. and seeing Dick York with scruff and acting all serious and brooding I have to say that for the first time I actually thought he looked pretty fucking hot.

I know that William Reynolds(who seems gay to me,incidentally) is the heartthrob in that show but in their scenes together my eyes definitely gravitated toward DIck.

But then don't they always?

James Drury of "The Virginian."

Pete Duel and Ben Murphy, "Alias Smith and Jones." Both gorgeous men who had great chemistry with each other on the show. But Duel was an alcoholic, bi-polar train wreck; he ended up killing himself. He was replaced on the show by Roger Davis, but he was no Pete Duel and the show was quickly cancelled. Murphy's career went absolutely nowhere after the show ended. I don't know what he looks like now, but I saw him in one of those "Hollywood's Mysteries and Scandals" shows (it was about Pete Duel's suicide) and he was still hot and had to be at least in his fifties.

Alan Feinstein

Joel Crothers

Peter Brown

Yum, yum and yum!

Andrew Prine - I never noticed how much he looked like John Krasinski.

[quote]James Drury of "The Virginian."

James Drury reminds me of the first adult male I ever saw completely nude.

Strangely enough it was my church pastor and after being baptized he and I had to change out of the wet baptismal robes.

He had really beautiful pale, rosy skin which contrasted with the shock of dense, black pubic hair that highlighted a nice, average sized cock. It's probably why still today the sight of a man's full bush make my heart beat faster.

Of course ,nothing happened but I do still think it's odd that he got naked in front of me like that.

Andrew Prine on The Bionic Woman.

[quote]Andrew Prine - I never noticed how much he looked like John Krasinski.

I wonder if Krasinski's cock is similar.

Both he and Prine have BDF.

[quote]Peter BrownYum, yum and yum!

So I wonder how many of these classic TV hunks posed naked in the 70s. I can think of Lyle Waggoner, Christopher George, Gary Conway, Peter Lupus right off hand. Any others?

I think after Burt Reynolds in Cosmo they all thought it would be a good career move.

Paul Miller, "PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal" and other Canadian TV projects. That face! That voice!

R125.

When you mentioned "Paul" and "Canadian" it reminded of that show "Due South" with actor Paul Gross.

God, that man was gorgeous in that uniform.

Kyle Chandler from "Homefront" and "Early Edition".

Ultimate husband material.

The recently deceased Ty Hardin was pretty hot as BRONCO LAYNE.

Mike Minor from tv' PETTiCOAT JUNCTION

R111

Gavin McCleod? Really?

And not even in uniform?

Seeing the pic of Joan Collins and reading the list made me think of how many hot men in the list she's worked with. She "dated" Gardener McKay, worked with James Drury and Peter Lupus and filmed love/sex scenes with Oliver Tobias and Jon Erik Hexum. Oh and also with DL sex symbol Gavin McLeod who said she was the best kisser of all the actresses he worked with.

Richard Egan, Streets of SF, et.al.

Ed Nelson, Peyton Place

Dick Kallman, "Hank"

Bob Crane, "Hogan's Heros"

Chuck Connors. I loved him on [italic]The Rifleman.[/italic]d

He was a superb athlete IRL, having played in both the NBA and MLB.

Both the actors in posts 134 and 135 were murdered.

Mercy me y'all. Is Brian Kelly the sexiest hottest fucking man ever? Omg Omg omg

Paul Gross was molten but wasn't the only hot man on Due South....Callum Keith Rennie....

More Bob Crane for r135

These are the actors I thought were hot back in the 70s-80s-90s:

Paul Michael Glaser - Starsky & Hutch

Garrett Maggart - he costarred on the 90's series The Sentinel. Very cute w/curly hair

William Russ - he was in an episode of Miami Vice, where he appeared to be in love with Don Johnson

Alejandro Rey as Carlos the playboy on The Flying Nun could make Sister Betrille reconsider her vow of chastity.

Kyle Chandler - hell, yes!!

David Janssen

Allan Kayser, Bubba on Mama's Family

Peter Barton

Robert Urich

....

The DL Canucks must be asleep..

Donnelly Rhodes (Soap, Golden Girls, Mission Impossible, Da Vinci's Inquest).

R118, Ben Murphy looked a lot like Paul Newman and in fact did a prequel to the original co starring with William Katt as Sundance. Tom Berenger used to get called a Newman lookalike but I think Murphy fit the bill better. Pete Deuel also was on Gidget as her bro in law and as Judy Carne's hubby in a show called Love on a Rooftop. I liked him a lot and he could have had Bob Urich's career. Or prob a decent movie career.

R150.....

Ken Olandt, Riptide, The Young and the Restless and Super Force.

Post 149...Great catch! Donnelly Rhodes was one hot daddy.

James Franciscus

Thank you for the reminder about Ken Olandt, R152! Wonder whatever happened to him?

Gene Barry.

I read somewhere recently, maybe on Poseidon's Underworld Ken Olandt is married with FIVE kids.

I might have missed it, but no one's mentioned Robert Conrad?!

Robert Conrad is not random. He is the King hunk of 60's tv

And the Ass Queen, too.

Ken still acts occasionally. He’s still gorgeous at 59.

Earl Holliman

Michael Parks

Peter Horton

Ralph Meeker

William Smith

Greg Morris

Mike Farrell

William Smith.....again. Because not only is he a TV actor, but ALSO an easy, breezy, beautiful Cover Girl!

Agreed, Ken Olandt still looks great!

Tim Daly

Every episode of Madam Secretary includes a shot or two of Tim’s bare feets and they are truly yummy.

Tim daly has always been gorgeous.

[quote]I don't usually gravitate toward blondes but Martin Milner had that relatable, high school P.E. teacher look that is irresistible to me.

I loved Milner in Route 66-especially when he wore a suit.

Clark Brandon from Mr.Merlin.

Has anyone mentioned Nick Chinlind?

Is he in NYC?

*chinlund

Byron Cherry, The Dukes of Hazzard

William Katt

Glenn Corbett, another one with beautiful blue eyes.

James Douglas from TV's Peyton Place.

Page Fletcher. He did the opening monologue on [italics]|The Hitchhiker[/italics], an HBO series in the 80s.

That ass was everything!

I sure found Jon Hensley to be a hot piece on As the World Turns. And of course, Brian Bloom was a bit of pretty boy, too.

Brian Bloom, in full bloom.

I think Bloom had a creepy stalker look to him but to each his own, I guess.

I'm with you on Page Fletcber, R181. He did have, I truly believe, the nicest, hottest ass on television. Can you imagine seeing him actually hitchhiking? Fuuuuuccccccckkkk!

Competing early '60s TV doctors Richard Chamberlain and Vince Edwards.

Vince Edwards was so hot but Ben Casey was kind of a dull TV series compared to Dr. Kildare.

Sad that Edwards was never able to parlay his TV fame into feature films.....and then he died so young.

Vince Edwards was like sex on a stick.

William Smith fans......

Adding a lil' more color (with thanks to the Greg Morris poster):

The incomparable, triple-threat Cleavon Little, who should have had a MUCH bigger career, and who died way too young at 53.

Another triple threat, sexy and talented Clifton Davis. In the 70s, he starred alongside the great Theresa Merritt in [italic]That's My Mama![/italic] Later in the decade, he had a lovely variety show with the equally hot and talented Melba Moore. In the 80s and 90s, he started in [italic]Amen[/italic] with Sherman Hemsley.

Not only is he a good actor, Davis also sings and writes music; in fact, he wrote one of the Jackson 5's (and Gloria Gaynor's) biggest hits, "Never Can Say Goodbye."

More hot men of color: Hari Rhodes.

Andrew Prine was on the receiving end of a lot of rumors. Irv Kupcinet believed he was responsible for the death of his daughter. He's still alive and performing in regional theatre.

Hari Rhodes and his lovely VPL, in [italic]Daktari.[/italic]

R183, I always thought the David Forsyth, the actor who played Dusty Donovan's (Brian Bloom) dad on ATWT, was/is much hotter. And he has aged beautifully.

Thanks for the post, R175; I love Nick Chinlund!

Here's Nick's NYC-based friend and contemporary, Holt McCallany:

Clifton Davis has a recurring role on "Madam Secretary."

And speaking of hot men of color -- Lloyd Haynes of "Room 222."

How could anyone forget superstud Ken Wahl from Wiseguy??

I remember when Riptide was on, all the homos wanted Perry King. I could never get past that huge mustache.

I wanted Joe Penny (guy on left)!!!

r198 I'm trying, I'm trying.

Lyle Waggoner

Greg Vaughan (Charmed)

r189 - He raped Miss Kitty.

Mark Kiely from Beverly Hills 90210

Russell Johnson

Michael Cole

Dennis Cole

Monte Markham

Ty Burrell:

Adrian Paul aka Highlander

Daniel Hugh Kelly

Jesse Metcalfe

What determines whether a HOT man is "random"?

The incomparable John Allen Nelson of BAYWATCH, SHEENA and SANTA BARBARA.

OK, this thread is degenerating into soap hunk central. Sad.

Paul Shenar OWNS this thread.

Well, R215, are there really more than 214 "random HOT men from TV"? And what the fuck does "random" mean, anyway?

Ares on Xena

The ODAAT/Bonnie Franklin thread reminded me of Scott Colomby. He was the Milo Ventimiglia of his day.

Bruce Campbell, even when he's covered with fake blood and gore

R.I.P the superior Kevin Smith R218

Christopher Wiehl.

Scott Colomby was HOT. I bet he got the full casting couch treatment.

David McCallum played Illya Kuryakin on The Man from Uncle, I have a weakness for blondes and he was so blonde.

I hate soaps, but I started watching Days of Our Lives because of Austin Peck (pictured below) they sure had him shirtless a lot and I loved it.

Parker Stevenson who had the hair to rival Farrah Fawcett

lorenzo lamas

Scott Bakula and Connor Trinneer, "Enterprise"

Alex O'Loughlin, "Hawaii 5-O"

I admit there are a lot of hot guys here (Kent McCord!)

But this guy is impossible to beat IMHO.

These two from Planet of the Apes television show.

Andy Buckley - hot DILF from The Office and Odd Mom Out.

Wow, Ron Harper’s nipple in R231’s pic is damn suckable.

I daren't post a pic from his Bonanza days because his tight pants will make too many of you have wet mussys.

Eddie Redmayne in Birdsong

William Katt for the win!

Other than about a dozen of these men, other than a moment in the sun being on a show and photographed, none of them had a career for the long haul Acting is a rough business.

"Random" is the most meaningless word now. Thanks, Millenniots.

Adam Rodriguez (pictured)

Kristoff St. John

Jason Brooks

Lucky Vanous

Jim Pirri

Parker Stevenson

Christopher Meloni

John Enos III

Josh Holland

Matthew Fox circa Party of Five

Matthew Fox circa Lost

John Erick Hexum in the short-lived tv show cover up. Fall 84-spring 85

Remember the fashion photographer and the sexy male model who kept USA out of trouble each week? Thought not.

Another vote for James Naughton in 'Planet of the Apes!" (at left; Ron Harper was also a stud)

Kent McCord in 'Adam 12' - watched one episode as a kid, and a cop fetish was born!

I wonder if Lucky Vanous was too old for KS to pursue.

[quote]And what the fuck does "random" mean, anyway?

I don't know what "random" means for anybody else but in this context I would define it as an unknown or somewhat familiar, attractive actor who appeared in television shows as neither the lead or series regular.

A good example for me would be DILFY Joel Polis who has done a ton of episodic tv, including Jackie's ballet dancing boyfriend in "Roseanne" and also played "Fuchs" in John Carpenter's "The Thing".

R252, your post made me think of Anthony Cistaro who played Woody’s French rival Henri. Really handsome guy.

Brandon W Jones of Pretty Little Liars guest starring as The Flash on Big Bang Theory. Hot.

Michael Stroka (Aristede in Dark Shadows). Gorgeous hair and eyes.

James Naughton is the rare hottie whose weak chin seems to be one of his selling points.

I went to Yale with Joel Polis. He was even hotter in the mid-1970s. I was surprised he never found bigger stardom, at least on some cop TV series.

Finn Wittrock in American Horror Story

James Naughton's brother, David Naughton in "Makin It" and Timothy Patrick Murphy of "Dallas".

Don Matheson of Land of the Giants

The recently passed Don Marshall from Land of the Giants

The astonishing Michael Billington from UFO

Nick Tate from Space: 1999

Nick Tate showing the goods

Don Briscoe in Dark Shadows

R254 Brandon W Jones again.

Who was the guy who co-starred with James Naughton in the TV version of Planet of the Apes? Ron Harper, I think. Very hot, very shirtless.

Pretty eyes and hair, but let’s try again, R257.

Someone needs to find better revealing photos of guy williams and mark goddard.thr

Goddard was a sexy piece on Lost in Space...

Guy Williams....ALWAYS.

I don't think anyone mentioned Will Hutchins as Sugarfoot--so cute! and cowboy/greaser Nick Adams as Johnny Yuma in SUCH tight jeans.

John Terlesky...now he was a random hottie.

It seems impossible to find shirtless pics of Guy Williams. The only thing I've seen that comes close is a head and shoulders shot of him with his family in a pool. The shot of Mark Goddard barechested in bed, seen earlier in the thread, is the only shirtless pic I've ever seen of him. Yeah, please somebody, step up!
