David Boreanaz as the brooding vampire, Angel, kicked "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" up several notches. Whether he wore black leather or burgandy velvet, Angel was smokin'. How sexy can you get: vampire with tormented soul seeking absolution falls in love with THE vampire slayer. Conflict, passion, romance, heartbreak. Ah, the good old days when every week promised a delightful trip to Sunnydale.

Angel was a wonderful blend of power and sensitivity, or cynicism and hope. He was private, and obviously the Scooby gang often bewildered him with their antics, but he could throw a quip with the best of them, and being several hundreds of years old made him quite good in the problem solving area.

So Angel makes my list of sexy TV men.
