WHO'S HOTTER: (round three) James Marsden or Ralph Fiennes? (redux)

JAMES PAUL MARSDEN

Why is he hot?
It's his boyish charm. He's young, pretty, and built: a killer combo. He can also sing dance, and play a superhero. Only Hugh Jackman (and to some extent Alan Cumming) can match that.

Hotter than:
Ryan Reynolds
Alan Cumming

Hottest role:
Cyclops notwithstanding, I think his song n' dance man Corny Collins is my favorite. Hairspray finally let him bust out with song, dance and that killer smile, all at once. Swoon.

RALPH NATHANIEL FIENNES

Why is he hot?
It's his intensity. Those eyes, that voice... he casts a spell. He can even steal a woman from Colin Firth. That's quite impressive. Also, evil is sexy (see Schindler's List, Harry Potter, etc.).

Hotter than:
Mark Wahlberg
Joseph Fiennes

Hottest role:
That'd have to be The English Patient himself, Count Lazlo de Almásy. That piercing gaze and sultry voice can break hearts and inspire passion. Just ask Katharine Clifton.
