JA's pre-Winchester days are even prettier (but less handsome).

Prettier maybe. But it's as he aged that he got the grab-you-and-don't-look-away factor. Seriously, there are shots of him I could stare at for half an hour. I don't know that Bomer will have the same trajectory. But I'll pay folding money to see them both in five years.

I think a young Ackles was prettier than Bomer, but current Ackles has aged out of the pretty and into classically handsome.

Bomer is wicked pretty, esp. as Neal. He was merely pretty as Bryce.

Neal-Bomer is the same kind of pretty as Simon-Sean Maher, to me. Very lovely facial structure and body language, an intensity in the gaze, drop dead smile. They remind me of one another a lot.

People who've seen Ackles real-life tell me he's ordinary looking. With his coloring I can see that, if he's chilling or lurking. But I'll bet he can flip that "on" switch.

edit for the misspelling. I know someone named Bohmer so it's autospell for me.

Ackles to me was at his prettiest as Ben/Alec. He has a special relationship with the camera. What Bev said is true. I work with men more handsome than him but I would bet my house that they wouldn't hold a candle to him in a photo/film. They certainly couldn't attain the level at ita's link.

Bomer is in that pretty-like-woah zone right now. I thought he was cute as Bryce, but now he is perfect for the character of Neal.

Leverage will be moving to Sundays when it comes back (June 20) and it returns with a two-hour opening, and apparently runs two hours the next Sunday too. Which...grr! It just means the run will be shorter.

John Rogers directs episode 5, his first full-length directing gig.

To me, Bomer was more attractive back in his True Calling/Traveller days. He was Rob Lowe-style pretty early in his career, transitioned into rowrr a few years ago, and has since swum back upstream to a more angular, slightly androgynous look.

That link comes up forbidden for me, Matt.

Sorry, hitting Return or Enter while it's in the URL window should open the image.

Huh. That didn't work the first time for me.

I think he's definitely hit an aesthetic peak right now. For me that synchs up with his attractiveness, unlike with JA.

I'm such a dork. While I could always appreciate Bomer's brand of pretty, during the Traveler days, it was Logan Marshall-Green that had me going ga-ga.
