Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tommy Lee Jones, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Brian Austin Green, Seann William Scott, Chad Michael Murray, Anthony Michael Hall, and Daniel Dae Kim. Sometimes an actor is so big and/or hot, his coolness cannot be contained in anything less than three names. This is definitely true when it comes to Michael James Shaw. The Big Apple native attended Howard University before heading to Juilliard School. Boasting brains, beauty and a built body to boot, the boob tube babe exposed his… range on the occult drama Constantine (2014-2015) and on the CBS dramedy Limitless (2015-2016). Of course, fans were more turned on by his topless turn in the 2016 reboot of the 1977 miniseries Roots. Based on Alex Haley’s novel Roots: The Saga of an American Family, the historic drama features Forest Whitaker, Anna Paquin, Laurence Fishburne, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Anika Noni Rose, T.I., Malachi Kirby, and Michael’s chiseled chest! This Roots star’s perfect pecs left us rooting for more nudity! Alas, the prolific performer has kept covered up, even when popping up in such suggestively-titled flicks as Wiener-Dog (2016)! Since then, Michael could be seen in the TV movie Desire in New York (2016) and heard in Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019). Most recently, the ebony actor was cast as Aiden Shaw on the action adventure series Blood & Treasure (2019-present) and as Michael Mercer on the post-apocalyptic show The Walking Dead (2021-2022). Suffice it to say, the dead-sexy stud makes Mr. Man stiff in the pants!
