Originally from Charleston, South Carolina, Tilky Jones hit it big when Lou Perlman, who created both NSYNC and The Backstreet Boys, signed him up for his new boy band called "Take 5." They never hit the same level of fame as those two iconic groups, and Perlman ended up being a creep and a money laundering felon. But while the other Take 5 fellas struggled, Tilky was able to take his leading man good looks to the acting world, where he found a solid amount of success. Tilky began his showbiz career as an eleven year old, booking commercials before jumping into the music scene with his Ska band. The ska group fizzled, so Tilky joined "Take 5" in 1997. They had some moderate success, but disbanded when the boy-band craze fizzled and Perlman's finances started tanking. Lucky for us, he didn't try to revive the ska band, but opted to take acting more seriously than he had in the past. In the mid-2000's, you could catch this stud muffin in popular shows such as One Tree Hill, Pretty Little Liars and Nashville, just to name a few. He also hit the big screen as Eric in the teen fight club drama Never Back Down (2008). He had a long run as Juliette's former husband Sean Butler in Nashville, before really finding his groove in TV movies. As much as we liked the hip LA DJ has to move to a small town and work with a cute and quirky cohost flick Naughty & Nice (2014) and the attorney solves some mysteries flick A Father's Secret (2016), nothing could top his work in the TV movie Open Marriage (2017). Tilky's ripped upper body will have you melting like a stick of butter in a frying pan when you see him bulging out of his underwear, his bathing suit, and even railing a curly haired cutie in the VIP section of a swinger's club. Those abs had us feeling silky for Tilky! Tilky moved on to softer stuff like Christmas Love Letter (2019) and The Charm of Love (2020), while also popping up in network TV shows like The Rookie. Take your pants off Take 5 boy! Tilky Jones, we wanna jump your bones!
