You spend countless hours watching television and streaming shows, easily recognizing all the actors. But as some of them mature and hit the gym, something changes. The glasses and braces come off, revealing a newfound confidence and attractiveness. Suddenly, these same actors that you’ve been watching for years catch your eye in a whole new way. You feel like you are the first one to discover them, admiring their talent and good looks with fresh eyes. It’s as if they have transformed into entirely different people before your very eyes.

Some of the following programs may be inappropriate for young viewers due to the fact that all the actors mentioned below show some or alot of skin in their series. 

(A reason for their skyrocketed popularity?..Maybe…)

Here are four actors that brought the heat to the Summer of 2024:

Edward Bluemel first caught the attention of viewers on the Sky Original series, “The Discovery of Witches”, where he portrayed the young vampire, Marcus Whitmore. Since then, Bluemel is now a heartthrob, thanks to his role as Lord Guilford Dudley in the hit Prime Video series, “My Lady Jane”. His character exudes sexiness and charm, making him the object of desire for Emily Bader’s portrayal of Jane Grey. With his chiseled features and magnetic presence, it’s no wonder Bluemel is such a “stallion” on “My Lady Jane” (available to stream on Prime Video).

With his rugged features and intense gaze, Ewan Mitchell first captured the attention of viewers on the Netflix series “The Last Kingdom” as Osferth, bastard son of King Edward. Now, he reigns as the cunning and conflicted Prince Aemond Targaryen on HBO’s “House of Dragon”. You can be enthralled by this hot dragon’s fiery performance and captivating presence on the House of Dragon available on HBO and MAX.

Did You Know: Both Edward Bluemel and Ewan Mitchell were on a show call, “The Halycon”. (Never heard of it, you’re not alone.)

Tall and lean, with an easy smile and a charm that radiates from his every move, Charlie Barnett has been making waves in the entertainment industry. His breakout role as time-loop victim and nice guy, Alan Zaveri, in Netflix’s hit show Russian Doll, captured the attention of viewers worldwide. But it was his portrayal of the striking Good Jedi, Yord Fandar, on the Star Wars series The Acolyte on Disney Plus that truly solidified him as a rising star. With a commanding presence and undeniable talent, Barnett is poised to become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors.

Manny Jacinto, another rising star in the acting world, first caught the attention of viewers with his charismatic portrayal of slickster Jason Mendoza on NBC’s hit show, The Good Place. However, his talent extends far beyond one role. In the Star Wars Disney Plus series, The Acolyte, Jacinto shines as the seductive and mysterious “Sith” Lord Qimir. With just a glance, he can captivate an entire audience and hold them under his spell. His presence on screen is powerful and alluring, making him a force to be reckoned with in any performance he takes on.
