Garrett Hedlund: The Full Package
Though he may not know it, Garrett Hedlund is approaching heartthrob status. From a tiny town in Minnesota where he had a stint as a Christmas tree salesman and worked on a turkey farm, he arrived in Hollywood only to be sent straight to Malta to play Patroclus alongside Brad Pitt's Achilles in Troy. He may have invented a new way to get his career going, too. "At school I used to get so bored that I'd stay up all night and just read scripts online. I would pretend I was auditioning for the films--something with great actors back when they were younger, like Taxi Driver --and then rent the movie to see what the person that got the role did," Hedlund, 19, explains.

David Sutcliffe: Macho Man
As Christopher, Rory Gilmore's charming but fly-by-night, absentee dad on the hit WB series Gilmore Girls, David Sutcliffe may not be around much (his role is recurring), but he sure knows how to make an impression. "It's especially nice because the fans are so hardcore," says the Gilmore guy, who returns for half a dozen episodes this season. "Young women really relate to Rory, so when they meet me, they're crying, they're shaking, they're freaked out. 'Why weren't you at her graduation?!'"
