Top Ten DILFs
What more can we say, really? Inspired by the sexy dad on the new series The Sarah Jane Adventures, here’s our list.
For the record we left out a couple of the perhaps more obvious choices on account of weird political stuff mixed up in either the actors or the characters or works themselves (e.g., Tom Cruise’s Ray Ferrier from War of the Worlds, or a couple of the guys from 300). As always we want to know whether you agree, disagree, and especially want to know if we missed anyone!
#10 - Jonathan Kent from Smallville (John Schneider)
Some of us still haven’t quite worked that Dukes of Hazzard crush out of our system, but we have to say this: the guy really ages well.
#9 - Mike Donovan from V (Marc Singer)
Oh, Beastmaster, save us from the evil lizard people and their not at all fun dinner plans!
#8 - D.L. Hawkins from Heroes (Leonard Roberts)
Oh, no, there’s someone in our room, but how can that be when we left the door locked? Oh, it’s you. Well, hello.
#7 - Jack Bauer from 24 (Kiefer Sutherland)
Now for the first time we finally understand the purpose of Kim Bauer’s character… so Jack could qualify for this list!
#6 - Alan Jackson from The Sarah Jane Adventures (Joseph Millson)
And why exactly is he divorced? Is it really about his babbling, self-centered ex-wife, or could it be…? (Please let him be gay, please let him be gay, please let him be gay.)
#5 - Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel (David Boreanaz)
We love our dark, brooding anti-heroes. And when Hamlet’s not available we turn to our favorite vampire with the cool coat and the occasional brogue.
#4 - Wolverine from The Uncanny X-Men
Snikt.
#3 - George Lutz from The Amityville Horror (James Brolin - 1979 & Ryan Reynolds - 2005)
Curiously the character of Lutz lands on the number three spot due to the two guys who played him most memorably, and not at all because of the real George Lutz. Sorry, dude.
#2 - Jin-Soo Kwon from Lost (Daniel Dae Kim)
Now that he’s a soon-to-be dad (and finally treating Sun right) we proudly crown Jin with the number two spot. Does anyone know how to say “come down to the bunker for a minute” in Korean?
#1 - Karl “Helo” Agathon from Battlestar Galactica (Tahmoh Penikett)
This show has a number of attractive guys but we like Agathon’s offbeat good looks the best, and eagerly await the chance to see more of him in Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.

I think F’ing with Helo AKA plank of wood would be like sleeping with a virgin ie. boring.
As for Alan Jackson from SJA I met him last year when I bumped into him in harrods and let me just say he was unbelievably charming.

Come on Ryan Reynolds with a beard is dam hot! GRRR!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:49 am
I was about to mention Helo and wood in the same sentence too, but in a different way, har har. I’m totally behind his being #1.

Well personally I think someone has been crminally left out.
John Crichton.

Lisa - John Crichton = thumbs up. I need to watch all of Farscape, though It’s in my Netflix queue, I swear. :)
Brian - Yeah, I think the beard made the character.

Umm . . . Josh Brolin was eleven when Amityville Horror came out. You must have mistaken him for his father, James Brolin.

Kat - Thanks! There was a typo in the article. Not the poll, though, so we’ll let the results stand. ;)

NOOOOOOOO!! Crichton was a father?? I had the biggest crush on him! I actually hated that show but would sit through it because I had such a huge crush on him… never saw any stories that indicated he was a dad though. Damn i would TOTALLY have put him on the list!

April 5th, 2008 at 12:43 am
Crichton and Aeryn’s son D’argo was born in the Peacekeeper Wars mini series.
April 9th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Keith… google is your friend. :)
Here are some DILF candidates for your consideration:
(For some reason, Jack/John seems to be a popular name.)
Jack O’Neill from Stargate SG-1 (Richard Dean Anderson)
Jack Bristow from Alias (Victor Garber)
Jack Carter from Eureka (Colin Ferguson)
John Winchester from Supernatural (Jeffrey Dean Morgan)
John Amsterdam from New Amsterdam (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau)
Here are some NOT named Jack/John:
Tom Paris from Star Trek Voyager (Robert Duncan McNeill)
Gregorio Cortez from Spy Kids (Antonio Banderas)
Steven Trager from Kyle XY (Bruce Thomas)
And since you have Wolverine from the X-Men on the list, let me also nominate:
Cyclops/Scott Summers from the X-Men
April 10th, 2008 at 7:12 am
oooh nice list…
I like: Jack Bristow - good call! I hate that I would actually consider putting Tom Paris on the list, but yeah I probably would. And Cyclops is definitely a close second behind Wolverine on the XDILF list!
