Paris’s Comments: In July 2004, Dylan became the first inductee based on your votes in the poll! No surprise to me, since there’s a whole lot to be said for a guy who has sexual appeal either in or out of a suit, as the photos in this gallery clearly prove! I became a fan of Dylan’s during his long run on ABC’s The Practice, where he portrayed Bobby Donnell, a serious, passionate defense attorney with an almost boyish charm, often torn between his staunch personal beliefs and the sometimes ugly duties of his job. Whether in court pleading to save his sleezeball client’s life, tumbling out of the walk-in shower with opposing counsel Helen Gamble (played by Lara Flynn Boyle), or making love to his fictional wife Lindsay Dole (played by Kelli Williams), Dylan kept you riveted to the television screen every single week. (I, for one, found it appauling when he and half of his fellow cast members were unceremoniously fired prior to the show’s final season, but that’s a matter for another forum). Regardless, I missed this terrific Golden Globe-winning actor—not to mention his smoldering blue eyes and athletic build—last season, and now look forward to seeing him portray FBI agent Max Canary in TNT’s new limited series, The Grid.

Paris’s Comments: When I heard several years ago that one of my favorite soaps, As The World Turns, was bringing back the character of construction worker Mike Kasnoff, I knew things would get interesting, considering Mike had a steamy past with several characters, including two warring sisters. But when I saw the actor they selected to play the character this time around, I knew things would get even steamier. From the moment Mark Collier arrived on the scene in 2002, I instantly got inspired to write several characters in my erotica stories. What a perfect leading man, I decided...a killer smile, an impressive physique, a sensitive yet “manly” personality. All in all, drop-dead gorgeous and utterly sexy, as these photos will show! Actually, I begged Amber Quill’s cover artist to use Mark as the inspiration when creating the cover for my upcoming Historical/Paranormal Erotica Novel, Him. And to learn recently that Mark had actually attended Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Georgia, a few short years ago nearly did me in...so close to my Savannah home and I didn’t even know it. LOL. To learn more about the very talented actor and his career, please visit his “unofficial” fan site at www.markccollier.com.
