Paris’s Comments: Although he didn’t receive enough votes in my recent poll to be inducted as a “Voters’ Favorite,” Raoul Bova was still destined to find a permanent place in this gallery. Why? Do you really need to ask? They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so just click on any of these pictures and see the answer. This native Roman is simply drop-dead gorgeous! Since he first appeared on film in the early 1990s, European audiences have made him a sex-symbol and a superstar. His diverse roles have also earned him the respect a serious actor deserves. He might have also gained the same status in America were it not for the fact that the majority of his work is in Italian. Only more recently have English-speaking audiences discovered this gem of an actor, as in 2003’s Under The Tuscan Sun (he played Marcello), so hopefully his star will remain on the rise. Absolutely delicious! For more information and photographs, you can visit his official website at http://www.raoulbova.it.
