Ranked: The Men of Lost from Least to Most Sexy
Every single character, ranked in terms of sexiness.
By The Nerve Editors
Since day one, we’ve debated the motivations and allegiances of the dozens of characters on Lost. We’ve also spent hours arguing over who’s the most attractive. So, before the show takes its final bow, we've decided to rank all the significant characters from unappealing to irresistible. (And make sure to come back tomorrow for the ladies.)
40. Leslie Arzt
This super anxious and annoying science teacher doesn't have a speck of sex appeal, but he was able to bring some laughs to the show during his brief role. Unfortunately, the laughs came mostly when he was handling TNT and blew himself up. Bittersweet, we suppose.
39. Tom Friendly
The bearish Other is penalized several points for the fake scraggly beard he wore in the early seasons. As it turned out, that beard was a hint: ladies, you're not his type.
38. Stuart Radzinsky
Where to start with this hostile blowhard? The Riff Raff hairdo? The discount-bin plastic frames? The surly, entitled attitude? Radzinsky can't even pull off the cool black Dharma jumpsuit. No wonder he ends up blowing his brains out all over the Hatch.
37. Anthony Cooper
Quite possibly the largest asshole in the entire series. There's basically nothing nice we can say about this guy, except that our moms like him on Emergency! And that doesn't come close to making up for him getting Sawyer's parents killed and throwing a certain someone out of a window.
36. Benard Nadler
Any guy who's man enough for a no-nonsense broad like Rose is good by us, whether he's fixing teeth in the sideways universe or sporting a macho Bernard-of-the-Jungle beard in his island retirement hut. If only he wasn't such a crotechy old dope, we might actually think he was sexy.
35. Hugo "Hurley" Reyes
Ok, so Hurley spent a little time in a mental institution. And he's, uh, big-boned. But he's got a great personality, a sweet smile, and he's a millionaire in two parallel universes. And we really like him. But just as a friend.
34. Roger Linus
Alcoholic. Short tempered. Responsible for raising the anti-christ. This guy hardly has the characteristics of a sex icon, though he can rock a Dharma Work Man jumpsuit like nobody's business.
33. Phil
He's odd, scowling, and had the audacity to slap the lovely Juliet in order to get Sawyer to talk. His furrowed brow and prominent chin may appeal to some, but mostly he looks like he has some bodies under the floorboards.
32. Ethan Rom
We suppose that a girl could do worse than Ethan, if she goes for reserved, quiet (and more-than-somewhat creepy) types, and doesn't mind the occasional needle injection.
31. Lennon
The appropriately named John Lennon look-alike didn't last very long on the show, but his geeky charm created a nice contrast from the other macho guys around him. He's like the Temple's Daniel Farraday, giving nerds across the world a good name. He's also kind of mousy and has an enormous nose.
30. Dogen
Dogen is a dedicated family member, bilingual, and carries around a baseball, but he totally sucks at guarding ancient temples. Plus, he has a neck-beard.
29. Seth Norris
Although cute in a bumbling idiot kind of way, the pilot's boyish good looks only lasted a few short minutes before his bloodied corpse was hanging from a tree.
28. Benjamin Linus
If sexy = seductive, and seductive = convincing people to like you (like, say, buddying up to a guy you shot in the back and left for dead in a pit of skulls or starting a book club with a woman you essentially kidnapped), then you might say Ben Linus is the Barry White of the island. Of course, you'd be wrong.
27. Horace Goodspeed
He managed to run the Dharma Initiative while keeping his fun-loving, if not-exactly-sexy hippie vibe. Horace is a good guy to have at a party, but he also might let you and the rest of your community be gassed and killed.
26. Pierre Chang
Pierre, the enigmatic narrator in the old Dharma training videos, reminds us of our curmudgeonly old high school chem teacher - uptight and unpleasant. Although he did prove to be surprisingly commanding for a turtleneck-wearing-scientist when the island was on the verge of destruction.

God, i'll be so glad once this show is over, then i don't have to hear about it daily.
Totally agree with Desmond. So f-ing sexy!
why is there a pic of man-in-black as jack and claire's dad? SAWYER is the hottest!
Good call on number 1. Desmond is my favorite character and Henry Ian Cusick is incredibly attractive. and yeah fix the pic of Jack's dad. That is clearly the man in black.
Richard is the top of my list, hands down. Love him!
i love Desmond beyond reason- great list! Thanks for the eye candy- yum.
The list shows how many ugly unappealing actors got jobs from "Lost."
Daniel Faraday at #5? Really? #25 would have been about right.
Great list, really close to what I would argue. The only standout mistake is Faraday at #5, that's wildly off.
Great list! I am so happy neither Jack nor Sawyer took the top spot. Can't wait to see the ladies list!
Good call with Desmond. He's really the only one it could be (sorry, Ben...).
If Kate is number one on the ladies' list, I'm going to punch something in the taint.
Miles could have made a better rank, faraday is about right and between Desmond and Swayer, I would have voted sawyer as 1!
Miles could have made a better rank, faraday is about right and between Desmond and Swayer, I would have voted sawyer as 1!
Totally agree with #1. I was surprised that Sawyer was number 2, until I read number 1 and remembered. The accent, the way he calls all the guys he runs into "bruhtha", and that hair.
Hurley deserves a much higher rank. C'mon people.
Ben, too. Sexiest history teacher ever.
What's with the Faraday hate? That man is right where he belongs. I vote Anthony Cooper last for (emotionally) paralyzing his other son: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFohA6mKFjc
Miles belongs in the top 10, sorry.
Oh yeah! Desmond can push my button any day!
richard alpert at #8? in addition to the fact that he wears eyeliner, his character is creepy and kind of a pushover. no way he's in front of paulo!
What about Oldham/William Sanderson? If you include a throwaway like Paolo, and all the other Deadwood alums, it's only fair to stick Oldham in there some place. Towards the bottom, but still. And Miles and Faraday need to swap places on your list, my friends.
Frank Lapidus deserves to be ranked higher!
come on, Charlie should be in the top 3, Miles in the freaking top 10...Desmond, Boone and Charlie are the sexiest, Faraday is a good 5
and Ben is so sexy, evil, he looks like Thom Yorke and he's an inteligent mother f***er
i am SO glad that i'm not the only one that thinks that jeremy davies as daniel farraday is a sexy sexy piece of man meat. hottest man in a blue button-down of all time. love it.
"Sayid takes the tall, dark, and handsome type to a whole new level with his ability to be sensitive one episode and shoot a child the next."
HA.
I agree with "JT" - Hurley is waaay higher on the list!!!
Nope, nope, nope. Bernard and Hugo deserve a WAY higher rank. And Sawyer goes first. And Jack can go last, for all I care. Dang, I need to make my own ranking!! :) Super fun idea!
Hurley's ranked under Roger Work Man the abusive alcoholic because he's a fattie? Really?
I know right! Hurley should have a way higher rank.
LIAM PACE!!!!!!!!
You forgot to rank Gary Troup, Alvar Hanso, and Gerald DeGroot. And The Hurley Bird. ;-)
And Kelvin Inman.
Thats okay they did a calling for The best LOST person of all time and It was Sawyer/ Josh Holloway! So spread The Love! We miss them already.
DESMOND GOT #1 ITS ALL THAT MATTERS! TOP 10 IS GREAT, this list exceeded my expectations!
Richard does NOT wear eyeliner. He's of Cuban descent and he has naturally dark eyelashes. And he is the hottest.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE that boone is behind jin, faraday, mr eko and richard! not ok! also i really enjoy the sawyer pic :)
Martin Keamy looks like Clayton Cubitt
Sayid/Sawyer/Desmond FTW! Totally agree!
But... Miles should be higher, he´s awesome! So should Locke, TOQ is very sexy! So glad you remember Eko, he was hot!
BENJAMIN LINUS 28!? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE
Sorry, Whoever made this must be on crack or really ugly. KEAMY 17!? MICHAEL IS BEFORE HIM. That's WHACK!
Yeah, as some have already mentioned, leaving Liam Pace off the list is a HUGE misstep. Charlie should go slightly higher. Basically, I'm glad Drive Shaft doesn't actually exist, or my girl-next-door image would go horribly awry.
Tom Friendly is a sexy piece of man...after all, he likes to *indulge* when he's on the mainland.
Desmond's the nº 1 no doubt about it! HIC's sooooo sexy!
This list is pretty much 100% wrong. The only thing that's correct is Desmond being #1. Everything else seems randomly jumbled together. How can Faraday get higher than Richard? No offense to Daniel, I think he's adorable, but he's definitely not in the same league as Nestor Campbell. Additionally, Hugo would be in my top 10, if not 5, for guys I'd actually get with. This list seems to have a bit of fat phobia going on.
Nestor Carbonell*, sorry. Just woke up.
Dude, Ben deserves to be #1. Or at least he would be on my list. :|
I like Desmond but Sawyer is THE hotness for days and days and days.
Miles makes MY top five. You can push Faraday and Charlie a little lower down.
Boone is the hottest mosdef :)
iagree!! :D
Ben is my #1
i love how you broads do nothing but complain about how men choose women solely on looks, and yet every single one of you is on here doing the exact same thing. just get me a beer and shut up.
You have it all wrong...
Sawyer, Boone, Richard, Desmond & Jack...The rest well...
If you did that least to greatest than THANK YOU! Because if so, then you are about the only other person than me so far who thinks Jack should be #1. I l♥ve Jack.
There is NO way that Sawyer is number two on this list. He is hands-down the sexiest ever!
Also, I disagree w/some of the other rankings...but the only one they're not worth arguing over. Sawyer though? Worth arguing.
4- Locke
3- Sayid
2- Sawyer
1- Mr Ecko
i can't even start to understand why you didn't put Mr Ecko in the top 5. Such a waste of a character.
What about Yemi and Mr. Paik? Or weirdo psychic? Gotta add them in for fun!
Hurley and Miles need to go up a bit. And Sawyer's definitely number one!! Did you forget that sexy jump outta the helicopter, sexy reading glasses Sawyer, Dharma jumpsuit La Fleur? The only un-sexy thing he ever did was smoosh that frog!
Jack, Desmond, Sawyer, Boone and Sayid
Frank deserves to be in the top 5. He can rock a half unbuttoned shirt! ^_~
Man in Black/Smokey shoud be waaaaay higher in the list, he is super hot! And Miles should be much higher too!
and why isn't boone in the top 5? there is no reasonable answer.
... am i the only one who finds keamy really, really hot? higher on the list, for sure.
Charlie pace isn't sexy. He barely looks like a full grown man.
Boone should definitely be at least Top 6. Maybe 5 if you switch him with Faraday. Just look at those eyes! Ian Somerhalder is a dreamboat.
Sawyer, Desmond, Sayid, Mr Eko, Jack, Yemi=yummy, Jin, Locke, Miles, Hurley, RICHARD *yes*, MIB and then the rest.
This is really ignorant and demeaning to these men. Shame on you.
PS Anyway, the handsomest male of all on Lost is Vincent.
this is an outrage. anyone who doesn't put Sawyer as #1 has serious issues. Boone is an easy #2 and Charlie certainly deserves better than #12!
i think boone first, sawyer second and i agree that ccharlie well deserves better than 12!
i think Jack or Sayid first and boone third and maybe sawyer 4th. i must be the only girl who doesnt like sawyer.
I definitely would have put Hurley much higher and Faraday much lower. Don't hate on the fat guys, personality goes a long way.
Hurley's hot.
Clearly, I'm the only one who thinks Ben deserves higher on this list. He's interesting and so much cooler than half these people. I'd put him in the top 20, at least. He's way more deserving than... Caesar. Seriously.
Whyy is Sayid so high on the list? I'm not digging the curly hair. Also, Richard Alpert, Jacob, and Boone are all hotter than Daniel Faraday
how is sayid higher than jack?!! as long as jack, sawyer, and desmond are in the top three, doesn't matter much how they're ordered
How does mikhail beat out miles?
I almost stopped reading the list at that point.
at least you got the top two right.
c'mon, hurley deserved a higher ranking than THAT. remember his budding romance with blondie mcblonderson? it was adorable... i would definitely bone hurley faster than most of those old dudes. also, miles shoulda been higher. I'M SAYIN'
Maybe I'm LOST....but none of them are THAT hot. I write about LOST on my blog.
http://sexandloveblog.com/component/myblog/tv-and-my-dating-life.html
I have to say Ben is WAY higher on my list. Probably #3 for me at least.
Why was frogurt left of the list?
Hello! bebfabd interesting bebfabd site!
Hello! deegafe interesting deegafe site!
Why is Ben not higher? Watch him beat up Sawyer with a baton and wrestle Locke to the floor and then tell me that's not sexy.
Also, Lapidus deserves to rank higher, as does Mikhail. And Hurley! Who cares about his weight and mental problems? His sense of humor and kindness beat out almost every guy on this list. Hell, my (straight) dad openly admits to wanting to marry Hurley. :D
I agree with the top ten though, Faraday was really hot (I tend to go for geeks.)
well i think,
1.Boone, 2.James, 3.charlie, 4.Sayid, 5.Jack, 6.Jin, 7.John!!
Boone is by far the hottest of them all!!!!!!!!!!! Ionly startin the 2nd season as i wasn't interested untl this month in it because i never knew Ian Somerhalder was in it an whn his charactor died i was literally in tears!! love ou boone/ian!! x
Are you crazy with putting Ben at #28? BEN IS THE SEXIEST! Richard is number 2. Jack should be #28. And Lapidus should be higher.
I feel like making my own list now.
Talk about interesting taste. imo you got it all wrong!
1 Richard Alpert
2 Boone
3 Jin
4 Sawyer
The rest are not even worth mentioning as far as looks
THE END!
PAULO is the hottest!!!
Ah, i see. Well that's not too tcikry at all!"
Sayid above jack SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!?! And Faraday as 5 are you high?!? But a+ on Desmond being number 1
What about Eddie the hitchhiker that John Locke picked up on the side of the road heading to Eureka? I know he wasn't in the show for long, but i liked him.
Nice list! Though I'd have ranked Farraday and Jack lower than Boone and Michael. I'd also have put Eko at number one, but that's just because I think he's gorgeous and love his accent. :3
I think this is hilarious. All this list and the comments show is that taste ist individual and I suppose this was more a base of discussion. Some find Ben way sexier, I personally agree with the top 4 especially since I have big love for Des and Sayid, but I would rank Jin higher than Daniel, Miles and Hurley higher too. Which shows clearly how different tastes are....
