Milo Ventimiglia

Biography: A heartthrob who came to prominence on the small screen, Ventimiglia made viewers swoon as Alexis Bledel's brooding, on-again, off-again love interest on Gilmore Girls. Their chemistry carried over into real life as the pair became a couple for a time off screen as well. In 2003 he signed on to star in his own spin-off, but when that project fell through he jumped networks (and many decades) with a recurring role as a 1960s radical on the period saga American Dreams. While his next series, the college drama The Bedford Diaries, came and went, Ventimiglia was quickly snatched up for the fantasy drama Heroes in 2006. That same year, the actor — a veteran of low-rent horror flicks — made a bid for mainstream big-screen stardom playing Sylvester Stallone's son in the sixth Rocky installment, Rocky Balboa. Off camera, Ventimiglia directed and produced It's a Mall World, a series of comedic shorts made for American Eagle Outfitters, through his production company, Divide Pictures.
