Ugly Betty's Eric Mabius is "Female User-Friendly"

Because I did such an odd sport, it helped me get into a school that's pretty hard to get into and even harder to pay for. Got me in on a free ride there.

How are you dealing with the pressures of fatherhood?

I think as an actor you always feel like you're one step away from being destitute. Now that I have a family, that feeling will probably only intensify. It's one thing if you’re destitute, but now you’ve got a lot of people depending on you. Growing up without much money, I understand the value of being able to put food on the table.

What was it like making People's Sexiest Man Alive list last year?

It's just another thing on a long list of things my friends can give me a really hard time about. It was definitely flattering, and if it means people are watching the show, then that's fine with me. Because do I feel sexy when I’m changing diapers? Mmm, not so much.
