10 Hottest Male Vampires
These cold-blooded boys make our blood run hot.
Since the vampire craze shows no signs of slowing down (theaters are packed with Eclipse fans, while TV's True Blood and Vampire Diaries were both recently renewed), we've decided to pay tribute to some of our favorite vamps from the big and small screens. Here now are 10 guys we'd let suck our blood any day—er, night.
1. Gerard Butler in Dracula 2000 - As quite possibly the sexiest Dracula ever to hit the silver screen, Gerard entranced us with his intense stare, usually-open shirt, clean-shaven face and a beautifully tousled head of curly hair. Now he just entrances nearly every single actress in Hollywood.
2. Gary Oldman in Bram Stoker's Dracula - Even with that hard-to-understand accent and his ugly, wrinkled old man mode, we would definitely cross "oceans of time" to share some everlasting love with this Count.And we'd kind of like to see him duke it out with Gerard Butler for the "Sexiest Dracula" title. Shirtless, of course.
3. Alexander Skarsgard in True Blood - Maybe you don't find Eric Northman's stunning Nordic features all that interesting? OK, so maybe you're not that superficial. But not too many women can resist a strong man with some authority. Well, Eric is not only the sheriff of his district, but also a Viking warrior. Chew on that.
4. Billy Wirth in The Lost Boys - So technically, Jason Patric was the hottest thing in this movie. However, since his character was only a HALF vampire, we can't include him on this list. And Kiefer Sutherland's David just didn't do it for us. But—in the unfairly short amount of screen time he got—Billy's vampire Dwayne (best remembered as "death by stereo" guy) really got our blood pumping.
5. Alex O'Loughlin in Moonlight - Although the this one-season series may not have always been that enjoyable to watch, Alex's gentlemanly, lovelorn vampire P.I., Mick St. John, was always easy on the eyes.
6. Brad Pitt in Interview With The Vampire - If you saw Louis de Pointe du Lac's mouth coming at you, don't tell us you could turn away. Sure, it's full of sharp teeth that are going to sink into your jugular, but look at those lips! Those lips have to make even Angelina Jolie jealous.
7. Ian Somerhalder in Vampire Diaries - OK, so Damon is the bad seed of the undead Salvatore clan. Doesn't that just make him all the more irresistible? Not to mention he's got some of the most beautiful blue eyes this world (or the underworld) has ever seen.
These gentlemen are wonderful, but I can't be the only one who remembers Frank Langella's oh-so-steamy/dreamy Dracula from back in '79... ouch, ouch, and oh, yes, please ouch! Found myself actually jealous of Kate Nelligan...
(and yes, Tom, watched Barnabas everyday in the summertime...)
Hey I gotta put my 2 cents in for what its worth. I have to disagree about one of the shows. Moonlight was really good. The first few eppy's were a little off but by episode 4 'Fever' the show took off and that was that. Alex O'Loughlin did fill the role of Mick St. John perfectly. There was alot of behind the scenes strife that unfortunately may have transferred to the screen. My 2nd choice I would have to say is Ian Somerhalder. WOW, what can I say especially since he started turning around for Elena but I gotta feeling his fangs are gonna come back out alot because of Katherine in season 2... ;-)
Thanks for alerting me to Kyle Schmid, ladies. Yes. Very nice fangs.
As for Angel...well, Spike > Angel. :)

Now that we've peaked your interest you really need to watch Blood Ties which is available on DVD. You can watch it online at lifetime.com but I rather not give them any more traffic because of the way they treated the show and it's fans.
I think the one thing that will truly blow you away once you start watching the series is that Kyle Schmid was ONLY 22 when he filmed this. Yet he managed to make all of us believe that he was a 450-year-old vampire. He played the role with the perfect mix of aristocracy and arrogance that would come with being the bastard son of Henry VII. I don't think they could have picked a better actor for this role and the chemistry between the four lead actors was magic. If Kyle is this good of an actor now, you can only imagine of how much better he'll be in the future. Don't deny yourself the treat of watching this show, you won't regret it.
The other vamps you mentioned are commendable but for me they all pale in comparison to Henry Fitzroy aka Kyle Schmid.
I agree with Soni that although I like some of the vamps on your list that you have definitely missed one that should be on your list-Henry Fitzroy who was perfectly portrayed by Kyle Schmid. You just don't know what you're missing until you look him up....
I'm liking some of the vamps on your list, HOWEVER there is one that should be on your list. That would be Kyle Schmid, who played vampire Henry Fitzroy on tv's "Blood Ties" (and mind you BT was on tv waaaay before "MoonLight" and "True Blood").
Kyle as Henry has been making many women's blood run hot.
To the point where, earlier this year, he won (fangs down) over Robert Pattinson as the Sexiest man in the Vampire Realm.
He was suave, debonair gentlemanly and naughty all in the same breath.
