From: Favorite Hunks & Other Things
 I find something pretty special about Jason Lewis. His bod, even his voice get to me. In most of the articles I have read about him he seems very open to many things. Great transition from modeling to acting as well, with interesting parts while not shying away from being the hot guy. Jason turns 43 today.
