12 Of Hollywood's Best-Looking Nice Jewish Boys

Growing up Jewish, I always noticed the lack of Hanukkah related TV programming. There was no representation of people just like me on TV. Just because there wasn't a lot of Jewish characters on TV doesn't mean there aren't a lot of Jewish celebrities. In fact, there certainly are some gorgeous NJB (nice Jewish boys) out there in Hollywood.

Note: the order in which these NJBs are presented is alphabetical so the ranking is totally up to your interpretation. And there were also way too many to choose from.
