Robbie Coltrane

Ladies, ladies, ladies... if you have not yet discovered the joys of Big Men, it's time to get started. But get your mind out of the gutter, girls. We're talking tall, not long. We're talking hefty. We're talking about a REAL man -- someone who can hoist you up over his shoulder and march you over to bed, throw your ass on it and pin you down for a little téte a téte. Yes, we're talking about a man with some meat on him.... and here's the biggest bonus of all: when it comes to taking your clothes off in front of him, you'll never have to worry about those extra pounds of your own. Because a Big Man understands that a girl with a healthy appetite for dinner knows how to really dig in when it comes to dessert.

Our vote for the man who'd make a truly just dessert:

Brrrrrrrrace Yerself!

Robbie Coltrane

He's big, he's bad... and he's the sexiest thing to ever come out of Scotland (god knows, he beats the latex pants off that runt Rod Stewart). He's been well-known in the U.K. for decades and is fast becoming a household name in the States. He first made a splash across the pond in the 1990's, when PBS viewers watched him star in the BBC's highly-acclaimed detective series "Cracker" as Dr. Edward "Fitz" Fitzgerald, a deeply flawed forensic psychologist whose intellect and self-hatred led him to embrace such self-destructive habits as alcohol and gambling.

Since voluntarily quitting the series in 1996 to avoid type-casting, Coltrane has carved out a niche for himself in both drama and comedy. He has co-starred in numerous U.K. and U.S. films as the hero, the villain, the tortured man, comedic relief, the loyal friend..... everything but the role we'd like to see him in: romantic leading man. (Yeah, yeah, so he was married to Rene Russo in "Buddy". It's not like he got to drop trou or anything.) You might remember him best from "Message in a Bottle," "Goldeneye" or "The World is Not Enough." Right now, you can see him in theaters as Johnny Depp's detective friend in "From Hell." In fact, you can also see him -- or at least his eyes -- in "Harry Potter," though we confess that his character Hagrid, the groundskeeper, has a little too much hair even for the most bear-loving among us. (I shouldn't have told you that...)

Nonetheless, Robbie Coltrane has broken out to the big time and you'll be seeing a lot more of him in the years ahead.

Probably not as much more as we'd like, of course, but we'll settle for what we can get.
