Jesse Metcalfe

Metcalfe was practically engineered to be an early-2000s heartthrob, and Desperate Housewives leaned into that hard, but I think people underrate how much steady working-actor mileage he has gotten since. The Dallas reboot gave him a real lead role to anchor, and his run of Hallmark mysteries shows a guy who figured out a lane and committed to it. He is never going to be confused with a method chameleon, but there is something likable about an actor who knows exactly what audience he is serving and shows up for them year after year.
