Joss Whedon

10. Jeremy Renner

Jeremy Renner, who makes his debut on the Pajiba 10 this year, has been around for much longer than most people know, dating back to a role in Angel, the lead in a Jeffrey Dahmer biopic and as Doyle in 28 Weeks Later. He first caught my eye in the brilliant but cancelled show, The Unusuals, one of the few network cop shows in recent years that was watchable. Of course, he shot into the mainstream with the lowest-grossing Oscar winner of all time, The Hurt Locker, took it to the next level in The Town, and then splattered all over our pop-culture conscience in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and as Hawkeye in The Avengers. Now he’s set next week to take over the Bourne franchise, making him the franchisiest actor of the year. But what’s so great about Jeremy Renner? How about pure ability, the fact that he can play bad ass and winsome. There’s something gleeful and joyous about him in real life that he’s not telling us. Those arms don’t hurt, either. — TK

8. Chris Hemsworth

Known in his native Australia for a run on the popular soap Home and Away, we poor statesiders didn’t get a good look at Chris Hemsworth until the actor played a baby-faced, twinkly-eyed George Kirk in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek. Some may not have paid attention until he laid on the extra muscle to play the the title role in Thor, but once we all got a good look, we were hooked. My initial instinct to ignore beefy, bulked up hunks was quickly set aside; there is a down-to-earth, nice-guy disposition that shines right through those piercing baby blues. Hemsworth has already proven he’s not just another pretty Norse god; he’s a damned good actor with great comic timing, and enough chemistry on his own to make up for what Natalie Portman or Kristen Stewart may lack (and they do). His affable charm made us root for Hemsworth’s anti-cookie-cutter Curt to live (Cabin in the Woods), and we thrilled to his righteous brother act against Tom Hiddleston’s misguided Loki (The Avengers). Clearly we’re not the only ones who’ve noticed him (dammit!). While we’ve been drooling over those giant arms carrying around his newborn babe, Hemsworth filmed Rush with Ron Howard, and word on the street is, Spielberg wants him to star in Robopocalypse. Go ahead, you fancy director men, put him in your big name films. Me, I’ll be in my bunk working out my version of Thor: The Dark and Dirty World. — Cindy Davis

3. Tom Hiddleston

Tom Hiddleston may be the only person to grace this list not only for his looks, but for his voice. Yes, he is beautiful — but that voice! It’s his oh-so-English delivery of the “Once more unto the breach” monologue of “Henry V.” It’s his not-too-shabby impressions. Even better, it’s what we imagine he is saying in this naughty mashup with fellow 10 member Benedict Cumberbatch. Hiddleston is just seductive, whether he is channeling F. Scott Fitzgerald in Midnight in Paris or stealing every scene as Loki, that damned god of mischief, in Thor and The Avengers. There’s something exciting about Hiddleston, and charming. He’s thrilled to be in the spot he’s in, and we’re thrilled for him. And we want him to whisper sweet nothings to us in whichever voice he prefers. — Sarah Carlson
