Jensen Ackles
Some may remember Dallas hometown heartthrob Jensen Ackles was an adult Eric Brady on Days of Our Lives—a role that earned him Daytime Emmy Awards nominations—but he is best known as Dean Winchester on the guilty-pleasure CW series Supernatural. It’s hard to follow the honor of Sexiest Ghostbuster (People magazine, 2005), but Ackles managed it when TV Guide named him one of TV’s Sexiest Men (2006). Still busting ghosts with on-screen brother Jared Padalecki (14 seasons and counting), Ackles and his real-life family live in Austin now, rooting for the Cowboys from their beautiful lakeside digs, recently profiled in Architectural Digest. They also co-own Family Business Beer Company—a brewery and taproom outside Austin. Superfans will recognize the name.
