Battlestar Booty: Jamie Bamber

Okay, we admit it, we're addicted to "Battlestar Galactica," the Sci-Fi Network's tale of  a space fleet carrying the last remnants of the human race as they flee a destroyed home world in search of the mythical planet Earth. And while the Award winning series has many draws, Jamie Bamber, who plays Commander Lee "Apollo" Adama, is a big reason to keep coming back.  

Jamie Bamber factoids:
- He's international, born in London to an American dad and Northern Irish mother, and living in Paris and London as a child.
- His full name is a mouth full:  Jamie St. John Bamber Griffith. 
- He's 34, but looks like a muscle-twink.
- He's done drag: his first amateur role as a child was the Wicked Witch of the West.
- He's into languages, studying French and Italian literature at Cambridge University. Romantic!
- He was a jock in high school and played university rugby at Cambridge.
- He's straight, but cool with the gays, having appeared on the cover of OUT magazine.
- He looks damn hot in a military uniform and, for some reason very important to the plot, the producers of  "Battlestar Galactica" keep finding  ways to show off his tight little physique, like this: 

If that doesn't turned you into a sci-fi nut, nothing will.
