Last week, Buzzfeed published “The Official Ranking Of The 51 Hottest Jewish Men In Hollywood,” a comprehensive list of the heebiest hunks in stardom.

But it seems a few were left out.

And so, without further ado, we present to you the Top 5 forgotten Jewish hotties.

B.J. Novak
He may have been an obnoxious pseudo-yuppie hipster on “The Office,” but he’s a mensch in our hearts.

David Schwimmer
Nerdy, neurotic, and yet so, so endearing.

James Deen
With his upcoming non-X-rated debut in “The Canyons,” you can now bring him home to mom. Well, almost.

Eli Roth
Two words: Bear. Jew.

Robert Downey Jr.
How could you forget Iron Man?

Did we leave anyone out? Let us know in the comments!

Anne Cohen was the Forward’s deputy digital media editor. When she’s not looking for the secret Jewish history of Voodoo in New Orleans, or making lists about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she writes for The Assimilator. She graduated from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism with an M.S. magazine concentration in 2012.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
