Every day until the results are announced for the 2009 AfterElton.com Hot 100 poll we're leaking beefcake at a steady rate of a hunk a day.

Today's fan-fave is out British actor Russell Tovey, who's starred in the BBC adaptation of Little Dorrit and both the stage and theatrical versions of The History Boys.

He also starred in a memorable episode of Doctor Who, and raised the hopes of Who fans when exec. producer Russell Davies suggested him as a possible replacement for David Tennant.

Unfortunately he wasn't picked to play The Doctor this time ... but maybe someday.

Even though he didn't nab that prime role, Russell sent the pulses of fantasy fans racing with the starring role in the BBC supernatural series Being Human, which has been renewed for a second season and will start airing on BBC America later this year.

To find out where Russell placed on this year's list, you'll have to come back for the results. But for now, enjoy this slightly NSFW assortment of pictures ...
