Will Yun Lee Featured in People’s Sexiest Man Alive Issue
It’s time for that highly anticipated fall tradition, and I am not talking about Thanksgiving. I am talking about the eye candy feast that is People’s Sexiest Man Alive issue. This year’s edition features Matt Damon wearing the crown, and a special section devoted to the highly toned and often shirtless men of Dancing with the Stars.
And amidst the gushing tributes to the perfect hair of Grey’s Anatomy’s Patrick Dempsey and a surprising nod to Rainn Wilson of The Office is a nod to Bionic Woman’s Will Yun Lee.
Will’s intense and memorable performance as the lovelorn Jae on Bionic Woman is one of the quietly lovely parts of the show. In each episode that he is featured, Will is a point of stability on the rickety roller coaster that is Bionic Woman. In a show that can be uneven in spite of its great potential, Will makes Jae a sexy and stable part of the Berkut Group.
His hotel love scene with Sarah Corvus is probably his most memorable scene, and it is to the detriment of the show that we have not seen more of their relationship. Will’s character Jae killed Sarah in the opening moments of the premiere episode in one of the most tortured professions of love in television history, so their first meeting in five years is much more dramatic than your typical old lovers reunion. Will and Katee Sackhoff brought a human face and a sensuality to a scene that could have been a farce under other circumstances.
So congratulations Will on your well deserved honor. It is worth noting that this is not the first time Will’s chiseled jaw has been honored by People, as the actor was included in the magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People issue in 2002.

[...] Will was featured in People’s "Sexiest Man Alive" issue a few weeks ago, and appeared in the magazine’s "Fifty Most Beautiful People" issue in 2002.
