Feeling lucky? German-Irish sexpot Michael Fassbender is my personal favorite Ireland-hailing actor, but there are plenty of steamy Irish lads to share. Since it's almost St. Patrick's Day, we got to thinking about other Hollywood hunks with similar Irish blood and that supersexy accent. Some are prim and proper, but others have some serious scruff happening. Whatever your eye candy preference, we've got you covered with some gorgeous actors who hail from Ireland.
