I also liked "Ironsides" (Raymond Burr), John Gage (Randolph Mantooth), Jim Reed (Kent McCord), Paladin (Richard Boone) and Lucas McCain (Chuck Connors).
Sam Elliott, Sean Connery and Patrick Stewart are drop-dead sexy.
I guess it depends what you're looking for...the pattern *I* saw had nothing to do with older/younger men...what I saw is: although I'm willing to make an exception, I generally don't like blondes!
