       With his lanky,
            buffed-out bod, he wowed Heather Matarazzo in Welcome
                to the Dollhouse; then we found him in the bedroom
            doing the dirty       with Josh Jackson in Cruel
            Intentions. Now, after having his looks       fail him
            with the women of The L Word, Eric Mabius is back to
            his       bed-hopping ways as Ugly Betty's
            resident insatiable himbo.
