Cinematic Crush: Milo Ventimiglia

Crush object: Milo Ventimiglia, actor.

- He's best known as the super hottie with all the super powers Peter Petrelli on Heroes, returning for its third season tonight.

- His film debut was in the gay-themed short Must Be the Music, available on the Boys Life 2DVD. He also appeared in the street hustler drama Speedway Junky.

- Pre-Heroes, his biggest television role to date was as Rory Gilmore's boyfriend Jess Mariano on Gilmore Girls. Other series he has appeared on include Boston Public and American Dreams.

- After co-starring with Sylvester Stallone in Rocky Balboa (as his son, Robert Balboa Jr.), he headlined this year's thriller Pathology and stars in three more thrillers -- Armored, The Chaos Theory and Game -- all due out within the next year or so.

- But it is as Heroes' tortured Peter that he makes his fan's hearts soar like their idol; they even make video tributes to his hair.
