Scott Foley Is Our Fantasy Man

Scott Foley can break a girl of her bad-boy habit in two seconds flat. Part sweetie, part stud, he’s the kind of guy you want to bed and bring home to Mom. If you missed the 30-year-old’s guy-next-door good looks since The WB cancelled Felicity last spring, you’re in luck—he’s back on TV in the legal-eagle comedy A.U.S.A. Offscreen, he’s hitched to Alias star Jennifer Garner, whom he met when she guest-starred as his ex on Felicity. Read on to see why Jennifer (and all of us at Cosmo) fell for this humble hottie.

What’s the best thing about not playing a teenager on A.U.S.A.?
It’s a relief not to have to shave three times a day to play a part.

Did you have any wacky jobs before making it big?
The most humbling job was being an extra on random TV shows. You’re basically a movable prop. And it’s frustrating because you watch the actors and think, I can do that.

You were originally cast as Ben on Felicity. In real life, are you more like Ben or your character, Noel?
I am much more like Noel, which is why I wanted to play Ben. It would have been more of a challenge. Noel is a nice guy with a huge heart that sometimes gets him into trouble, which is very much like me.

Was it love at first sight when you met Jennifer?
It was for me. We flirted a lot, and she told me at one point that she loved to cook and I was like “Well, I love to eat.” Her last day on the set, I sent her flowers, and she left a note in my trailer that read “When you’re ready for a meal, give me a call.” One thing led to another, and now we’re married.

What do you love most about Jennifer?
There are so many things. I love that she’s cold when she sleeps and that he has long fingers…it’s just everything about her.
