12 Of Hollywood's Best-Looking Nice Jewish Boys

Growing up Jewish, I always noticed the lack of Hanukkah related TV programming. There was no representation of people just like me on TV. Just because there wasn't a lot of Jewish characters on TV doesn't mean there aren't a lot of Jewish celebrities. In fact, there certainly are some gorgeous NJB (nice Jewish boys) out there in Hollywood.

Note: the order in which these NJBs are presented is alphabetical so the ranking is totally up to your interpretation. And there were also way too many to choose from.

1. Skylar Astin


Where you know him from: Astin starred in "Pitch Perfect" and "Pitch Perfect 2."

Fun fact: He is dating his "Pitch Perfect" costar Anna Camp.

2. Justin Bartha

Where you know him from: You know Bartha "The Hangover" trilogy and "National Treasure."

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
