10. Donald Faison

Donald Faison was everyone’s crush after he expertly took on the role of Murray in Clueless in 1996, so it isn’t surprising that Sabrina Spellman fell for him too.

In season two’s “Rumor Mill” Faison was reintroduced as Dashiell, a half-mortal who became Sabrina’s love interest for three episodes before she decided she was in love with Harvey. Of course, Faison went on to even bigger things on TV with roles in Felicity, the Clueless series, and of course, his most popular role as Dr. Christopher Turk in Scrubs.
