This comes as no surprise to the producers of the WB hit Felicity. In fact, they originally cast Scott Foley as the hunk, Ben, before shifting him over to play nice guy Noel.
"Scott Foley is a genius. He's like a young Tom Hanks, funny and endearing and emotionally honest. He's handsome without being intimidating," Felicity cocreator J.J. Abrams says.
Foley, 26, is getting around on the small screen. Last season, he played Cliff, the quintessential high-school jock, on Dawson's Creek--earning his face a place inside high-school lockers across America.
He also appears as the unattainable older guy in the new WB sitcom Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane.
But it's his Felicity role that hits closest to home for this native of Kansas City, Kansas. "I really relate to Noel," Foley says. "He's honest and true, and I think if I had to choose someone to be in my corner, I'd choose Noel. He knows how to deal with problems and he'd be the one I'd want to take my back."
Several thousand adolescent girls--and a plenty of older ones--couldn't agree more.
