1 He’s got mad acting chops

It’s hard to forget his turn as the sinister Carter Baizen, who gave Chuck and Nate a serious run for their truckloads of money. More recently, Sebastian received a Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as the troubled son of a former first lady in Political Animals.

2 He can really sing

Sebastian started acting when he was 12, starring in school productions, including musicals like West Side Story and Little Shop of Horrors. We’ve yet to witness his vocal prowess on the screen, but there’s a YouTube video of him belting out the first few notes of “Sherry” from Jersey Boys. If Zac Efron can star in four musical movies, why not Sebastian too?

3 He’s really, really, ridiculously good-looking

As anyone with eyes would attest, the Romanian-American actor is extremely easy on the eyes. Case in point: he’s in the Captain America movies with Chris-freaking-Evans, but people still took notice of his good looks. Let him be a leading man, already!
