Richard Hatch from his days as Karl Malden’s partner in the streets of San Francisco. I also second, previously mentioned, Chris Atkins, and Shawn Cassidy.

I first loved him as Philip Brent on All My Children!!

One of the biggies for me was "Ted" of "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" :

Keanu Reeves

I'm more enamored of Keanu now than I was back then.

Mine was definitely later due to also being from the south but my first man crush was definitely solidified when I saw Chris Evans Shirtless in Fantastic Four!

For some reason this reminds me of the poster for The Boy In Blue  I never saw the movie, but it's when I fell in lust with Nicolas Cage. And I've never forgotten the poster.

Jon Erik Hexum and his predecessor on Cover Up, Antony Hamilton. Dreams were made of these two. 
 

Also The Hardy Boys’ Parker Stevenson.

I really liked Antony Hamilton, but don't you mean 'successor' and not 'predecessor.' He came after Jon Erik Hexum. I don't remember him from 'Cover Up, but I do from 'Mission Impossible.' And of course most people didn't know he was gay. 
 

 

Anyone remember Hart Bochner from 'Apartment Zero?' He's not the handsomest guy on this list. But he's definitely up there. I think I watched the movie to mainly see him. 
 

 

As a child and beyond I was always fond of his father Lloyd too. He was in a lot of movies and TV shows when I was growing up.

Antony Hamilton was the successor. You are correct.

DUH!

A few years ago, I had a memory pop back into my head of my first male celebrity crush.  IMDB was able to give me the exact air-date for . . . The Six Million Dollar Man S3:E17, “The Secret of Bigfoot: Part 2”.  

There was a scene where Steve Austin (Lee Majors) was lying down and wearing only a towel.  I was stunned.  I remember actually feeling something and inwardly thinking, “What the hell was that!” Only I was nine years old and didn’t curse back then.

RANDOLPH MANTOOTH

Funny how a random morning coffee can unlock something you haven’t thought about in 30 years. I suddenly remembered Randolph—and realized just how many guys I’ve been drawn to over the years fit his exact “look.” Apparently, my type was imprinted early.

What really got me is noticing that my current doctor could practically be his son or grandson. Just walking into the appointment puts me at ease, and now I finally understand why. Wild how those old impressions stay with us, quietly shaping things long after we’ve forgotten the source.

Funny. Emergency! Was my favorite tv show as a child. I still watch it from time to time. I remember thinking Randy Mantooth was cute but never really developed a crush. Kevin Tighe was hot, too.

Lloyd was in my favorite Twilight Zone episode...."To Serve Man"......"Mr Chambers, the book, to serve man, it's, it's a CookBook"

Per my post from a now closed thread started in 2017, David Henesy from the 60s daytime soap Dark Shadows. I was all of 7 years old. And I was obsessed!
