Can't take our eyes off...Eddie Cahill

June 2005
by Erin Torneo

When cutie Eddie Cahill was cast as Jennifer Aniston's assistant on Friends, it was easy to see why she risked her job for an office affair and nicknamed him Sweet Cheeks. Even though Eddie recently traded his onscreen boy-toy persona for a tough-guy role as homicide detective Don Flack on CSI:NY, he still plays the younger man in real life. (His girlfriend is eight years older than he is.) Sorry ladies, this hottie, who can also be seen in this month's flick Lords of Dogtown, won't be frisking you anytime soon.

What do you do when you aren't filming CSI:NY?

My girlfriend and I adopted another dog from the pound yesterday, so lately we're sort of babysitting the puppies.

Do you play up your New York accent for the show?

I tend to beef it up a little. On Friends, I was supposed to be from Ohio, and in one episode, I went to a basketball game with Joey and I had the hardest time saying hot "dog" instead of "dawg". I was really close to asking if we could change the word to frankfurter.

What do you look for in a woman?

A strong value system, loyalty, and directness - a woman who isn't so concerned with being everybody's friend.

What's a total turn-off?

Impoliteness, rudeness, and anyone mean. I don't like people who tease. You can be anything else under the sun, but if you're mean to people, you're out.
