People magazine will soon reveal their Sexiest Man Alive for 2017, but we have a sneak peek for another category right now: the sexiest cast on TV.

And their pick will come as no surprise to fans of a certain tearjerker drama.

Milo Ventimiglia (Jack), Sterling K. Brown (Randall) and Justin Hartley (Kevin) spoke to magazine about the honor.

"We just try to be as sexy as possible," Brown said when they gathered for a photo shoot.

"Sterl, you don't need to try, man. You just are," Ventimiglia shot back.

As for Hartley, he agreed and deadpanned, "Stubble and forgiveness, that's my mantra.
