MARK VALLE
Brad Chase, ABC's Boston Legal

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we have before us a graduate of West Point who served five years in the Army and now portrays a driven attorney. We intend to prove that 40-year-old Hark Valley, a single father of one, is also a family man and a romantic at heart.

Where are you on Wednesday nights?
"I watch Americas Next Top Model with my 17-year-old daughter."

What would you say you've done to impress a woman?
"I find out what her favorite food is, then I'll probably have someone deliver it. I'm not the best cook."

Would you say you're a sensitive man?
"I am an actor. I'm pretty perceptive in terms of other people's feelings or thoughts or physical cues, things like that."

Summation: His devotion to family and sincerity in finding love are clear. "I would love to have more children," he says. "I am single right now but not necessarily out of principle. I enjoy dating and meeting new people. Self-awareness is probably the sexiest thing I can think of" We rest our case.
