McDreamy and McSteamy should watch their backs – Jesse Williams is heating up the set of the latest season of Grey's Anatomy. Playing the role of Dr Jackson Avery, this delicious actor has followers of the popular show drooling on their TV sets.

Before he started acting, Jesse worked at a law firm and taught history and English at an American high school. We're glad he chose a different career path though! While his on-screen character may be sultry and hardcore, when asked to describe himself in four words on BettyConfidental.com, he used 'driven, funny, happy and appreciative'. Now, that sounds good.

Rihanna may have been the first to pick up on Jesse's hautness when she featured him in her 'Russian Roulette' music video: watch it on YouTube if you want to see a grungier Jesse outside his usual scrubs and squeaky-clean white coat.

Don't miss Jesse in Grey's Anatomy VI, Monday nights at 7.30pm on M-Net.
