PEOPLE LISTS STEPHEN IN THEIR HOTTEST 25 BACHELORS

BAKERY OWNER//FITNESS INSTRUCTOR//ACTOR

Age: 33  Height: 6'3"  Status: never married Residence: a Manhattan apartment
Education: San Francisco State University, B.A.

CV: After losing 82 lbs. by eating sensibly and exercising, Lincoln decided others would benefit from his regimen, which allowed sweets in moderation. The idea behind The Protein Bakery, launched in 1999, is "to take a cookie or a brownie, which people eat all the time, and add balance and nutrition to it," says Lincoln. Between his duties as group fitness director at Manhattan's DavidBartonGym and acting jobs—he's appeared on Guiding Light—Lincoln and his staff oversee the production and delivery of 3,000 cookies and 2,000 brownies a week. They're sold in upscale department stores and online as well as in New York City gyms, coffee shops and theaters. Says Lincoln: "I may not be on Broadway just yet, but my cookies are."

What a catch: He’s big on romantic getaways, says friend Christine Carrigan, a fitness director for Crunch gyms. “He’ll plan trips from beginning to end.”
