I'm just wondering this - why do so many people seem to hate Marc?

I really disliked Riley (though I think the poor guy was a scapegoat for the general lousiness of Buffy's sb68eason four) and couldn't stand Sheila on Rescue Me, but I love both Blucas and Callie Thorne on Necessary Roughness. It's nice to hear that he's cool in real life, too.
As for the hate, I think some idiots just can't separate the actor from the role.

I like Marc! He is gorgeous and I didn't even hate Riley despite the fact I love Buffy/Angel. I don't know why everyone hated Riley so much, I didn't particularly love the character but I didn't see anything that wrong with him. Whoever Buffy was with after Angel people were going to hate regardless.

I disliked him for a long time (mostly due to Riley - I am a Whedon fan, and I usually think his characters are the best parts of his writing, but Riley was a terrible character) until I saw him in "Prey for Rock and Roll". I've liked him ever since then.
I think hating Riley was such a habit for everyone that it rubbed off on the actor, unfortunately. I haven't seen enough of his stuff to know if he's bad or not, but he does tend to get typecast in the annoyingly rigid white bread roles (I think that's why I liked him as Animal in PfR&R so much) that are destined to get thrown over by the heroine for another, more exciting guy.
