He's smart, he's handsome, he does the grocery shopping--yup, Benjamin Bratt is officially one of our favorite fantasies. Here, the star of A&E's new drama The Cleaner (Tuesdays, 10 p.m. ET/PT) gives us his advice for tackling at-home projects.

"Make household projects a family affair. Whether I'm building a wood desk for my home office or planting tomatoes in the backyard, I always include my two young kids (ages 5 and 2) in the task. They'll help me hammer a nail or mix the soil. They get a kick out of helping me, and it also instills in them a love of work, which I learned from my own parents. The bonus--and a tip to the husbands out there--is that my wife is thrilled that things get done, and loves to show her appreciation for it!"
