Tough one... Maybe Wesley from Buffy/Angel. But Walter White from Breaking Bad is really close... shit... so is Vic Mackey. Dammit... this question is rough

It's a tie, Bret Mavrick and James Rockford.

On any given day, you might say your favorite drink was a chocolate milk shake, but on that terrible day when you get stranded in the desert, all you crave is a glass of water.

On that note

I'd probably go with Jack Bauer or Vince McMahon.

G'Kar, from Babylon 5.



The character arc for him is stunning. Andreas Katsulas' performances in the role were relevatory. The character goes from a brash, loud, aggressive, angry warrior to an introspective, caring, philosophical deep thinker and religious leader who has learned from his mistakes - and nothing about the character arc feels fake or forced. The seeds for his englightenment are shown early on, even if they were disguised as seemingly throwaway lines here and there. Absolutely brilliant writing and acting make G'Kar the best character ever on TV and my personal favorite.
G'Kar was amazing, however he does not shine by himself. Londo and him together is what made him stand out and is what made them something really special.

I just wanted to toss in Boyd Crowder from Justified and Job from Banshee as two characters that steal every scene they are in.

I just started over on Scrubs last week and was thinking my runner up might be Dr. Cox.

There is some truth to that, but at the same time G'Kar worked well with everyone. G'Kar & Londo just played off each other perfectly and had a lot of great scenes together. Plus their growth and change as characters relied on the other.

But Andreas Katsulas as G'Kar was simply amazing. His performances in the role were all kinds of all time greatness.

John Crichton from Farscape. Its a show I can always get in to and Ben Browder does a great job as the lead. Also loved Claudia Black as Aeryn Sun.

The entire cast was great. That was really the first modern sitcom and it remains one of the all time best!

Re: Who is your Favourite ever TV Character ?

Probably these two:



Hunter is my all time favorite television show. I considered becoming a cop because of that show but am glad I outgrew that. What I didn't outgrow was my love for women. I knew I was straight as an arrow watching Stepfanie Kramer on that show. She was absolutely gorgeous.
