Hook it up

[RoXer]

Oh man, my list would be pretty big.

Yours is a good start though.

[thedamndest]

Are you limiting this to one per show? Because there are some shows that I would literally pick the entire main cast.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Dwight Schrute - The Office
Benjamin Linus - Lost
Randy Marsh - South Park
Dr. Perry Cox - Scrubs

So many shows to think about. I know I'm missing some great ones.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Al Swearengen - Deadwood
Jethro Leroy Gibbs - NCIS
Gaius Baltar - Battlestar Galactica
Dr. Perry Cox - Scrubs
Rodney McKay - Stargate SG-1/Atlantis (I think he just sneaks into the 2000s)

Probably a load more which aren't coming to mind at the moment.

[Inadequacy]

Dennis Duffy - 30 Rock

[Boondock Saint]

Vic Mackey - The Shield

Dr. Christian Troy - Nip/Tuck

Jack Bauer - 24

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Ben Linus was a big one for me. Sawyer really stepped up too, in the last season.

Aside from Lost? Gotta go with Jack Bauer, no doubt.

Not only that, but did anyone think of Miguel Prado first thing when they saw this topic? Prado was a genius character.

[Buzzkill]

lol yes definitely Leon from Curb. Good call.

[The Genius]

entire cast of Oz

[#1-norm-fan]

Dwight Schrute easily tops the list...

[What Would Kevin Do?]

looks like vic mackey was mentioned so my work isnt necessary.

Tommy Gavin from Rescue Me.

Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Patty Hughes from Damages

Gemma and Clay from Sons of Anarchy

Shawn and Gus from Psych (sorry, I just love the show)

Ryan O'Riley from Oz

[IC Champion]

Al Swearengen - Deadwood

Larry David - Curb Your Enthusiam

[IC Champion]

Andy Botwin - Weeds

[Nervous Ferret]

ARI GOLD

[Skippord]

Dexter Morgan
Hank Moody
Jack Bauer

[Boondock Saint]

Coach Eric Taylor - Friday Night Lights

[BigDaddyCool]

Bender Bending Rodríguez - Futurama
Master Shake - ATHF
William Murderface - Metalocalypse

[BigDaddyCool]

Actually Philip J Fry of Futurama is much more of an epic character than Bender. Bender is hilarious, Philip is a bit tragic which gives him more depth.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Dexter Morgan and Tony Soprano

[Anybody Thrilla]

John McGuirk - Home Movies
Ari Gold - Entourage
Murray - Flight of the Conchords
Kenny "fucking" Powers - East Bound and Down

[Hanso Amore]

Tommy Gavin - Rescue Me

Hands down

[BigDaddyCool]

John McGuirk - Home Movies

Don't give me that. :roll:

Though I know a guy that is pretty much Coach McGuirk in person. Once my brother told Tom (the guy that is McGuirk) that he is basically the same guy as McGuirk. Tom answers, "So what? Is he like a cool guy?" Which pretty much cemented his status as McGuirk.

[Boondock Saint]

Captain Jack Harkness - Torchwood

Anyone who's ever seriously watched Deadwood knows that Al Swearengen is the man. :y:

And if you haven't seen Deadwood yourself, and have a brain enough to process some of the dialogue, give it a go. (From the beginning of course.)
