My 10 Favorite Current Television Actors

[arabian]

Randomly, I started thinking on this while rambling on Twitter about Kaley Cuoco in 8 Simple Rules, and it led to a list of my faves -- that I've subsequently made some changes to upon further thought. These are the ten television actors (five male/five female) who are currently gracing screens right now. (Which means that, yeah, one person on

So many of these are some of my favs too, Parsons and Cuoco obviously, and I've really grown to appreciate Stravhoski on Chuck (and Zach Levi for the same reason - the ability for comic goofiness, as well as great dramatic moments).

Billie Piper of course. Love both DW and SDoaCG. I remember her being in the charts in New Zealand when she came out. She is a little older than me, but essentially her music was aimed at "my" market. I can still remember the words to her songs, lol. Which is kind of embarassing now, to think of it.

NPH ♥ He will forever be awesome no matter what, even though yes, HIMYM has been mostly LAME this season.

Nathan Fillion makes Castle far better than the premise. He has a certain charm to him that makes me happy to watch him in anything.

And I really need to catch up with Lie to Me.

I'd pretty much be f&*ing done with Barney professionally at this point were it not for that adorable twinkle in NPH's eye

I know exactly what you mean. It's moments like that where I remember that I hate the writers, not Barney/NPH. ;p

I've liked him going back to his days on One Life to Live

Hee, I remember him then! He was very sweet (Joey Buchanan, right?) The next thing I saw him in was "Buffy," so I remember being...shocked. ;p

That Allison Brie does not look like an actress -- but that's a really cool quality. She just looks like a normal, pretty girl-next-door. :D

Allison Brie can look amazingly gorgeous; they just really, really downplay any hint of that on Community, and the shot I chose for her and not the character happened to be one where she had her hair pulled back like on the show. With her hair down, it really glams her up. But with that said, she does have a normal, pretty girl-next-door quality, yes.

Cool. Now do your most hated!

[arabian]

No, I don't work that. I concentrate on the positives (or rant about the negatives in stuff I love). I would never spend a lot of time and effort on something I hate. Eww!

Some nice choices. :-)

I didn't like Kaley Cuoco for a while because of 8 Simple Rules, but I like her much better in TBBT.

As for Enver, I thought he was just okay on DH until that one episode where Topher programmed his personality into Victor. It was hilarious; he imitated him to a T. So yeah, I hope he gets another show. Still bummed about the show ending. And still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor after last Friday's episode.

I love Bridget!! She's so my favorite character on 8 Simple Rules. :( And Enver had me in season one after the Roger/Catherine episode.

Ah well.

Nathan is just lovely; so very, very lovely.

I agree with many of your choices. I love Billie Piper and I think she's really great in Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and she seems like such an awesome person in real life as well.

And I'm pretty much sure that Jim Parsons would be awesome in anything. He's truly amazing and he's pretty much the reason why I love the character Sheldon Cooper so much. And it's always great fun to watch him in interviews and on talk shows.

And Nathan Fillion. I loved him in Firefly and I'm so glad that he's on TV again. And Castle is awesome.

Just yes. She's amazing all-around.

Jim Parson = Awesome. True fact.

Nathan is fabulous.
