Haven't gone back since it was cancelled, but I adored the x files back when it aired. That was one of the shows that come by every so often (for me) that hook you and draw you in. Some shows I watch for entertainment value exclusively, I have a handful of guilty pleasures; but ones like this go beyond that. Intelligent dialgue, complex characters and storylines. I suppose "Fringe" is the new x-files void for me, but I haven't seen that one in over a year if not more. Need to get back to it and see if it holds the same appeal it started with.
Oh, and for other characters you should have recommended, well that's tricky. It's your list. You should recommend who you like. But from the top of my head, I would have liked to have seen:
Kiefer Sutherland - 24 Nathan Fillion - Castle Emily Rose - Haven Hugh Laurie - House Patrick Stewart or Michael Dorn - Star Trek Next Generation Luke MacFarlane - Brothers and Sisters Joshua Jackson or John Noble - Fringe Someone from reality TV
Though you may have done some of those. Can't remember them all ;) These posts were a lot of fun. Thanks!
Perhaps one day I'd dare to compile my own, maybe..... though it was much more fun reading yours.
That said, it wouldn't be as structured as a top 40 characters for me. It would be an ecclectic non objective list of people I am "drawn to", which can range from a host of things from relating to the character they play, being amused / entertained, finding them attractive, finding the character in some way stimulating, characters that make me happy to watch, or liking the actor for who they are as a person despite the role they play. Not sure what I'd call that. I reckon "actors I like" should cover it ;)
