Love the list..and I totally agree with Desmond on Lost (and Locke too)..but Desmond came out of no where, and I think is the best actor on that show...

Great pick!!! SHELDON!! I was going to put him since I am such a BIG BANG whore..but definately yes...

[Kirkman1987]

Damn.....this is gonna be hard. I'm not even going to try to do this logically. I'm just going to name five that come to my head at this moment.

Number 6 from The Prisoner - This is interesting because we never learn a great deal about number 6. who was he? either way, Patrick Mcgoohan gave an amazing performance, Manic and paranoid, but intelligent enough to sometimes claim small victories over his new society. You couldn't take your eyes off him.

Albert Rosenfeld from Twin Peaks - There are at least three or four Twin Peaks characters that belong here (Cooper, Gordon Cole, Leland) but I'll choose a supporting player instead of one of the leads like Agent Cooper.

this about covers it

seriously, what an asshole

Hawkeye from M*A*S*H - Single greatest television comedy ever. Alan Alda was at the center of the show week to week, so I'll give a nod to him. Everyone in this cast deserves praise however.

Dexter in Dexter - The show and character is just like nothing else on Television.

Gene Hunt from Life on Mars / Ashes to Ashes - It is a testament to this character that Ashes to Ashes even exists. I have no doubt that the idea of doing a sequel was on the notion of bringing back Gene Hunt, who is awesome. I will make a bold statement and say that Gene Hunt is the Best TV cop ever.
