The Top Ten
1 Jensen Ackles (Supernatural) Jensen Ross Ackles is an American actor and director. He is mostly known for his role as Dean Winchester on the CW fantasy series Supernatural. He is also known for his roles in television as Eric Brady in Days of Our Lives, which earned him several Daytime Emmy Award nominations, as well as Alec/X5-494... read more

There's no better actor than Jensen Ackles. I compare all other actors to him now, and I watch a lot of action movies. For me, he stands out every time. I can't help but think that Jensen would have played it better. I want him to be a superhero in a Marvel movie, but I don't want Supernatural to end, so I'm okay with my superhero Dean Winchester. -SS

One word to describe Jensen Ackles: "talented." I really hope one day Jensen can find his way in the movie world. He's the best.

He's talented, good-looking, funny, and he really can pick some good roles to play... so he's got it all. Jensen Ackles is great.

2 David Duchovny (The X-Files) David William Duchovny is an American actor, writer, producer, director, novelist, and singer-songwriter.

Californication and The X-Files rule! David Duchovny is one of the best actors in the world. He is multi-talented: an excellent writer, director, and actor. He didn't need to be so handsome.

David is a top-class actor who deserves every award that exists. I have never seen Supernatural, but I am sure nothing can compare to David.

Jensen Ackles is still a baby compared to David Duchovny. Why are teen girls allowed on this site, by the way? VOTE FOR DAVID!

3 Joachim Kaps (Ferienheim Bergkristall)

Kaps brings energy and easygoing charisma to the role of the womanizing ski instructor Hans-Günther Koch.

4 Olly Taylor (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance)
5 Lucian Msamati (His Dark Materials)
6 Matthew Fox (Lost)
7 Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul)
8 Chris O'Dowd (The IT Crowd)

O'Dowd brings charisma and magnetism to a character who would usually be unlikable.

9 Alec Baldwin (30 Rock)
10 Aart Staartjes (Sesamstraat)

Critics of Sesamstraat felt that the show was too idyllic, so the crew created a more down-to-earth character than the rest: Meneer Aart. This was the role Staartjes was born to play. His other roles were too childish or unsympathetic, but this character is much more subdued, making him more likable and relatable. He serves as a comic foil to the chipper and cheerful Pino.

The Contenders
11 Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom)
