13. Titus Andromedon (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt)

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Titus is a passionate soul who loves his friends and isn’t afraid to say it like it is. He’s also one of the best parts (and there are a lot of great parts) of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

14. Mike Ehrmantraut (Better Call Saul)

As incredible as Mike is in Breaking Bad, nothing compares to seeing more of his backstory on Better Call Saul. Even then, he’s been through hell and back, and he’ll do whatever he has to protect his family, even if it means making some unthinkable choices.

15. Elliot Alderson (Mr. Robot)

Elliot Alderson, played by the incredibly talented Rami Malek, captivates us with every single episode of Mr. Robot. Elliot continues to struggle with trying change the world, but his alter-ego lacks the same moral compass he does. He’s seriously one of the most interesting characters on television right now.

16. Jon Snow (Game of Thrones)

Jon Snow may not sit on the Iron Throne, but he ruled Season 6 of Game of Thrones. His resurrection was somewhat predictable, but it set Jon on a new course.

We always knew that Jon Snow could be a great leader, but in Season 6, we saw him become one. He made tough decisions and was harsher, all while being quite tender with Sansa when they finally reunited. Jon was nearly killed again in the epic Battle of the Bastards, but he emerged as the King of the North. With Jon Snow’s parentage finally revealed, it looks like he is a true contender to rule Westeros.

17. Rufus Carlin (Timeless)

Rufus Carlin began the show as a lily-livered, yellow-bellied, neurotic mess of an engineer who wanted nothing more than to stay home and pine over the girl he loves from afar.

Through repeated exposure to life-threatening, often historical danger, however, Rufus has become a resourceful pilot and an essential member of the team who now fears that he may be wading too far into the waters of the dark side.

18. Glenn Rhee (The Walking Dead)

In the past seven years, we saw Glenn evolve from a lovable dork into a quiet, confident leader.

After beating the worst odds in seasons past, it finally seemed like the Walking Dead favorite was in the clear. He was reunited with Maggie and had a child on the way. But given the ruthless nature of the show, the most merciful of characters receive the severest punishments.

After getting his head smashed in by Negan, Glenn’s resolve remained as his parting words to his wife left a glimmer of hope in a bleak, cruel world.

  • Your list is bogus without Eric Christian Olsen from NCIS LA. He is having the the best season ever.

  • I like Malcolm Barrett as Rufus on Timeless and also Love Wyatt played by Matt Lanter!
