20 Magnificent Male TV Characters from 2017

19. Gregg Otto (American Housewife)

American Housewife’s Greg Otto has an undying love for two things in his life: his family and history. When he isn’t working on his own novels, he’s busy making his way through life one joke at a time with his fantastic family.

20. Eliot Waugh (The Magicians)

Being turned into royalty and acquiring your own magic kingdom isn’t easy, but Eliot Waugh knows how to fake it till he makes it. His ingenious level of sarcasm and wit is nothing to be messed with; these factors are a significant reason why he’s one of the best males on The Magicians.
