@@arunjohn7459 so so true and house was my favorite fictional character for a long time till he was dethroned by RDJ’s Tony Stark/IronMan. House is still number 2 and number one of my favorite tv characters but well as a I said was dethroned by IronMan when it comes to fictional characters. RDJ is my favorite movie actor Hugh Laurie is my favorite tv actor. And while I understand totally that both actors have great roles besides IronMan and Dr House respectively, I feel no shame for saying my favorite performance of each is House for Hugh and Tony Stark for RDJ. With MCU I finally understood twihards and huge fans of Jennifer Lawrence fans in the hunger games trilogy. It’s just you spend so much time with those characters that you really end up loving them so much. I was franchise hater till I became a true bond fan and then an MCU fan when I got into the MCU crazy fandom I got what twihards felt with Pattinson. Sorry for going so out of topic

Jim Parsons was the perfect choice for Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory.

Don Knotts as Barney Fife. One of the funniest characters ever, and no one else could've done it.

Andre Braugher is one of the best and classiest actors in Hollywood. You can always be fairly certain he will be "on point" no matter the size of the role. NPH, Jim Parsons, and Hugh Laurie are also really terrific. I will always picture a "serial killer" when I see Michael C. Hall. I never seen Mad Men, not my thing. But I have seen Jon Hamm in other roles and he is pretty good.

The best comedian character ever
Suggestion: Top 20 evil children/adolescents in movies and TV shows.
For any _X-Files_ fan out there, I have to recommend both agents’ origin stories: _The X-Files Origins: Devil’s Advocate_ and _The X-Files Origins: Agent of Chaos._ Set in the first few days of April 1979, the former follows Scully as a young freshman at Francis Scott Key High School in Craiger, Maryland. However, she’s seen some disturbing visions, including a car crash victim that has come to her. This forces her to dig deep into this mystery, but more and more deaths come to her. It takes everything in Scully’s power to cast aside her religious beliefs and become the skeptic we all know and love. Meanwhile, Mulder’s problems in suburban Washington, D.C. go further than getting into a good college. It’s been five years since the disappearance of his sister from his old home in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, an event he still tries to solve alone. That isn’t easy with a divorced mother and a State Department father. The news of a dead kid and a missing one compel Mulder and his friends to track down the culprit, leading him to become our believer. You won’t be disappointed in those reads.
Sean Bean was perfect was Ned Stark because Sean Bean is really famous for his death scenes
I agree! You could’ve made a top 20 list easily.

Michael K Williams as Omar Little on the wire is perfect and I couldn't imagine anyone else doing that role. R.I.P.
Home Improvements Al Borland, who actually was just standing in for the actor that was too busy for the job and got it. Wilson. Zack Morris, Al Bundy. Red Forman. etc.
Um Jason Alexander as George Costanza?! Most award snubbed actor and one of the most memorable characters ever! Bad form watch mojo.
I really think Jon Hamm in Mad Men deserved a spot
While the whole show was perfectly cast, Titus Welliver did AMAZING as Harry Bosch. His brutal honesty, his toughness, his caring, his anger, his love, all perfectly mesh in one of my favorite tv shows ever.
I can't believe you didn't have Don Knox as Barney Fife. He did win multiple Emmy's for that role!

Tom Ellis as Lucifer(Lucifer) Ed O'Neil as Al Bundy(Married with children) Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers(Supergirl) Josh Dallas and Ginnifer Goodwin as Prince Charming and Snow white(Once Upon a time) Taylor Hickson and Amalia Holm as Raelle and Scylla(Motherland Fort Salem) Aiden Gallagher as Number 5(The Umbrella academy) Tyler Heochlyn as superman(Superman and Lois) Zach Braff as JD(Scrubs) Rose McGyver as Iiv Moore(izombie) Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock(Daredevil) Jon Burnthal as Frank Castle(the Punisher)
This video will live on to be viewed millions of times, but here we are, the first 100.
Not having Hugh Laurie as Dr. House in this list is bold, he perfectly encapsulated one of the most memorable TV characters. Would easily be a in a Top 3 of a list like this
Leonard Nimoy as Spock was the Best
I feel like the reason they didn't add Kristen Bell as Eleanor Shellstrop (The Good Place) was because it was too close between her and Ted Danson. Those two were the perfect team. That said, Tom Ellis as Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer) also deserves a shoutout.
My favourite perfectly cast TV characters.....Alyson Hannigan as Willow on Buffy, all 4 of the legendary Golden Girls, Vivian Vance as Ethel Mertz on I Love Lucy, Joan Collins as Alexis on Dynasty, to name a few. Dana Scully and Moira Rose definitely in my top 5.
I love Steve Carell. The only actor who could’ve replicated the performance and done it better is Bob Odenkirk.
Kelsey is incredible but David Hyde Pierce nailed Niles so well. He never over sells him but also is so over the top as him it's perfect. Matthew Perry as chandler is genius. Hugh Laurier as house deserves a place too.
I think there may have to be one or 2 more sequels to this. MORE 10 Perfectly Cast TV Characters.
Lmfao, I was just about to say Mulder or Scully should be on this...Nice!
Micheal Scott leaving Dunder Mifflin was the single most heartbreaking moment in TV history IMO.
Michael Richards as Kramer, Ian McShane in Deadwood, Timothy Olyphant in Justified, and Bokeem Woodbine as Mike Milligan in Fargo could not be replaced. I think Richards is Seinfeld’s secret weapon, because when you add his masterful physical comedy to the other ingredients on the show, it helps make it the best series ever.
Katey Sagal in virtually every role she's played. Not to mention she's an excellent Singer.
That episode of The Office where Michael is wearing the purple bandana (the thumbnail) was just on less than 30 minutes ago lol!
I’m not sure I would have put him top 10, but Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House is at least worth a mention. The way he turns a complete a-hole of a character into a fascinating, loveable star of the show is excellent and I don’t know who else could have done it that well.
not a big fan of the show,but sheldon cooper should have gotten atleast a honorable mention
John Ratzenberger as Cliff Clavin. Phil Hartman as Bill McNeal Both should have been on this list.
Tony Shalhoub as Monk, James Avery as Uncle Phil, Alex Borstein as Susie, Antony Starr as Homelander, Jason Alexandrer as George Constanza (or Jerry Stiller as Frank).
Unknown Hinson As Early Cuyler In Squidbillies Was the best also Patrick Warburton as Brock Samson awesome
So many for me: Dean and Sam Winchester - Supernatural - Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. Castiel - Supernatural - Misha Collins. Walter White- Breaking Bad- Bryan Cranston. Jesse Pinkman- Breaking Bad- Aaron Paul. Fox Mulder- The X-Files - David Duchovny. Dana Scully - The X-Files - Gillian Anderson. Tyrion Lannister - Game Of Thrones - Peter Dinklage. Geralt Of Rivia - The Witcher - Henry Cavill. Spartacus - Spartacus Blood and Sand, Spartacus Vengeance, Spartacus War Of The Damned - Andy Whitfield and Liam McIntyre. Oliver Queen/Green Arrow- Arrow- Stephen Amell - Arrow. Barry Allen/The Flash- Grant Gustin. John Constantine - Constantine, Arrow, Legends Of Tomorrow - Matt Ryan. Can probably think of loads more!!.
I love how they acknowledge Peter Dinklage is attractive. He is. And that deep voice, it's like butter. And I think them not showing the full extent of Tyrion's birth defects, and disfiguring injuries Tyrion later gets during Blackwater in the books, shows how petty and judgemental characters like Cersei and the whole of Westeros can be. They'd view a little person as a monster or a lesser person no matter what. As well, Peter is older than the actors playing his older siblings (there is a big age difference between the twins and their little brother) and looks older, so I believe that can be seen as a possible "birth defect." Honestly Tyrion was one of my favorites and someone to look forward to when the show got bad. And he wouldn't be drawing me in unless Peter Dinklage played him.
Lots of great mentions here but one of my favorites seems to be forgotten... Dennis Frantz as Detective Andy Sipowicz (NYPD Blue)
Am i the only one who's missing Wentworth Miller as Michael Scofield (Prison Break) in this list......???
Have to add Lauren Graham as Lorelai Gilmore & Kristen Bell as Veronica Mars. Also: Jim Parsons (Big Bang), Hugh Laurie (House) and Emily van Camp (Amanda/Emily on Revenge).
