Just a thread to discuss your favorite characters from various television shows. They don't have to be "the best" or extremely well developed. Just a character you related to, found entertaining/interesting, etc.

Private Practice is a ridiculous drama laden, soapy mess centered around a group of doctors running a "small town" type medical practice in L.A., I was getting read to throw in the towel towards the end of season three when they introduced Amelia Shepherd. A world class neruosurgeon who is just finding her place in the world. She's a former narcotics addict who gradually uses alcohol as a gateway drug before slipping back into pill abuse during seasons four and five.

I appreciated how realistically Shonda Rimes portrayed Amelia's turbulent descent into alcohol/pill abuse. AA and NA are typically so overly dramatized or egregiously misportrayed in shows that I was worried about her introduction. Luckily Rhimes did her homework and thanks to stellar acting on Caterina Scorsone's part she quickly became one of my favorite television characters.

Plus there's more to her than her sordid past/ (then) present abuse. She's very funny and offers the occasional deep insight into a case. But I'm done talking about some now-cancelled show.

Honorable mention to Donald Draqer from Mad Men, Walter White from Breaking Bad, and David Tennant's portrayal of the Doctor from Doctor Who.

What's are some of yours?

Everyone IRL thinks I act like Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory. I'm not sure what they mean.

Not too sure what to choose from. My most loved character would probably be Wilson from Castaway. Because when he "died", it was the only time I've cried.

And I think I'm slowly turning into a George Michael from Arrested Development.

One of the greatest TV moments by one of the greatest TV characters in history.

EDIT: link parsing was bugging out on me.

I always liked Homer Simpson more then Peter Griffin, I even done Homer's trade mark drool sound IRL (and on these forums) from time to time and I have a love of Doughnuts.

Who doesn't love Wilson?

I won't let this thread get to page 2 without mentioning Peter Dinklage's Tyrion Lannister.

Well I can't think of any TV show characters but I saw Wilson being mentioned so I guess movies are fine too. In which case mine would be Charles Bronson from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMJ1c3qxOWc. Not my favorite character by any means but in a sense the one I can relate to the most (so obviously he won't be my favorite ).

Stannis Baratheon and Davos Seaworth from Game of Thrones

Dale from Walking Dead

The characters in general on King of the Hill

The best comment I have seen in a while.
