I was listening to some debates today about the best movie in the past 20 years. Naturally, that sparked some debate amongst my roommates and myself. Somehow that conversation spiraled into best television shows and eventually ended up at who our favorite television characters were. Now this list is not who I think the best character of all time is, so easy on the hate. I like to think of this list as who I would best like to play, or who I would like to be friends with.
HERE WE GO – my list is all about uniqueness and depth. I love a very unique, or one of a kind character, but the thing that really draws me to a character is there depth. Are they just what they seem or do they really struggle with something a lot deep.
