Who are your favourite characters? Stick to TV, film, books or theater.

Do a top 10, top 20, do a whole page. The ones that made you laugh, cry, shit yourself, hate them.

Also great characters discussion thread.

For me and in no particular order:

Jimmy mcnaulty - the wire
Omar - the wire
Ari gold - entourage
Rustin cohle - true detective
Tony Montana - scarface
Tommy DeVito - Goodfellas
Hannibal lector - silence of the lambs
Bobby buchet - the water boy
Alonso Harris - Training Day
Maximus Decimus - Gladiator
Ben - Seven Pounds
One punch Mickey - Snatch
Kunta Kinte - Roots (book)
Ray - in Bruges
Tyler Durden - Fight Club

So many more to name, but those come to mind.

Lol that was supposed to be Jimmy mcnulty. My bad.

Peggy is arguably greatest character ever made.

Meadow is awesome. Watching entourage ATM and it bugged me as I couldn't remember where I'd seen her before. Looked her up and she was in soprano.

Iago - from Orthello. Evil and paranoia personified. If you get a good actor playing him it's about as good as theatre gets.

Jean Valjean - from Les Miserables. The very last word in musical theatre. Usually played by a great actor and world class singer, the character dominates Les Mis from start to finish.

Hans Lander from the film Inglorious Bastards. Absolutely stunning performance from Christoph Waltz. Tarantino himself made it clear that he wouldn't have been able to make the film if he hadn't found Waltz. The character is utterly evil and manipulative. One of those who you should hate but their charisma makes you root for them and leaves you hating yourself as a result!

More to follow.

Disturbed my man Tyrion's not been mentioned!

Tyrion Lannister - GOT
Michael Scott, Dwight Schrute - The Office
Ron Swanson - Parks and Rec
Tony Stark - Marvel
Homer Simpson - Simpsons
Han Solo - Star Wars
Tony Soprano - Sopranos
Bill Adama - Battlestar Galactica
Malcolm Reynolds - Firefly
Gandalf - LOTR

And to show I'm not a total noob I'll throw in a character from a book (although they did make a movie of it)

Hassan - Kite Runner

Favorites out of that list would have to be Michael Scott and Tyrion! There's plenty more but I can't quite think of them right now!
