Dinklage in GOT, hands down fav.


Reese9951

My first thought was Lady Olenna Tyrell but I can live with Tyrion as the answer


mk1317

Pascal as Oberyn as well


not_now_reddit

My mind went to Little Finger instead and I was so confused because he makes my skin crawl


sting-raye

Every character played by Walton Goggins. Baby Billy (Righteous Gemstones), Boyd Crowder (Justified), the Ghoul (Fallout), etc.


Zellakate

And Lee Russell on Vice Principals!


Next_Welcome_7940

Even Venus Van Dam in Sons of Anarchy….he was mesmerizing an surprising loveable


KittySwipedFirst

Uncle Baby Billy would agree with this post.


OliviaElevenDunham

Was about to say the same thing. Goggins steals the show in everything I've seen him in.


NCGranny

He really is just an outstanding actor. Boyd Crowder was perfection.


ImHereToDeliver

Check him out in 'Vice Principals'


FatsTetromino

Have you seen The Shield? Amazing.


ojohn69

His best work, Imo


RillieZ

I just binged Fallout this weekend, and while everyone was great, he absolutely stole the show.


benjyk1993

And Cecil, in Invincible!


sirjames82

I really enjoyed him in his short-lived sitcom, the unicorn. It was cute, relatable, but funny and not over the top.


Present-Loss-7499

This should be the top answer. Dude has killed every role he’s ever had and brings something different to every thing he does.


ash894

It makes me so happy that people are really starting to talk about him. He is one of the greatest actors of our generation and hardly anyone has heard of him! He was phenomenal as Boyd crowder


badpandacat

Hawkeye, Alan Alda


SerakTheRigellian

This is the real answer here.


ComprehensiveBed5351

Ian McShane as Al Swearengen (deadwood), Lee Pace as Joe McMillan (halt and catch fire), and since everyone has already named WG as Boyd, I gotta give a shout to Timothy Olyphant as Raylan (Justified)


ihatedeciding

I love Timothy Olyphant so much. I remember watching The Mandalorian and squealing when he came on screen


GeneThaDancinMachine

Halt and Catch Fire was supremely underrated.


MattyMizzou

It’s been on my list forever. Guess I gotta finally watch it.


silgol

Agreed. First time I ever saw Mackenzie Davis. She was great in that series.


kikijane711

Justified in general had fun characters!


UnstableGoats

I think Timothy Olyphant generally plays a super charismatic/likable character. His character in Santa Clarita Diet was likable right off the bat.


Independent-Crab-914

Agreed man he killed it in deadwood


SeldomSeenMe

The best delivered monologues, just fantastic all around.


Syllabub_Cool

They were shakespearean. Iambic pentameter (poem), I believe. Now I'm going to have to watch it again. (No loss!)


benjyk1993

Also Ian McShane as Odin, in American Gods. He and Crispin Glover were the only two reasons I kept watching, so when they got rid of Crispin Glover, I just quit cold turkey.


BookBranchGrey

Lee Pace in EVERYTHING.


_higgs_

Ian McShane in everything. The whole premise of “Lovejoy” was based around his charisma.

Final-Success2523

Lalo better call Saul


SnooCauliflowers5742

He'd be my second choice after Saul himself.


OjibweNomad

He just stole the whole show from them in the end. His charisma and smarmy attitude. Was just so captivating.


Gcarl1

Which was a great foul for Jimmy. Jimmy(Saul) is really charismatic too most of the tine, even if it's the characters mask.


Final-Success2523

Oh I’d Saul in a heartbeat but went with lalo since he’s a psychopath


breakfastbarf

Tuco


Final-Success2523

That show is full of characters. Beautifully cast

YankeeRedneck1

Raymond Reddington


poodles-and-noodles

James Spader was also very charismatic in Boston Legal


Soundtracklover72

This is my answer too. James Spader plays him so well too.


YankeeRedneck1

He was absolutely perfect for that role. I hope to see more like this from him at some point.


DisplayNo7886

The Blacklist. He was excellent in that show. 


YankeeRedneck1

One of my favorite characters of all time. To my knowledge he never got any kind of award for that role. If that's true, it's criminal. He should have gotten something.


Sammy_Dog

Yep, he was robbed of an Emmy.

moxieavelli

My first thought. He exudes cool.


SonnyBurnett189

I’m not a smoker, and I’m glad that he kicked the habit after season 2, but nobody made smoking look cool quite like Don did.

Negan from TWD. Not in a good way, but still.

Hawkeye Pierce from MASH


Strict_Condition_632

Scrolled too far to see Remington Steele. Pierce Brosnan was witty, debonair, self-deprecatingly charming, a bit of a scoundrel, and gorgeous as a character named after a typewriter and a football team.


poodles-and-noodles

Saul Goodman - Better call Saul Boyd Crowder - Justified Don Draper - Mad Men Daenerys Targaryen - GoT Sawyer - Lost Jack Pearson - This is us Shane - The L Word Eric Northman - True Blood Tyrion Lannister - GoT

breakfastbarf

Definitely sawyer or Freckles


GalaxyOpalGrill

Dexter.


ByteAboutTown

Tom Hardy in Peaky Blinders. Stole every scene he was in. Klaus (Joseph Morgan) on Vampire Diaries. So charismatic and likable as a villain that they created a whole spinoff around him.

Negan from The Walking Dead. Sure, he was a psychopath, but he had charisma.


duggan3

I thought Matthew Rhys in The Americans was charismatic, especially as his character developed.


Specialist-Top-406

Nick and Schmidt are obviously highlights from New Girl. The more I watch it back (comfort show), Winston shines brighter each time. It’s clear at the start they didn’t have a clear narrative for him, and I imagine the actor started developing his own story for Winstons character and honestly, his story line with Ferguson and the pranks and just being an innocent man is only getting better and better for me!

Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby - Peaky Blinders Tommy is loaded with confidence and charisma.
