Tom Berenger - "Jim Vance", Hatfields and McCoys
Powers Boothe - "Judge Valentine 'Wall' Hatfield", Hatfields and McCoys
Martin Freeman - "Dr. John Watson", Sherlock
Evan Peters - "Tate Langdon", American Horror Story
Zachary Quinto - "Chad", American Horror Story
Berenger and Boothe represented two poles on the Hatfield side - the eye-for-an-eye firebrand of Vance and the measured, highly rational mediator of Wall Hatfield. Freeman got to show not only how much Watson enjoys his life as a sleuth, but how deeply he's come to care about his friendship with Holmes. For all the attention Glee gets, Peters may have given this year's best performance as a teenager under the Ryan Murphy/Brad Falchuk umbrella, showing Tate's deep anger while also making him plausibly romantic as half of a ghostly Romeo and Juliet pairing. Like Tammy Lynn Michaels on Popular, Quinto was perfectly tuned to Murphy's particular wavelength, infusing his character with just the right mix of nastiness and out-and-out camp.
