Best character of all time?

ColeTrain

What character do you like the most, from anything - Film, Books, TV, Video games etc ?

It's a tough question.

But seeing as I just got up to date with Breaking Bad, I'm going to say Walter "Heisenberg" White. He's a good guy doing bad things for his family. Honestly there could be easily 100 more I could choose.

Sky King

I like the interrobang myself.

The way he ended up murdering his son ruined Heisenberg for me.

Count Dracula would be up there, the amount of variations of the character that have existed is crazy, with the original book being the best version naturally enough. The influence the character has had on the horror genre alone is probably unmatched.

Paulie Walnuts in the Sopranos is who I would consider my favourite, as opposed to best, per se. Such an all round loveable lunatic.

Immaculate Pasta

Vito Corleone.

Absolutely fascinating character and you can chronicle his life from Sicily to becoming the most powerful Mafia head in America. You learn much more about his life in the novel but Pacino and De Niro do fantastic portrayals of him in the films as well.

Niles

Charlie Sheen... :rolleyes:

Not sure who my favourite is, but Snape from the Harry Potter books would be up there as one of the "best". (My reasons are spoilered as courtesy to those who haven't read all the books.)

I mean it's one thing to sacrifice your life knowing people will remember you has a hero, he goes on living knowing that all good people hate him, knowing that what he is doing is for the greater good. He sacrifices his own reputation for the cause of good, the real hero of the books if you ask me.

And yet I've only bothered seeing the first three films...

Oh and Desmond and Ben from Lost are pretty good too, along with Barney from HIMYM...
