    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.

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

    Three stand out for me at the moment are

    Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series

    And

    Nick Naylor from Thank You For Smoking


    But both get beaten by Edmund Dantes

    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.

    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.
