TV Show Meme! Day 14!

Day 14 - Favorite male character

This is pretty easy -- I am going to go with the character who immediately popped into my head. Spy Daddy from Alias, aka Jack Bristow. Do I even need to explain?

First of all, he's amazing. He's living, like, a quadruple life! He's funny. He's pithy. I really relate to him, which I know sounds sort of stupid, but whatever -- the first time I watched Alias, he was literally the only character I liked. Well, him and Anna from K-Directorate. He's willing to do anything and sacrifice anything in pursuit of his goal, which is to keep his daughter safe, even from himself. He will kill, lie, steal, torture, maim, live an entire fake life, and even sacrifice their relationship to make sure that she stays safe. That man is driven, and focused, and determined, and also amazingly talented and totally awesome.

(Also, he's played by Victor Garber, who is hilarious, and has an incredible sense of comedic and dramatic timing.)

Pre-Alias, the answer to this question would have probably been Commander Riker. Heh.
