Move over all of Modern Family's children, there's a new funny kid on the block. Stealing every scene he's in, Tsai's Bert is the best part of one of our favorite new shows of the season.
You'd think in a series about Norman Bates that the actor playing Norman Bates (a solid Freddie Highmore) would steal the show. But Thieriot, who plays Norman's older half-brother Dylan, has become the A&E hit's breakout star. You want to shield him from the madhouse that is Norma and Norman's life.
It's no easy task going up against James Spader in all of his devious glory as Redd on NBC's breakout drama, but Boone more than holds her own bring emotional depth and weight to all of her scenes.
It's about wolkin' time! After earning praise for his work on Fox's shortlived Lone Star and delighting us as Max's perfect new BF on Happy Endings (RIP), Wolk finally broke out in 2013. Wolk charms us on the reg on CBS' The Crazy Ones and conned us as the mini-Don Draper Bob Benson on Mad Men.
Was there a better introduction to a character this year than Marcel performing "How You Like Me Now" at a karaoke bar? Yeah, we liked him. A lot. It's hard to root for Joseph Morgan's Klaus when he's up against Davis' charismatic and compelling Marcel. All hail the Kind of New Orleans!
Being bad's never looked so fun! The role of Peter Pan casts a large shadow and OUAT had quite the challenge to find an actor perfect for the part. But Kay made it look easy, scaring us and thrilling us in a single scene as the scariest 17-year-old we've encountered on the small screen in quite some time.
All hail the CW's new leading lady! Kane, who appeared on Teen Wolf before taking the reigns of this period drama, is the perfect Mary, Queen of Scots, striking the perfect balance between strong and vulnerable, political strategist and hopeless romantic. Plus, she's rocking those headbands and gowns like a pro already. (Eat your heart out, Blair Waldorf!)
We couldn't help it, Winston's cat meowed his way right into our hearts. We'd so take him on a double date too.
Come on, how could we choose between these two? Beharie and Mison are both individually worthy of praise for their performances as Abbie and Crane on Fox's new hit drama, but together they are pure magic and their banter is irresistible.
And with seven roles, TV's newest star was born. On the BBC America hit, Maslany wows us every minute she is on screen, whether she's an playing uptight soccer mom, a reformed London punk kid or a crazy religious murderer. The Clone Club was the club all the cool kids wanted into in 2013 and that was all thanks to Maslany.
