Alright, I'm sitting here watching HBO, and it got me thinking who my favorite character through out all of their shows. Say within the last 5-10 years. There's Larry David, Mr. Italian Soprano, Richard Winters in Band o Brothers, etc. But after all of this treacherous thinking, I believe that The Sherpa, Season 1, Entourage is by far the best HBO character in recent years :oops: . Any thoughts?

That's right, I went Wire and Wire only.

I've always liked Prop Joe... it's damn impressive how he was on top for such a long time.

Too many to really mention but some one's that immediate thought of were Nate Fisher, Murray Hewitt from Flight of the Conchords, the Crypt Keeper and if go back really far Martin Tupper from Dream On. I excluded Larry David as he's really not a character but a real person playing a version of himself. As a result I also had to exclude Jemaine Clement.

Tony Soprano...best character in television history...move over Mr Spock...I don't think any other character was written and acted with such depth...

 

After Tony, it goes Arthur ("Larry Sanders"), and Christopher Moltisanti

Glad to see all the "Larry Sanders" love in this thread...I have been dubbing all the episodes on to dvd for my sister (she is sick) the last few weeks, and the show stands up so well. It is my all-time favorite comedy. What a great cast. You just forget how many great bit players there were... Arthur could give Al a run for his money in the cursing department....
