The Best Actors on TV (Vote)

Some series are shining brighter than their counterparts on the big screen in the era of prestige TV, and a lot of that has to do with the caliber of the performances. While many TV actors go unnoticed, a select few deliver performances that make it impossible to ignore them.

Some TV actors have made a name for themselves in the annals of history, whether they were beloved comedy talents like Robin Williams or tragic juggernauts like James Gandolfini. Although there are many excellent TV actors, members of Ranker used the site to vote for their favorite actors from the small screen. Voting for the greatest TV actor ever is your chance to choose the best actor on television once more.
