While we are on Carrigan, toss in his Zsasz in Gotham. Snazziest assassin ever.

Lol gald to see this at the top, this was my answer as well. Just absolutely f****** owns every frame he is on screen, some of the hardest I've ever laughed while also being a reasonably compelling villain.

I'll double down on Michael Williams and say [Chalky White](https://youtu.be/wCX1C5iaD0U?si=aRtLBP_Rqhv3zAg1) in Board Walk Empire. Anytime he showed up on screen I was memorized, despite him sharing screen time with some heavy hitters.

Great pick. Every time he showed up, the tension shifted instantly. Hard to look at anyone else in those scenes.

Do you mean Zathras or Zathras?

VoraciousChallenge Apr 8, 2026 +1
Zathras is used to being beast of burden to other people's needs. Very sad life. Probably have very sad death. But, at least there is symmetry.

Richard Schiff as Toby Ziegler in The West Wing steals every single scene he's in. Which is impressive considering how many of those scenes have him acting opposite Martin Sheen.

Sandra in Superstore steals every scene she’s in and is a rare character who stayed funny even after they gave her a more prominent role IMO. I love that woman lol

So true. She's good in St Dennis but im always wishing she was just Sandra again cause she was just so fantastically sad.

Not 'best' but 'biggest': Any character played by Nicole Kidman since the amount of surgery she's had done is super distracting because she can't properly operate her mouth and looks like Jack Nicholson's Joker. Same with Liz from Shrinking.

Moira Rose. Every scene she was in became about her, either directly or her reactions to the main story were the highlight.

Niles Crane, especially in any scene Daphne is in. (Before he married her, of course.) David Addison in Moonlighting and Marianne in Cybill. Poor Cybill.
