Finalists: Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Good Wife) sauntered onto the scene with a devilish smile and unmatched commitment to his job that managed to completely captivate his series’ lead for the entirety of the final season. Christian Slater (Mr. Robot) was mysterious, maniacal, and mischievous as an orchestrator of corporate downfall. Matt Servitto (Banshee) came into his own as his show’s standout player after being hardened by his brutal town and determined not to let it stand anymore. Jon Bernthal (Daredevil) offered a complex and unexpectedly endearing portrait of a killer motivated by rage and revenge with so much more than that underneath. Jonathan Banks (Better Call Saul) continued to be a background player but took steps towards making big change and ensuring that those around him knew enough to fear him.
The nominees:
Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones) went from being a dependable member of his ensemble to its most crucial character, even choosing moments to let his voice be heard after staying silent and subservient for so long, rising to the ranks of the show’s most consistently fantastic player, Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones). Rufus Sewell (The Man in the High Castle) was calculating, vicious, and unforgiving, but also offered a layered take on a Nazi commander in New York. Michael McKean (Better Call Saul) took his shut-in status to a whole new level as his determination to achieve excellence threatened to truly affect his health.
The winner:
David Tennant (Jessica Jones) chillingly and masterfully played a villain who could get anyone to do what he wanted just by telling them to do it, so absorbed by his own power that he was truly evil and beyond salvation.
