16. Jared Padalecki – Sam Winchester (Supernatural)

Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester in Supernatural has brought depth to the character of the quieter, more thoughtful brother who contrasts his sibling Dean. The struggles that Sam faces through fate, family, and personal demons have gained him a huge fan following during the show's 15 years. It was in his emotional journey, much like Padalecki's ability to carry the role with its emotional depth while pulsating it with action sequences that made the series a huge hit and left it an all-time legacy.
