12. Will McAvoy, The Newsroom

This tense newsroom drama began on a grand if not controversial note when McAvoy (played by Jeff Daniels) declared that America is not as great as it seems. But his disgruntled start eases into balance as he turns into the moral center of his journalistic team and refuses to give weightage to stories without facts and figures. His passionate speeches and revolt against higher-ups' interference are praiseworthy.
