The leading man in a drama series has to take command of the action, drive the story forward and grab the viewers' attention. These performers did all that and more, which is why they're my picks for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series:
Matthew Fox, Lost (ABC)
James Gandolfini, The Sopranos (HBO)
Michael C. Hall, Dexter (SHO)
Hugh Laurie, House (FOX)
Denis Leary, Rescue Me (FX)
Possible Alternates: Eddie Izzard, The Riches (FX) and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, The Tudors (SHO)
Matthew Fox found new depths in his character and reminded viewers why they first went nuts over Lost. James Gandolfini stunned, horrified and amazed the audience with his portrayal of a made man coming undone. Michael C. Hall made a serial killer seem like not such a bad guy to have around. Hugh Laurie was outrageous, audacious and stupendous as the cantankerous physician who wished he could heal himself. Denis Leary's searing portrayal of a firefighter, professionally and personally, was burned into television history. Keep in mind the Brits. Eddie Izzard as a con man stole our hearts. Jonathan Rhys Meyers was the Tudor to die for. This may be the toughest category to predict this year.
