Runners Up - Aaron Paul "Breaking Bad", John Spencer "The West Wing", Richard Schiff "The West Wing", Bradley Whitford "The West Wing", Timothy Busfield "thirtysomething"
Commentary - In his almost 30-year television career, Jimmy Smits has played some of the most endearing, tough, and important television characters of all time, on some of the greatest shows of all time including NYPD Blue, and my favorite character of his, Matthew Santos on The West Wing. But his first big break came in 1986 with the popular and well-rewarded L.A. Law as Victor Sifuentes. Jimmy Smits has always had this impeccable combination of ferocity and humanity, and Victor was the first time, but definitely not the last, that we were able to truly see his talent on screen. It is hard to believe that after twelve Emmy nominations, he has only won one. But I think it is important that we continue to make that one last, as he continues to light up the television screen.
