Greetings TV Fans! As the New Year quickly approaches, it really got me thinking about some of my absolute favorite male performances on television this past year. Whether it was a moment of heroism, a sacrifice, or even a breaking point, these male actors went above and beyond to fully embrace their characters. I laughed, I cried, and I cheered them on, as they continued to surprise us throughout the year. It was difficult for me to narrow down my favorite male performances for 2018 because there were honestly so many and I didn’t think it was possible for me to choose my absolute favorite one, which is where you came in!
I ran a three round poll (randomized tournament style) on Twitter and asked for fans to cast their votes so that we can all decide who our favorite male performances are for the year. Thank you so much for your participation and support, as the tournament was so much fun and actually really competitive!
Round One featured the following Male Performances on TV from 2018:
- Joshua Jackson as Cole Lockhart from The Affair
- Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams from Ash vs Evil Dead
- Cody Fern as Michael Langdon from American Horror Story: Apocalypse
- Mark Pellegrino as Lucifer from Supernatural
- Cole Sprouse as Jughead Jones from Riverdale
- Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead
- Jeremy Allen White as Lip Gallagher from Shameless
- Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester from Supernatural
- Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester from Supernatural
- Richard Harmon as John Murphy from The 100

After your votes, the following male actors moved on to Round Two:
- Cole Sprouse
- Cody Fern
- Bruce Campbell
- Jared Padalecki

Please note: Jared Padalecki & Andrew Lincoln tied in round one so they both got to move on to round two!
After your votes in Round Two, the following male actors moved on to the FINALS:

Honorable Mention: I am actually really surprised that Andrew Lincoln did not make it into the finals, but I would like to give him a special shout out because his performance was amazing this past year on The Walking Dead.
After your votes in Round Three, the FINAL results are:
3rd place: Richard Harmon as John Murphy from The 100
2nd place: Cody Fern as Michael Langdon from American Horror Story: Apocalypse
Drum roll please…
1st place: Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester from Supernatural
Jared Padalecki WINS as your favorite male performance on TV for 2018! Congratulations! I am personally looking forward to more amazing moments from Sam Winchester in 2019 and I can’t wait to see what he does next.

When Kallie Bennett, a jaded teenage girl plagued by her alcoholic mother and her peers molded out of sheer bubble gum perfection, chases after Alice in Wonderland herself, she ends up lost in her own version of Wonderland, which forces her to face her utmost fears and introduces her to familiar characters with a dark twist. Among these characters is Ches, a gorgeous vampire with a conflicted conscience, who becomes Kallie’s guide and blossoming love interest. She also crosses paths with Queen Hartley, a manipulative witch who has the power to strip away one’s memories and imagination, which brings a bone chilling new meaning to “off with their heads.” In The Search for Alice, Kallie starts to realize that her Wonderland is just as frightening as her own reality and that she cannot always run away from her problems. She must figure out a way to defeat Queen Hartley and return home before it is too late, but she soon learns that escaping Wonderland means leaving Ches behind forever.
