Greetings TV Fans! As we wrap up 2019 and move on to 2020, let’s take a look at some of our favorite male performances on television from 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.
It was difficult for me to narrow down my favorite male performances for 2019 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 2019:
- Misha Collins as Castiel from Supernatural
- Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan from The Walking Dead
- Kit Harington as Jon Snow from Game of Thrones
- Zachary Quinto as Charlie Manx from NOS4A2
- Cole Sprouse as Jughead Jones from Riverdale
- Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher
- Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg from You
- Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester from Supernatural
- Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester from Supernatural
- Richard Harmon as John Murphy from The 100
- Lennie James as Morgan Jones from Fear the Walking Dead
- Henry Ian Cusick as Dr. Jonas Lear from The Passage
After your votes, the following male actors moved on to Round Two:
- Cole Sprouse
- Penn Badgley
- Jeffrey Dean Morgan
- Jared Padalecki
- Henry Cavill
- Kit Harington
After your votes in Round Two, the following male actors moved on to the FINALS:
- Jeffrey Dean Morgan
- Jared Padalecki
- Kit Harington
Honorable Mention: Let’s not forget the captivating and ever so handsome, Henry Cavill, who just came up short of the final round. Even in Henry Cavill’s monotone Geralt of Rivia voice, he still manages to capture our full attention while fighting off magical beasts with charisma.
After your votes in Round Three, the FINAL results are:
3rd place: Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan from The Walking Dead
We’re all in too, Negan! Whether he’s making a sarcastic remark, being a complete bad-ass, or manipulating with the best of them, Negan is a scene stealer. I can’t wait to see what he does next!
2nd place: Kit Harington as Jon Snow from Game of Thrones
Jon Snow will always be one of my favorite characters on a television series. What’s beyond the wall for Jon? Endless possibilities, but at least he will have Ghost by his side!
Drum roll please…
1st place: Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester from Supernatural
Jared Padalecki WINS as your favorite male performance on TV for 2019! Congratulations on your win for two years in a row! I am looking forward to more courageous and heartbreaking moments from Sam Winchester in 2020 and I can’t wait to see how Supernatural ends!
Thanks to all the fans who voted! I wish you all the best for 2020!
I hope you enjoyed the list and please feel free to post your thoughts and comments below on some of your favorite male performances on TV from 2019. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!
