1. Jim Moriarty - Sherlock
You would think that with any top ten list that the writer would have a difficult time picking what number one would be on his list. This wasn't a problem here because without any question, without any doubt Jim Moriarty belongs at the top of this list. When they cast Andrew Scott as Moriarty in the series Sherlock I was kind of concerned, just from the look of him. He turned out to be the best portrayer of Moriarty to date and I'm still freaking out about him to this day. He's a genius criminal consultant that is superior to Sherlock in every way. I know he's supposed to match Sherlock's wit but with Andrew Scott's performance he definitely surpassed his intelligence. In the end you think Sherlock wins but you're not reading enough into the big picture. Moriarty still got what he wanted! There are only six episodes in this series right now and Andrew Scott is only in four of them but he took those episodes and ran with them. With those four episodes I can quote his clever performance for an entire lifetime.
