Prison Break: Ranking The Fox River 8

Michael Scofield is not only the mastermind behind the entire prison break, but he is the driving force behind the entire show.

He proves that he not only has the mind to achieve some of the most outlandish feats, but also nerves of steel and truly incredible strength of character.

Michael risks his life to save his brother's, which is pretty endearing on its own, but he spends the entirety of the show helping others in whatever way he can and doing his best to keep his friends and family safe.

Also, he has some pretty incredible tattoos, and, as we all know, that is the mark of coolness. Not to mention his sweet gravelly voice and perpetual cool-guy squint.

Michael's great, but he just misses out on that number 1 spot.
