Bobby Baccalieri on The Sopranos. When he showed up in his hunting gear at Uncle Junior's house, I thought I'd die laughing. What a great character, especially the scenes when his wife died and he was disconsolate; then he barely put up with Tony's sister trying to seduce him with food and housekeeping, all the while cherishing and protecting a frozen pasta casserole made by his late wife in the freezer.

The actor, Steve Schirripa, is now playing an investigator for the D.A.'s office on Blue Bloods, assisting Erin Reagan. Another great character.

Kimball Cho from The Mentalist, played by Tim Kang. What a great character! His interrogations of suspects, his stakeouts with partners, and his character in general—always totally, totally deadpan to the point of hilarity for the viewer. The first time I saw a photo of Tim Kang smiling at a Hollywood event, it blew me away—so different from his super-intense California Bureau of Investigation Agent Kimball Cho character. One of the most handsome men on tv, and I wish there were more Asian-American male characters just being Americans, like Kimball/Tim.

He was my favorite on the show! Do you know the backstory of that scene and what caused Tony’s hilarious reaction to Bobby’s hunting gear get-up?
