The best TV Shows are defined by their amazing characters. Audiences have fallen in love with some of TV's greatest heroes and villains, and become captivated by their stories. A good television personality would be nothing without an exceptional actor, who imbues heart and soul into the character.

Mirroring her on-screen Cinderella makeover, Julia Roberts went from little-known ingenue to queen of Hollywood. Plus, the film saved Gere's career and (along with 1989's "When Harry Met Sally") revived the romantic comedy genre in Hollywood.
