The Sourcies Salute the Best Guest
FOX knows how to get the big guns on its shows -- but who has been the best guest? Your votes decide!
 24: Jon Voight as Jonas HodgesOscar winner JonVoight joined 24 as Jonas Hodges, the corrupt, unbalanced CEO and owner of the ficticious security firm Starkwood. Jonas was a traitor, a lunatic and a very bad man - he created a nasty biological weapon, then allied himself with an African warlord to test it on innocent civilians. He wanted to set it off on American soil so he could have an excuse to use his firm to take over the country. But all of these sins weren't what got him in the end. Instead, it was revenge for one single person that he'd killed to cover his tracks. Granted, that person was the President's son, and President Taylor's daughter/Chief of Staff, Olivia, didn't take kindly to the killing. So she hired an assassin to wreak her revenge, yet she didn't tell others in the White House about this. Jonas died in a fiery explosion at the end of the series - and while he was an evil guy, he was a fantastic character, and we were disappointed to see him go. |
Bones: Ryan O'Neal as Max KeenanRyan has been a regular guest on Bones, playing Brennan's loving father Max Keenan - who also happens to be an unrepentant killer. This year, we saw a different side of Max, as he appeared as a crime boss in the hallucinatory final episode of the season. Even in this new role, Max can't disguise his eternal charm. Everyone loves both Bones and O'Neal, making the pair an unbeatable combination. |
Dollhouse: Alan Tudyk as Alpha Alpha was a mysterious - and scary - presence throughout the season. We knew he had been an Active, and we knew something had gone terribly wrong, but that's it. So when we finally met him at the end of the season, it was a bit of a shock. First surprise: He carried the imprints of 48 people in his head, thought he was a god, and was comprised of pure insanity. Second surprise: He was played by Whedon regular Alan Tudyk - who we'd last seen as the loveable, charming, and utterly harmless Wash on Whedon's previous show, Firefly. What a change! |
Family Guy: Lauren Conrad as Lauren ConradEven if you don't watch The Hills, you know you've got an opinion on Lauren Conrad. Well, so did Brian - but he ended up in bed with her after a drunken escapade, where he spent time mourning the marriage of his one true love, the dim but delightful Jillian (voiced by Drew Barrymore!). But Brian - and the audience - was in for a surprise - this Lauren is brainy, cultured and utterly unlike what you'd expect from someone who is famous for being famous. We loved that Lauren played against type and had fun with her image - and made herself the love interest for a dog! |
Fringe: Leonard Nimoy as William BellLeonard Nimoy. Leonard. Freaking. Nimoy! We're talking Spock, here! So Fringe fans were all aflutter when we found out that Nimoy would be playing the mysterious William Bell, the man who may or may not have set The Pattern loose on an unsuspecting world. Because he's Nimoy, he doesn't have to say or do anything. He's just that cool. But is Bell using all of humanity as guinea pigs in his fiendish experiments, or have his ideas been corrupted? He's the lynchpin, the man in the shadows, the one who may be able to answer everything - and he's LEONARD. NIMOY! Eeeeeee! |
