Female
1. Eliza Dushku
She wouldn't have sprung to mind last year at this time, but after getting acquainted through the wonderful world of Whedon she's now a guarantee for my interest. Her Echo of Dollhouse and Faith of the Buffyverse, including both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, are the main sources of interest.There's just too much about her to do guest appearances at shows like The Big Bang Theory, White Collar and The League.
2. Amber Tamblyn
Her past from Joan of Arcadia and The Unusuals make me a sure target audience for whatever she decides to try on the silver screen.
3. Adrianne Palicki
Tyra Collette at Friday Night Lights, Wonder Woman in a pilot that didn't get picked up and all around assurance of my interest.
4. Maria Bello
After being busy in the world of movies, Maria returned to TV for the US remake of Prime Suspect. No wonder it got cancelled, but seeing her in TV again was great. I still remember her days at Mr. & Mrs. Smith fondly.
5. Yvonne Strahovski
Chuck has closed down the spy-life, and her Sarah Walker sure spiked my interest. Anything rolling out the red carpet for her return to my screen is sure to capture my attention.
6. Sophia Myles
Her stints at Moonlight and Spooks are more than enough to assure my interest, even if no-one else have ever heard of her.
7. Traylor Howard
Monk has closed down set a couple of years ago, and it's about time she gets back on the horse. Also a familiar face from her youth on Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place along with superstars Nathan Fillion and Ryan Reynolds.
8. Stacey Farber
From youngster at Degrassi: The Next Generation, I followed her to ended 18 to Life, so I've pretty much proved I'll follow everywhere.
9. Shiri Appleby
From the time back at Roswell, I'm still looking to pick up more. That's probably why I'll tune in when Dating Rules from My future Self airs soon.
10. Jessy Schram
So she's never held a leading role, bur her performances in Veronica Mars, Life and feature film Unstoppable are more than enough for me to still hope she soon will.
Honorary. Amanda Bynes
If anybody lures her out of her early retirement to do comedy or at least something with a lot of wit, I'd love it. She would easily top my list if she didn't retire.
The in-ones:
A lot of the talent out there is obviously occupied with shows, and here are a few of the many actresses I'd follow if they jumped ship; Anna Torv (Fringe), Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory), Bethany Joy Galeotti (One Tree Hill), Poppy Montgomery (Unforgettable...a possible upcoming cancel), A.J. Cock (Criminal Minds), Amy Jo Johnson (Flashpoint), Emily VanCamp (Revenge), Emily Rose (Haven)
Male
1. Bradley Whitford
The Good Guys wasn't anything special, but Bradley had no problems making me get through all aired episodes. Looking back at his days on The West Wing and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip assures my interest in anything new with him in a leading role.
2. Kyle Chandler
Looking back at his amazingly consistent performances at Friday Night Lights, there's hopefully more TV to come than just movie roles like Super 8 from this guy.
3. James Marsters
After doing Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I'm all for giving him a leading role carrying a show.
4. Adam Baldwin
After his stints on Firefly and Chuck, I'll follow him blindly into his next project.
5. Taylor Kitsch
The guy might be busy getting his movie career off ground, but his Friday Night Lights role as Tim Riggins is still too fresh to not hope for reappearance on the silver screen.
6. Jeremy Piven
He might have caught everybody with his Ari Gold on Entourage, but I was already captured way back when he did Cupid and had such chemistry with Paula Marshall.
7. Fran Kranz
Upon his great performance as Topher Brink at Dollhouse, I hope to see more from him on TV as he's now done with his Whedon reunion in feature film Cabin in the Woods.
8. Brett Butt
Excellent in Corner Gas. Hiccups was a big letdown, but it's cancelled and he's free to take on something new.
9. Stephen Root
While it's great to have him stop by every now and again on Justified, I'd rather have him back full time like he did back in the days as Jimmy James on NewsRadio.
10. Timothy Busfield
So. Maybe Aaron Sorkin and his guys are the only ones to see his talent, but I'd give his show a chance any day.
The in-ones
A lot of the talent out there is obviously occupied with shows, and here are a few of the many actors I'd follow if they jumped ship; Nathan Fillion (Castle), Joshua Jackson & John Noble (Fringe), Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), Michael Weatherly (NCIS), Enrico Colantoni (Flashpoint)
There's enough examples of following actors and actresses that give me nightmares. Lets just hope none of the above listed ever turn into a show like...
House of Lies
I've followed Kristen Bell into many rabbit holes since her days as Veronica Mars. This is the last one out, and so far by far the worst of those.
I didn't spend too much time researching this, so there's obviously gonna be some who didn't spring to mind. TV-land is hugely populated, and there's just not enough megabytes in my brain to keep cued in on everything. So don't shoot me just because I forgot some actor or actress who feels obvious to you... Rather just shoot me a comment about them.
