TV's Underrated stars of 2009: Zap2it's Year in Review

Ryan Hansen and Martin Starr, 'Party Down'

You know them as: Diametrically opposed cater-waiters Kyle Bradway and Roman DeBeers

Why we like them: As the eternally optimistic wannabe actor/musician/dude Kyle and the embittered, cynical Roman, Hansen (left) and Starr are funny on their own. Put them together, though, and it's almost guaranteed comic gold. Watching Roman do a not-very-slow burn at nearly each and every one of Kyle's antics is one of the many pleasures of this very funny Starz show.

Where else you've seen them: Hansen, "Veronica Mars" and "Friday the 13th"; Starr, "Freaks and Geeks," "Knocked Up" and "Adventureland"
