The Underrated of 2007

C.S. Lee
"Dexter," Showtime or "Chuck," NBC

You know him as: Recently relocated Buy More dictator Harry Tang or serial killer Dexter Morgan's degenerate crime lab colleague Vince Matsuka

Why we like him: On "Chuck," he was the officious store manager we loved to hate and on "Dexter" he's the sleazy co-worker we hate to love. As a rule, Hollywood isn't so good with finding non-stereotypical roles for Asian actors, so credit the South Korea-born Lee with being so hilariously repellent that his shows' writers couldn't help but want to give him more to do. With "Dexter" done with its second season and Lee's Tang shipped off to Hawaii, maybe it's time to give this guy his own show?

Where else you've seen him: Lee's done multiple episodes on "The Sopranos" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," plus a variety of one-off appearances on the "L&O" mothership.
