The Underrated of 2006

Becki Newton
"Ugly Betty," ABC

You know her as: Amanda, Mode magazine's scheming receptionist

Why we like her: Newton gives her perfectly bitchy character surprising depth, making us believe that Amanda just might hide a vulnerable, somewhat nice and even smart side that Betty just has to free. Plus, she can binge like no other.

Where else you've seen her: She wrote and hosted the TBS celebrity interview show "Movie Junky." She's also appeared on "American Dreams," "Charmed," "Guiding Light" and in the sentimental "P.S." starring Laura Linney and Topher Grace.
