Damon Salvatore

Played by: Ian Somerhalder, "The Vampire Diaries"

Anti-hero status: Our favorite alcoholic vampire keeps a fridge full of O-negative in his basement, but occasionally he can't help but get his fix straight from the source. We also haven't forgiven him for snapping the neck of an innocent kid because he had a bad day. Still, in his case, bad intentions are the road to heroism.
