Underrated TV stars of 2011: Zap2it's Year in Review

Damon Wayans Jr., 'Happy Endings'

You know him as: Married guy, improv class-taker and lover of twirling Brad

Why we like him: "Happy Endings" took a while to grow on us, but one of the reasons it was worth sticking with at all was Wayans, who plays straight man and goofball with equal facility and is pretty darn good at physical comedy too.

Where else you've seen him: His dad's shows "My Wife and Kids" and "The Underground," "The Other Guys" and the pilot for "New Girl"
