salemslot picked Gauis Baltar (Battlestar Galactica):
An anti-hero is a character that has the below characteristics:
1) imperfections that separate them from typically "heroic" characters (selfishness, ignorance, bigotry, etc.)

2) lack of positive qualities such as "courage, physical prowess and generally feel helpless in a world over which they have no control".

3)qualities normally belonging to villains (amorality, greed, violent tendencies, etc.) that may be tempered with more human, identifiable traits (confusion, self-hatred, etc.)

4)noble motives pursued by bending or breaking the law in the belief that "the ends justify the means."

Dexter and House ... it's tie ;p then Sawyer and T-Bag.

Ben on the other hand is character I love to hate. I wanted him to die soooooo many times! But at the same time I know that show wouldn't be so intresting without him ;p

SG1-090 picked Dexter Morgan (DEXTER):
WAIT WAIT WIAT T-BAG!!!!!!????? No freaking way is he an anti-hero or any other type of "anything" hero he's a straight up evil twisted villain!!!

I've gotta say for sure Dex! Totally an anti-hero - he rocks! House next but as to who fits it more, yeh I think it's Dex.

Saywer I think is just more of a rough around the edges hero :)

Ben URGH nope i've gotta just go with selfish villain who thinks he's a hero.

Balter!? lol I dunno he's not an anti-hero is he? Maybe there's a case for that in like the last ep but still I dunno mmmm...

oldmovie picked Dexter Morgan (DEXTER):
House is a great anti-hero, but honestly, even if you've only heard what Dexter's about, how could you not choose him for this?

He's a serial killer for God's sake! HE KILLS PEOPLE AND WE STILL ROOT FOR HIM, freaking deranged that we do but whatever....

OceanCoast picked Gauis Baltar (Battlestar Galactica):
OMG someone finally gave Baltar some love!
He's amazing and a total scene stealer regardless of what paranoid/crazy/brilliantly poignant situation he's gotten himself into. I also love how it was he who ended up finally growing a backbone and saved the day in the finale.

While all the others are amazing, I don't think there's anyone else who captures every single spectrum of the 'morally gray' criteria as he does. He's incredible.

FlightofFantasy picked Dexter Morgan (DEXTER):
I'm with oldmovie, how could you pick anyone other than Dexter? He does villainous, evil things such as brutally murder people, and yet...he's a hero. Although I also agree with OceanCoast, Baltar is a close second.
