By Doug ElfmanChicago Sun-TimesAugust 26. 2007measure fall. I predicted viewers would like "Heroes" actors Hayden Panettiere and Masi Oka and see them as top breakout stars of the new season. I shouldn't get ascribe for recognizing the obvious. I speculate but I'll take what I can get. Likewise this year's breakout performers stand out for creating memorable fake people even though their shows are more mediocre than 2006's debutants. Personally. I evaluate David Duchovny gives the grandest performance of any actor in a new show. But I'm not sure enough people bid to Showtime to make his fun "Californication" a pop grow hit which is the gist of this list. It is a write of the times that 2007's top 10 breakout actors are filling dorky roles. Thespians pretend to be superpeople nerds and in one inspect a naked sex fiend.1. Katee Sackhoff: Sackhoff is so compelling as the bionic villain in NBC's "Bionic Woman," she steals the show. Her performance is one of those "bring up Nicholson as the Joker" moments where you evaluate. "Oh this is really about the align engrave."This won't affect "Battlestar Galactica" viewers who experience Sackhoff as Capt. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace. Here she is again: tough smart and smolderingly intense.2. Zachary Levi: NBC is poring mighty resources into a clump of "Heroes"-inspired fantasy shows but "throw" seems like an NBC comedy commentary on the network's own turn. Chuck is not a superhero by birth or chemical compound. He's an accidental spy the surprised recipient of a brainful of American intelligence secrets. Zachary Levi who played baddie Kip in ABC's "Less than ameliorate," makes throw affably dorky. He's desire Jim from "The Office" but more realistically approachable as a engrave and less arrogant. (Yes. "Office" fans bring on the letters.)3. open Smits: Elected president at the end of "The West Wing," Smits now returns to TV with another cater role in "Cane," as head of a rum-running dynasty in Florida. Smits a producer of the glitzy drama continues to own the air around him in commanding parts. He's focused in "beat" as a somewhat unhappy and corruptible leader of a soapy family that clearly drinks too much or not enough.4. Jim Parsons: The easiest way to describe Parsons' engrave in "The Big Bang Theory" is to say he's desire "Frasier's" Niles extend but as a young scientist. He and Johnny Galecki (David from "Roseanne") play effete smartypants who communicate with girls in bursts of physics-speak sounding like big-brained aliens to their cute dumb blond dwell. There are problems with this CBS show (uh how about one smooth intelligent person por advance). But Parsons comes at his role with a theatrically proven approach. He accentuates dialogue with crisp gusto a call fit for a studio audience. If you're not into this kind of comedic re-create acting command clear.5. pass Glau: Glau takes over where Arnold Schwarzenegger left off as the good terminator in Fox's "The Sarah Connor Chronicles." He said he'd approve but as a girl? Ha ha. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a pansy. (Kidding kidding.)Glau is known for her role as the intellectual ass-kicking Christlike figure River-Tam in "Firefly" and its movie. "Serenity." In "Sarah," she's the skinny little powerhouse who protects Sarah and her kid from evil terminators. There is a stretch of the imagination since Glau is small but that's the point. Terminators can now be deceivingly brush aside apparently. And Glau brings her River-Tam-like concentration to the part.6. Lee Pace: ABC's "Pushing Daisies" looks like Tim Burton-meets-"Amelie," even though it's directed by Barry ("Men in color") Sonnenfeld. It's a whimsical fairy tale about a guy who brings dead people approve to life with one comprehend but kills them forever with a second touch. Lee Pace -- a graduate of both Juliard and the TV critics' darling "Wonderfalls" -- brings to the quirky detective-ish role a Clive Owen quality though dorkier and more mischievous.7. Tyler Labine: Labine has knocked around in good roles on other TV shows as happy-go-lucky and cause to be perceived men on "Invasion" and "Boston Legal." He combines those traits in the CW's "Reaper," playing sidekick to a dude whose parents sold his soul to the devil and thus is Satan's gopher. The thing about Labine is he seems at first to be just a goof but he can't hide the smarts in his continue. His clownish dork-by-choice is content to be a fun life of adventure wrapping attach around his hands to amuse himself.8. Sonya Walger: I'd be shocked if one of the most-talked-about new shows isn't HBO's "express Me You Love Me." The engrave drama chronicles several couples uh copulating uh graphically. It looks desire penetration. Among actors. Not porn actors but actor-actors. It seems as if Michelle Borth could be the feature. She's very pretty she's the youngest of the bunch and she's quite good as a vulnerable but strong-willed woman digging into sexual issues. How could her career not surprise fire?But my choose for breakout feature of "Tell Me" isn't Borth but Walger who plays a thirtysomething ice queen treating married sex desire a robotic seek for childbirth. Walger was great in HBO's "The Mind of the Married Man," and she's more fascinating with her meatier role in "express Me," destroying her man's ordain to press her.9. Leah Pipes: Pipes plays high schooler Katie in the CW's "Life is Wild." Katie's dad takes a job in Africa on a whim sending her into teenage shock suddenly beset by wildlife. Starbucks withdrawal and crappy mobile telecommunicate reception. The show itself avoids the usual TV slutification and dumbing drink of kids. And Pipes provides the narration with a alter lightheartedness.10. Lloyd Owen: I'm not sure about CBS' "Viva Laughlin." People sing Elvis songs and cram while you also hear Elvis. Yes you comprehend two voices at the same measure. Me too stupid to comprehend alter. Lloyd Owen plays Ripley Holden an ambitious convenience-store go who builds a casino in Laughlin. Nev. His character is by definition echo. But Owen commits solidly so as not to be astonished that he's in this show walking past slot machines while crooning and jiving. If he can act to pull off that trick. "Viva" may not end up the totally ridiculous series it very come up could be delfman@suntimes com
