I would nominate for consideration Lizzy Caplan, who just killed it in *Masters of Sex* (aside from being hilariously funny, and generous with her nakedness, I had no idea she is such a heart-breakingly great actress; all of that and she retains her sky-high like-ability) and Demián Bichir who dominated *The Bridge*. It would be hard not to recognize Vince Gilligan as the man who owned TV in 2013, but he was well on his way to doing that in 2012 as well, so he may not have as many net 2013 points. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
