Hank Moody is my Hero

Source

After giving a lot of thought to my favorite character, I finally decided my favorite is Hank Moody from Showtime's Californication, who is played by David Duchovny. Hank Moody is an extremely complex yet simple man. He is a writer living in Los Angeles who is constantly trying to hold his life and family together while always falling "victim" to his vices. He is a blatant and honest charmer who is irresistible to women and magically falls into scenarios the average man would love to be "subjected" to.

His role is that of the hero, but there is no actual clear villain from my perspective. Hank Moody is his own worst enemy. He is antagonized by his own alpha male disposition and the temptations associated with it. He gets caught up by his vices and suffers the consequences, but he does take responsibility for his actions. He is the lead character and the show revolves around his daily encounters and missteps. No matter how much shit hits the fan, Hank always has a comical remark to help lighten the mood.

So far, the greatest black mark on his record is the unaware statutory rape of a 16 year old girl, who initiated the encounter, and actually turned out to be the daughter of his ex's fiance. Hank has a inclination of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but he has such a charismatic and comical personality that makes it hard for anyone to stay mad at him, especially those with two X chromosomes.
