Breakout Stars of 2011

Mireille Enos, The Killing

Say what you will about how The Killing treated its audience with regards to solving Rosie Larsen's murder. For us, Enos was the reason to watch this show from the beginning. Sure, she is the rare female cop who leads with her brains instead of her sexuality. But Enos was at her best when conveying the inner turmoil AMC viewers have to come to expect (from the Don Drapers and Walter Whites) through the eyes of a conflicted single-mother. Even during all that rain!
