Cheers to Wade Williams for playing both sides of the law on Burn Notice. Want more Cheers & Jeers? Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine. Few actors are as well qualified to guest star as Carter, the alleged muscle for a Miami Beach loan shark (a slightly miscast Michael O'Keefe). As it turned out, Carter was inadvertently exposed as an undercover FBI agent by Michael (Jeffrey Donovan). Of course, Williams did time as corrupt corrections officer-turned-inmate Brad Bellick on Prison Break, so he knows a thing or two about crossing over the thin blue line...

Cheers to Khandi Alexander for her tour de hurricane force on Treme. Want more Cheers & Jeers? Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine. As her character, bar owner LaDonna Batiste Williams, raged at the rapist who attacked her — and the legal system that temporarily freed him due to a clerical error — Alexander powerfully embodied the citywide anger at the lawlessness in post-Katrina New Orleans. The actress, who was unjustly denied an Emmy nomination for her fiercely nuanced turn as a recovering drug-addict mother in Treme creator David Simon's 2000 miniseries, The Corner, deserves long-overdue recognition for this role.
