Did you ever wonder which TV shows your favorite on-screen celebrities have on their DVRs? Are you curious to find out which iconic TV characters today's television personalities wish they could have portrayed? Well, we did, too; so we asked them "If you could have played any character on any TV show in the history of television, who would you have chosen?" and "What TV shows are on your DVR?"
Over the past six months, we've asked TV stars these questions at various press junkets, in one-on-one interviews and at red-carpet events. What we uncovered may surprise you. To help you find your fave TV celeb, we've arranged the list alphabetically by the star's last name.
