Fall TV's Breakout Stars of 2011

Every year there are a handful of shows that debut on television in the fall, and with these shows come breakout stars worth talking about. Below is my list of five actors and actresses that I believe were this year's breakout television stars of the season.



1. Wilson Bethel, Hart of Dixie
Bluebell, Alabama's hunky Southern bad boy Wade Kinsella proved to fans that he is a worthy suitor for Rachel Bilson's Dr. Zoe Hart in The CW's heartfelt new drama Hart of Dixie, and Wilson Bethel proved that he is not only easy on the eyes but also extremely talented as an actor.




2. Zooey Deschanel, New Girl
You may have found her extremely annoying in 500 Days of Summer, but the She & Him singer proves that she can be both funny and adorable in FOX's comedy New Girl.




3. Stephen Amell, Hung
After guest appearances on Vampire Diaries and CSI, Stephen Amell joined the cast of HBO's Hung and breathed new life in a series that was growing rather stale. Not only was he funny, but he also showed the potential to take on leading man roles in the near future.




4. Evan Peters, American Horror Story
As one of Dr. Pete Harmon's patients on FX's horror-hit American Horror Story, Evan Peters brought a whole new level of creepy to the series in his breakout role as Tate.




5. Emily VanCamp, Revenge
You loved her on Everwood and now you've fallen in love with her all over again in her deliciously vindictive lead role in ABC's soapy hit Revenge.
