Definitely always will be Michael E. Knight (Tad Martin) of AMC in my opinion. He lights ups AMC every time he enters a scene, His character used to be an abused, abandoned boy, and if I'm not mistaken, he took over the role as a teenager when he became Tad the Cad and slept his way through most of the women in Pine Valley, including a mother and daughter.
Throughout the years, he has grown into the funniest, most loving, devoted friend, father and family man. He truly makes my day when he's on. He is so talented and oozes sexuality. He is also such a prankster and practical joker. I think his sense of humor adds so much to his sexiness. And he's a charmer and romantic too. I loved when Tad dressed in the chicken suit to woo Dixie years ago, and he recently popped out of Jesse's bachelor party cake and did a strip tease that was great!
Years ago,I had heard that the AMC cast gave their clothes to Goodwill near the AMC studios in NYC, and my brother thought I was nuts when I asked him to go pick up one of Tad's shirts for me during a vacation there! Needless to say, I didn't get the shirt, but I still think Michael E. Knight is the best!
