11. Taraji P. Henson
It’s not too often that an actress who’s used to playing in guest roles is catapulted to one of the lead roles on a primetime show. It took decades for Taraji P. Henson to receive critical acclaim before she was booked for the role of Cookie in the FOX series Empire. Henson continues to amaze us by being able to straddle the fence between being the tough-loving mother and the no holds barred businesswoman. The entertainment industry is finally taking notice of her versatile range, too. In 2015, she was announced as the winner of the Critics Choice Television Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series.
