As much as I love many of Ds9's other actors, I think Andrew Robinson as Garak takes the cake for me. Others inhabited their roles as well as him, but Garak is compelling basically every time he's on screen.
Charles Dance (I think?) as Tywin Lannister also comes to mind as being arguably the most compelling character in a big cast of great characters.
+1 Hugh Laurie. He and his character carried a show through a lot of otherwise formulaic writing and silly plots. And finding out he's British was a trip after watching him do a perfect American accent for multiple seasons and never suspecting a thing.
Robert Picardo as the Doctor (AKA competent Tobias Funke) is also a good one for injecting a lot of much-needed character into Voyager. But mostly I just wanted to make the Tobias comparison.
