Best on-screen chemistry between actors who play your favourite couples

I thought this thread would be interesting. Some couples just have that red hot, jump off the screen chemistry between them, and that's due in large part to the actors who portray them. I thought we could all post our top five actor pairs and the roles they play in regards to this chemistry. I'll go first.

My list
Goran Visnjic & Maura Tierney (Luka Kovac & Abby Lockhart in ER)
Hugh Laurie & Lisa Edelstein (Gregory House and Lisa Cuddy in House M.D)
James Marsters and Sarah Michelle Gellar (Spike and Buffy Summers in BtVS)
Benjamin McKenzie & Mischa Barton (Ryan Atwood and Marissa Cooper in The O.C)
Daniel Radcliffe & Emma Watson (Harry Potter and Hermione Granger in the HP films)

See? Easy as pie. Your nominations can be from TV shows, soaps and movies. Go for it, tell us who sets fire to your TV screen!

Wayne Pygram/Raelee Hill(Scorpius/Sikozu from Farscape) Talk about sexual chemistry!


Hugh Laurie/Jennifer Morrison(House/Cameron from House)


Richard Shiff/Allison Janney(CJ/Toby from The West Wing) They are best friends in real life so that did help :-)


Eric Mccormack/Debra Messing(Will & Grace) I never shipped them because...you know...he's gay, but I LOVED the together as best friends. And Debra and Eric had amazing chemistry


Calista Flockhart/Robert Downey Jr(Ally/Larry from Ally Mcbeal)

Danny Masterson and Mila Kunis, Jackie and Hyde on That 70s Show. They brought something extra to their characterizations that made Jackie and Hyde a real couple. They were always holding hands, stealing kisses, she was always on his lap, he was always touching her. They defined chemistry. And boy could they kiss!!

Great thread I think a HUGE reason why I ship Sawyer and kate so much is because Evangeline Lilly and Josh Holloway have great chemistry together and it totally emanates onto the screen

Majandra Delfino and Brendan Fehr (Michael and Maria Roswell)
hands down the opening in "Heatwave" OMG.
They dated in real life, and you could always see how close they always were.
I love it on the DVD's how David Nutter I think, says whenever thoose two had
a makeput scene, he'd just forgot to yell cut, cause they were so into it.
and Jason Katims noticed the sparks in the first ep. where they actually had scenes togheter just the two of them. So they proceeded to start the relationship sooner.

great idea for a thread...

gotta go with Gerard Butler & Emmy Rossum [Erik & Christine from Phantom of the Opera], they have phenomenal chemisty on screen and off.

David Boreanaz & Charisma Carpenter (Angel): Opinions vary regarding their sexual chemistry, but few can deny that they played the best of friends flawlessly.

Kristin Bell & Jason Dohring (Veronica Mars): Speaks for itself

John Krasinski & Jenna Fischer (The Office): No pair, and I mean NO PAIR of actors plays the "best friends awkwardly moving towards something more...maybe" card better than these two. The whole 30 seconds of silence scene proves that.

More to come...if i remember

OMG, there are a lot of those, but IMHO, nothing beats the chemistry that David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson had. They're the reason the term shipping (meaning wishing for two characters to be in a romantic relationship) was invented in the first place.
