In the Zodiacs, Leos stand out because they're always running into danger and they always want to be the center of attention. They can arrogant and stubborn, but they're natural charisma and charm are enough to get a loyal following and intrigue viewers.
In TV shows, Leo protagonists are the reckless leaders who run into danger without thinking of the consequences and they're never satisfied, always looking for their next adventure. Here are our favorite TV Leo protagonists.
Serena Van Der Woodsen - Gossip Girl (2007-2012)
When Serena came back to New York after spending time in a boarding school, all she wanted to do was live a life away from the spotlight. Unfortunately, she was born for the spotlight and she was born to be the center of attention.
Even when she doesn't try, her endless charisma, her golden locks, and her confidence make everyone want to stop what they're doing and look at her. She's got a good heart and rarely uses her powers for bad things but don't mess with her because she will make your life a living hell.
Robin - How I Met Your Mother (2005-2014)
Robin has always been in the spotlight, from her child acting days in Canada to her news anchor job in New York, she has plenty of experience being in front of millions of viewers. She's the only one of her friends that's really sure of herself and confident in her career and her life outside of work.
As the newest member of the group, she quickly became a favorite, as Ted's love interest, the only other woman Lily can talk to, and proving she can be an excellent wing(w0)man for Barney. If it wasn't for Ted, it could be argued they show should revolve around Robin.
Steve Urkel - Family Matters (1989-1998)
Yes...Steve Urkel is a Leo. Although his nerdy persona and lack of confidence may say different, Urkel loves any attention he can get and always strives to be the best at everything he does.
His inventions, his unending love for Laura, his commitment to the Winslows even though they don't always appreciate him being around, and his bursts of bravery when he stands up for Laura and saves Carl on several occasions. Although we see his Leo persona more in his alter ego, Stefan, Urkel is still one of our favorite Leos.
Jake Peralta - Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013-)
Jake defines the more chaotic version of a Leo, being cocky and always diving in headfirst to any case he works to prove he's a great cop rather than thinking about the consequences. His goofy and immaturity sometimes overlook his great detective skills and his natural ability to solve a crime, but he is nonetheless a great cop.
He's also a good friend and loving husband for Amy, and when he has been put in charge, he always figures out a way to get the job done.
Fez - That 70s Show (1998-2006)
Fez is eccentric and he loves being the center of attention. He loves dressing for attention and his style often goes against the norm to purposely stand out. When he first came unto the scene, he only wanted to fit in with his friends but as his confidence grew, he wanted to be his own person and accomplish his own goals.
His confidence is enough to land Jackie and even gain the respect of his friends who all used to make fun of him.
Fry - Futurama (1998-2013)
Another character that may seem like a head-scratcher. Fry is the opposite of an able leader, his confidence is shotty, and he doesn't really like being in the spotlight at all. What he does have and what makes him a Leo is his bravery and loyalty to his friends.
He may not be brightest of the crew, but he does have the charm to tag along, and his character development from his first to his last shows that he is still coming into his Leo persona.
Howard Holowitz - Big Bang Theory (2007-2018)
Howard may be the only one of his friends who's not a doctor, but he has something none of his other friends have and that's confidence. Howard is a ladies man through and through, jumping from girl to girl despite his awkward and nerdy appearance.
He grows out his desperate attempts to wow women with his confidence when he meets the love of his life and he goes on to live happily ever after.
Jeff Winger - Community (2009-2015)
Jeff unknowingly started the study group after trying to wow Britta and little did he know his life would change forever. As a Leo, Jeff is overly confident but in his wits and intellect and his looks, often being subjected to jokes.
Jeff is the unquestioned leader of the study group, often making the decisions and plans for the group and rarely getting any objections. He's like by all, the group, the school, and even the dean. He radiates the Leo energy and makes one of the best in TV show history.
Lois Lane - Smallville (2001-2011)
Last we have a woman as famous as her super boyfriend, the fearless Lois Lane. Making her into Smallville in the fourth season of the show, we saw an army brat with an overconfident demeanor and inability to shut up.
the show showed us a much younger version of Lois before her time at the Daily Planet so we saw her attempting to befriend a young Clark and have her own adventures. But Lois is a total Leo, with her confidence and all.
