History HotBlooded / LiveActionTV

* ''TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'': Galadriel displays impatience and persistence in getting her way, usually forgoing restraint and diplomacy for a direct approach. Feanor would be proud of her.

* David Starsky from ''Series/StarskyAndHutch'': impulsive and outspoken, affectionate and protective, passionate about every whimsical interest and exciting idea and opportunity that comes his way, inclined to make colorful, intimidating threats, and in possession of a notoriously ferocious temper and a tendency to back it up with a swift left hook to the jaw of whoever pissed him off. On occasion, he intentionally pushes this UpToEleven to manipulate a perp in a GoodCopBadCop routine. However, it's actually when he [[TranquilFury calms down]] that things really start to get dangerous.

** ''Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger'' takes this UpToEleven as well... The name is translated as "Explosive Dinosaur Squadron Rampage Ranger"!

** ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'' is described as such is so Hot blooded it almost bleeds into Large Ham territory. Fans Theorize that the reason he tends to shed ManlyTears every now and then is because he is young and cannot properly control those emotions. Given the head writer previously worked on ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', this is absolutely no suprise.

* Virtually every Red Ranger in ''Franchise/SuperSentai.'' (''Dekaranger's'' Ban takes it up to eleven, to the point that you wonder how - or ''if'' - he even sleeps.) Reds are ''powered'' by screaming, and going in without a plan because "justice is on our side!" is sometimes a ''deeply-held philosophy,'' with the point of an episode or two being Red proving to a more serious character that you don't need to waste time thinking, you just charge in. When the [[ScreamingWarrior screaming]] begins, you know the FoeTossingCharge is coming! (''Franchise/PowerRangers'' is different, preferring the OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent.)

* Junior from Series/{{Pizza}} sure has a lot of energy for a apprentice chef.
** Speaking of Andrew Ausage, his character Sole Umuga has this amount of energy with a HairTriggerTemper.
** And yes, Junior from Series/{{Housos}}.
** Paul Fenech's characters (Pauly Falzoni, Mario Fenech and Franky Falzoni) sure is hot blooded.

** He also, ''[[TooSoon within two days]] of Heath Ledger's death'' was referring to him in public as 'Leather Hedger', although what he [[DudeNotFunny meant by that]] is, as always, anybody's guess.

* ''Franchise/KamenRider'' was actually a pioneer of this in Japanese popular media.

* Not much in ''Franchise/KamenRider'', but some of them are veritably HotBlooded. Especially [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga Kuuga]] and [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Momotaros/Den-O Sword Form]].
** ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'' is described as such is so Hot blooded it almost bleeds into Large Ham territory.

* ''Series/TwentyFour'''s Jack Bauer would like to remind you that he's A FEDERAL AGENT!
** And that he wants everything done... '''NOW'''!
** ...because he is RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!!
** '''DAMMIT!!!'''
* ''Series/ThePractice'' ran on this trope. Bobby Donnell and Eugene Young were the front-runners, but most of the others did not run far behind. It was a rare courtroom scene that didn't contain one of them screaming at a witness... or the prosecutor... or the judge.
* The Tenth Doctor, from ''Series/DoctorWho''.
** Six as well.
** John Simm's Master. ("Never! Never! ''Never dying! NEVER DYING!'' '''''NEVER DYING!'''''")
** Back in the Creator/TomBaker era, Leela embodied this trope. And was awesome for it.
* ''Series/{{Friends}}'': The Geller siblings. Ross turns into "Red Ross". His hot bloodedness becomes more apparent when Rachel challenges him to poker.
* ''Series/{{Heroes}}'': [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Peter Petrelli pulls out his powers when he's pissed off.]]

* In the HBO TV series ''Series/{{Rome}}'', Mark Antony.
* In ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', there is nothing Kira Nerys does that she does not do with every ounce of energy she possesses. On the ''very'' rare occasions we see her go into TranquilFury mode, things break. Like people. And buildings. And occasionally fleets of enemy ships.
** General Martok, as a Klingon, is kind of expected to do this, but really, his every word sounds like a triumphant speech. Actor J.G. Hertzler invoked this trope during his audition, throwing a chair against the wall and losing a fingernail in the process. He impressed the ''Deep Space Nine'' higher-ups so much that they brought Martok back as a recurring character.
* Ken Kurenai from ''Series/SuperRobotRedBaron''. However, his [[BunnyEarsLawyer much goofier]] ally Inspector Ippei Kumano ends up surpassing him in the passion and hot blood department. He's a bit more aggressive in battle, too ([[MeaningfulName as his last name implies]]).
* Prince Arthur from ''Series/{{Merlin 2008}}''. Whether it's sword-fighting, jousting, protecting Camelot, or falling in love, this guy does ''not'' do things by half.
* Lieutenant Starbuck from ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|1978}}''. While he prefers living an easy-life, all emotions go out once he's in the cockpit of a Viper. Or off-world dealing with Cylons, hostile aliens and one very evil DevilInPlainSight. Or playing Triad against a rival.
* Damon from ''Series/TheVampireDiaries''. He is passionate, reckless and impulsive.
* David Starsky from ''Series/StarskyAndHutch'': impulsive and outspoken, affectionate and protective, passionate about every whimsical interest and exciting idea and opportunity that comes his way, inclined to make colorful, intimidating threats, and in possession of a notoriously ferocious temper and a tendency to back it up with a swift left hook to the jaw of whoever pissed him off. On occasion, he intentionally pushes this UpToEleven to manipulate a perp in a GoodCopBadCop routine. However, it's actually when he [[TranquilFury calms down]] that things really start to get dangerous.

** "Ours is the Fury" are the words of House Baratheon, and all the scions of that House are very headstrong and passionate about things that don't go their way.

** The entire cast of ''ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'', although natch, [=KyoryuRed=] is usually the loudest and bravest.

* Common in ProfessionalWrestling; the two most famous examples are HulkHogan and StoneColdSteveAustin. The UltimateWarrior was so hot blooded that he came off as insane. Listen to one of the Warrior's interviews where he would rant and rave about crap no one ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laiZgrIpbcA including the people working for WWF) could understand.]]

** The absolute insanity that was the "Macho Man" RandySavage.

** Arya gets very openly angry about things she disagrees with in early seasons, but she later learns to restrain it to TranquilFury.

** Catelyn Stark's MamaBear instincts often override her sense of reason and lead her to brash actions that work against her family in the long run, such as her impromptu capture of Tyrion and her release of Jaime.

* Vyvyan, Mr. Balowski, occasionally Mike and ''especially'' Rick from ''TheYoungOnes''.

* Prince Arthur from ''Series/{{Merlin}}''. Whether it's sword-fighting, jousting, protecting Camelot, or falling in love, this guy does ''not'' do things by half.
