My heroes on TV are the guys from NCIS (I know it is just fiction and fake, I know... but one can dream, no?
), especially Agent Gibbs (Mark Harmon).
Interestingly, I only got "addicted" in the Spanish version (after having it seen in German and English), because Jethro Gibbs voice here is about one octave lower, and more what I imagine it should be sounding like to represent my ideal commander (and I see it in many versions all the time, and actually *ALL* the voices from Gibbs, over Tony, Ziva, McGee, Abby and the Doc are way better=characteristic in Spanish than in the original version, great job of the synch folks...), check it w/o listening to the content, just the voice layout:

Spain:
(sorry, NOTHING!! on YoutTube in Spanish
, but found the full versions of every chapter on MegaVideo (I chose the episode "Last Man Standing" where, after the funeral of the old director Jenny Shephard the new director takes over and chucks out the team for starters), I suggest you scroll to minute 0400 into the vid to hear the voice of Gibbs (when he orders them to get their stuff) or 0620-0850 for Gibbs, Doug and Abby: As you can see/hear she has a way more hysterical (but very Spanish "Goth") voice, and he sounds much more "commander". 11:10 for a minute then McGee /insecurity much better in his Spanish voice) and Ziva (*everybody* would want to marry that voice) in Spanish, again Gibbs sounds 100x better than in his original voice (sorry US fans).
You will have to click "Play" twice (wait for green), the start up song (Temptation by Tom Waits) has been haunting me ever since I heard that version, who would have thought Cote de Pablo, aka Zivah, can actually sing?...
FWIW,

P.S.: Tonight we had a double episode of season 7: "Patriot Down" and "Jack Knife", where finally the past of Gibbs before his Marines Sniper assignement came out into the open, there is a scene (wont spill details) where he arrives in Mexico, on horseback, with sombrero, face scarf and a poncho (to look for Mike Franks, his ex "Jefe") to a Johnny Cash song I had not heard before but which instantly got me pinned (and I am NOT a JC fan):
