OUTSTANDING GUEST ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES


Murray Bartlett as Frank for (“Long Long Time”) in “THE LAST OF US”
Alan Cumming as Eli Gold for (“The End of Eli Gold”) in “THE GOOD FIGHT”
Tony Dalton as Lalo Salamanca for (“Point and Shoot”) in “BETTER CALL SAUL”
Salim Daw as Mohamed Al Fayed for (“Mou Mou”) in “THE CROWN”
Giacarlo Esposito as Stan Edgar for (“Glorious Five-Year Plan”) in “THE BOYS”
Nick Offerman as Bill for (“Long Long Time”) in “THE LAST OS US”

AND THE WINNER IS:


NICK OFFERMAN AS BILL FOR ("LONG LONG TIME") IN "THE LAST OF US"

This is the second win and twelfth nomination for Nick Offerman. He was previously nominated individually for Parks and Recreation (2010-13, 15) and with the ensemble in 2010, 12-13, 15. He won with the ensemble of Parks in 2011 and was also nominated individually for Fargo (2016). He wins for his performance as Bill on The Last of Us.

It is difficult to only award one of Offerman or Bartlett because their work is so intertwined together but for the sake of making a decision I chose to award Offerman as i've not awarded him individually yet during the history of my TV awards with Bartlett having just won an award from me for The White Lotus last year. The two men are so wonderful together during their "Long Long Time" episode, it is truly an all timer episode of television and a lot of the credit has to go to the two men for how wonderfully they build their connection leading to such a devastating episode of television. Speaking specifically on Offerman this was such a detour acting performance as I really have only known him for comedy prior so I was so thankful to see a risk taken with his casting and him be so effective as Bill. It truly warms my heart to think of this episode and the performance by these two men.
