This is the second win and sixth nomination for Matthew Macfadyen. He previously won as part of the Succession (2020) ensemble. He was also nominated individually in 2020 & 2022, also with the ensemble of Succession in 2019 & 2022. He wins for his performance as Tom Wambsgans on Succession.

One of the greatest Emmy wins of last year had to be when Matthew Macfadyen was named the best supporting actor for his work in season 3. I was so close to awarding him my supporting trophy next year but I ended up with Park Hae-soo for Squid Game. This year though even with strong competition I was again impressed by the work of Macfadyen's work and would've felt wrong not individually awarding him once throughout the shows run. There were so many moments in this final season were Matthew shone but none more than in his many scenes opposite his on screen wife Sarah Snook. Their fight scene in episode seven was especially brilliant with actors firing out disgusting insults so beautifully so. Matthew has become such an impactful actor with his entire performance as Tom Wambsgans over the shows four seasons.
