From Michael Douglas to Hugh Grant, how television continues to attract big name actors:
So what do these nominees, some of whom are seeing their first-ever TV roles and Emmy accolades, feel they get from this medium’s experience that is missing from film?
Veteran Tony Award-winning theater actor Porter, whose turn as ballroom emcee Pray Tell in FX’s barrier-busting “Pose” earned him his first-ever Emmy nom, too , also credits the writing and longer arcs of the small screen for drawing him into the project. But more important to Porter is the chance to shine a light on underserved people and bring their stories to the forefront. “I’ve very rarely seen anyone like myself ever portrayed in this way, so it’s a very special time,” he says. “Art has the power to transform hearts and minds, and to change people. We create empathy, and empathy creates love.”
Despite having only seven episodes to tell the story of “Escape at Dannemora,” its slow-burn approach hooked Del Toro “because that pace also allowed it to explore minor characters, who in a movie would just get one scene.” Here, he says, they added “so many layers to the story and so much resonance that gradually builds and builds.
