Ryan Reynolds, John Legend & More Stars React to 2023 Emmy Nominations

“I’m super honored to be nominated for an Emmy Award,” the nominee in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie category said in a statement. “Black Bird is the result of an indefatigable crew, 3 visionary directors, the support of the storytelling giant that is AppleTV+ and Dennis Lehane‘s mastery in capturing life in all its forms.”

Addressing his co-star Taron Egerton, Hauser added, “Taron, you’re a brilliant actor, a kind generous spirit, and I sincerely treasure our time on and offscreen.” He also said, “Thank you to the Television Academy, my teams at CAA, Artists First, The Lede Company, Dunham, Engelman, Petix, DDP, Sean M and most of all – my beautiful, patient, forgiving wife Amy. No more serial killer roles, babe.”

At the end, the actor expressed his hope for other TV series and paid tribute to his late co-star Ray Liotta. “Jury Duty Season 2?” he said. “The Bear Season 3? Fingers crossed. Long live Ray Liotta.”
