Carrigan, 41, earned his third Emmy nod this year for his portrayal of Chechen mob boss NoHo Hank. He became a fan-favorite character on the critically acclaimed series, whichhe described as a “unicorn job"in conversation with PEOPLE in 2022.
Hank was such a fun character to play, he said, because he “messes with your expectations, and what you deem to be good or bad.”
Carrigan’s costarHenry Winklerwas also recognized in this category. AndBarry’s creator and starBill Hader— whopreviously wonEmmys in 2018 and 2019 — was also nominated in 2023 in the outstanding lead actor in a comedy series category.
First-time nominee Dunster, 31, wrote onInstagramthat his “mum nearly crashed her car” when he told her he’d been nominated for an Emmy. He’s “so proud to be nominated alongside” Goldstein, his “hunk of a castmate,” he added.
Goldstein is a bit of a pro at this point having been nominated for his role as irritable, former soccer playerRoy Kentfor the last three years running.
He’staken home the awardboth times he was previously nominated — in 2021 and 2022 — and in his second acceptance speech, he joked about swearing too much the first time around. “Last time I was here, I was told not to wear and I did and I’m sorry but it meant the feed got cut back home in the U.K. so my family never got to hear me say this, so thank you for this second chance,” Goldstein, 43, said before slippingin yet another expletive.
