Lumon Now Has to Answer to an Emmy Winner

Tramell Tillman recently won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama for his role as Seth Milchick in the show *Severance*. This win is historic as he is the first openly gay and Black man to receive the award. In his acceptance speech, Tillman fondly recalled his early days as an actor and thanked those who supported him, jokingly referring to his first acting coach as a ‘tough but great mother.’ He expressed his gratitude, humility, and honor, ending with a quote from his own mother: ‘Ooh, look at God!’

Tillman’s Emmy win makes him the last of the major acting category winners to be a first-time Black recipient. Viola Davis won for a leading role in a drama series in 2015, Billy Porter for a leading role in a drama series in 2019, and Olivia Cole won in 1977 for Best Supporting Actress in a comedy or drama series. It’s a moment to celebrate this historic achievement.
