\n\tEmmys<\/a>\u2026paging Dr. Abbot.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter winning the Primetime Emmy Award for guest actor in a drama series for his turn as Dr. Jack Abbot, Shawn Hatosy<\/a> returns in Season 2 with expanded visibility, appearing in six of the show\u2019s 15 episodes. In the 50-year history of guest acting races, repeat winners are rare, and repeat winners for the same show are even rarer. Only five actors in the guest drama actor category have ever won more than once: Patrick McGoohan for \u201cColumbo\u201d (1975, 1990), Ed Asner for \u201cRich Man, Poor Man\u201d (1976) and \u201cRoots\u201d (1977), John Lithgow for \u201cAmazing Stories\u201d (1986) and \u201cDexter\u201d (2010), Charles S. Dutton for \u201cThe Practice\u201d (2002) and \u201cWithout a Trace\u201d (2003), and Ron Cephas Jones for \u201cThis Is Us\u201d (2018, 2020).<\/p>\n

\n\tNotably, no performer has ever won back-to-back guest drama actor Emmys<\/a> for the same role. It is a lane Hatosy could create entirely for himself.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat kind of streak has been achieved in other guest categories, most famously by Mel Brooks, who remains the only three-time consecutive winner for \u201cMad About You,\u201d and Jay Thomas, who won back-to-back for \u201cMurphy Brown.\u201d On the drama side, Margo Martindale pulled it off for \u201cThe Americans,\u201d while the guest comedy actress category has seen consecutive wins from Jean Smart for \u201cFrasier\u201d and Maya Rudolph for \u201cSaturday Night Live.\u201d Expanding the lens further underscores the rarity, with only a handful of performers winning multiple times for the same show in nonconsecutive years, including McGoohan for \u201cColumbo,\u201d Patricia Clarkson for \u201cSix Feet Under,\u201d Cephas Jones for \u201cThis Is Us,\u201d Colleen Dewhurst for \u201cMurphy Brown,\u201d and Kathryn Joosten for \u201cDesperate Housewives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe HBO Max medical drama broke out in a major way with its first season, winning five Emmys, including outstanding drama series, lead actor for Noah Wyle and supporting actress for Katherine LaNasa, alongside Hatosy\u2019s guest victory. It enters this year\u2019s race as the clear show to beat.<\/p>\n

\n\tHatosy\u2019s work is central to that momentum. As Dr. Abbot, he delivers a grounded, lived-in performance that plays effectively opposite Wyle, anchoring the show\u2019s high-stakes storytelling. His slightly expanded role in Season 2, along with stepping behind the camera to direct the episode \u201c3:00 P.M.,\u201d could even position him for a potential double nomination. With six episodes under his belt, including the upcoming season finale, he once again sits in the gray area between guest and supporting, a space that Emmy voters and Television Academy officials continue to debate.<\/p>\n

\n\tStill, narrative matters. Repeat winners often benefit from a compelling story, whether it is overdue recognition or sustained excellence. Hatosy brings both, bolstered by his long collaboration with producer John Wells and standout roles on \u201cSouthland\u201d and \u201cAnimal Kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWith \u201cThe Pitt<\/a>\u201d it gives a chance to redefine what a guest acting win looks like in today\u2019s television landscape. Dr. Abbot might just make Emmy history when he comes off the night shift. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emmys\u2026paging Dr. Abbot.
