Emmys: 33 Supporting Actors Pose for Star-Studded Class Photo

Their roles couldn’t be more different — from aspiring spies (Holly Taylor on The Americans) to awkward tech execs (Zach Woods on Silicon Valley) to sheriffs searching for justice (Scoot McNairy on Godless) and a man who loses his longtime partner at the hands of a serial killer (Ricky Martin on The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story) — but one thing these 33 supporting actors have in common is that they’ve all brought to life memorable characters on TV in the past year. On April 17, at a beautiful estate in Silver Lake, these breakouts gathered together for The Hollywood Reporter’s annual megashoot, which reunited old friends (like This Is Us’ Susan Kelechi Watson and Insecure’s Yvonne Orji, who stuck around after the shoot to snap selfies together) and brought together many actors who’d never met before. By the end of the lovely garden party shoot, a few stories had been swapped and new friendships forged as they all prepared for the long Emmy season ahead.

What inspired you to act?
A movie many years ago called The Priest. I grew up Catholic, and it was sad, it was intense.

Most intimidating scene?
I was playing Gianni Versace’s lover, so to have to shoot a scene where you find your lover murdered in the streets was intense. I think I lived as Antonio for those 10 days that we were in Miami because we were in the set, we were there right where it actually happened, so the energy of that house really was of impact for me and my performance.
