The latest Emmy punditry suggests The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story‘s titular co-star Édgar Ramírez is a lock to nab a nomination for Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie. There’s also a decent amount of heat surrounding Ramirez’ onscreen squeeze Ricky Martin.
But as TVLine’s Dream Emmy panel sees it, there’s a third, far more under-the-radar member of Versace‘s ensemble that is most deserving of one of the category’s six slots. Who is it?! You know the drill (see gallery widget, promptly click it and all will be revealed).
CODY FERN, THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY
WHY HE DESERVES A NOD: We didn’t expect a show with Versace’s name in the title to stray so far from its apparent focus — but if it hadn’t, we never would have experienced the rollercoaster relationship between Andrew Cunanan and his friend-turned-victim David Madson, embodied with haunting realism by Fern. From his horrified spiral upon discovering Andrew’s dark impulses, to the imagined closure he got with his late father in death, Fern delivered a touching performance that embodied the series’ overall themes of rejection and despair.
