I wish Liz Mikel would've gotten more recognition for Friday Night Lights. She nailed every scene and tbh I always looked forward to Smash storylines because it meant we'd get to see his mom

One more that I just saw, and one who won an Emmy: Kay Lenz as an AIDS patient on Midnight Caller. The first episode just after her diagnosis, the latter as she's dying. The second one broke my heart especially hard.
Luke Kirby on Marvelous Mrs Maisel, glad he was never made a regular character because the character just pops in at the right moments each season and always plays a key role on Midge's development
Dean Pelton
William Shatner on The Practice! Started the whole Denny Crane character that would go on 5 years. 2 Emmy’s. Whole new stage of career

I just discovered L.A. Law recently on youtube, so I'm going through it while it's still on there.
Alfre Woodard was indeed incredible in the pilot. Richly deserved Emmy win.
This show has some unbelievable guest stars. I was shocked and delighted to see Ralph Bellamy show up in one.
