Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor The Emmys have an opportunity to highlight many who are gone but not forgotten, as there’s a slate of acting contenders across multiple categories worthy of posthumous honors. From comedian Richard Lewis to veterans such as Treat Williams and Ron Cephas Jones to the youthful wonder of Chance Perdomo, many actors deserving of recognition are up for consideration. History was made when the 2022 Primetime Emmy nominations were announced, as Chadwick Boseman (“What If…?”) and Jessica Walter (“Archer”) became the first pair of direct competitors to be recognized posthumously in the voice-over category.
Last year, the late Ray Liotta earned a posthumous nom for supporting actor in a limited series for his portrayal of a determined father whose son is undercover in prison in Apple TV+’s “Black Bird.” His co-star Paul Walter Hauser won the statuette and dedicated the award to the late performer. Aside from Liotta, 10 other late actors have received nominations following their deaths, including Jack Hawkins (“QB VII”), Walter McGinn (“Eleanor and Franklin: The White House Years”), Jack Albertson (“My Body, My Child”), Richard Burton (“Ellis Island”) and J.T. Walsh (“Hope”).
This year, two beloved performers from limited series could compete against one another. Williams, a veteran actor whose star-making performance in the 1979 musical “Hair” led to a diverse and busy career, including toplining the WB series “Everwood,” was an adored figure in Hollywood. His versatility and ease with drama and comedy kept him working until his death in 2023.
