Tyler James Williams has earned his second Emmy nomination for his role as Gregory Eddie on ABC’s Abbott Elementary.
Last year, he eagerly watched as nominations were announced live and he earned his first career nod, but this year he tells Deadline he decided to take a more zen approach: “I was actually sitting, looking at the Hudson River just hanging out, and my agent called.”
In addition to Williams’ recognition for Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, Abbott Elementary scored eight nominations Wednesday morning, including Outstanding Comedy Series for the second consecutive year. Creator and star Quinta Brunson also received an acting nomination. Even the second time around, Williams says the acknowledgment is still just as sweet.
“I’m just never expecting anything. You know what I mean? There were great shows that came out this year, really great,” he said.
However, the moment feels somewhat bittersweet as nominations were announced on the eve of a potential SAG-AFTRA strike. The actors guild’s current contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers expires at midnight PT, after both parties agreed to an extension. Williams tells Deadline that, not only does he stand with his union, he thinks that the fight for a fair contract is imperative to the continued success of Abbott Elementary.
“Our [departments] need to be able to eat and live. If they can’t do that, then we can’t make this show be the best that it can possibly be,” he said.
In the interview below, Williams breaks down his feelings about his second career nomination, representing broadcast shows at the Emmys, and going on strike.
DEADLINE: Congratulations on your nomination. Were you watching the livestream?
