Five men are vying for the 2021 Daytime Emmy Award for “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Daytime Fiction Program.” Who will win? Digital Journal’s Markos Papadatos shares his prediction.
The nominees in this category are Neil Crone for “Endlings” on Hulu, Cheyenne Jackson for “Julie and the Phantoms” on Netflix, Tristan Rogers for “Studio City” on Amazon Prime, as well as “The Bay” actors Mike Manning and Eric Nelsen on Popstar! TV.
Analysis: Tristan Rogers gave perhaps the greatest and most compelling performance of his acting career in the final episode of “Studio City” (Episode 11titled “Decisions”). It was gut-wrenching, sincere, powerful, and overall, a true acting masterclass. He had an excellent script to work with and he killed it. Two rave performances in two years by Tristan Rogers for the same series (“Studio City”) should equal Emmy No. 2.
If for any reason the Emmy doesn’t go to Tristan Rogers, Neil Crone should receive it for his heartfelt and sentimental performance as Mr. Leopold, the beloved foster father of four children in “Endlings.”
Who Will Win: Tristan Rogers for “Studio City.”
Spoiler: Neil Crone for “Endlings.”
Should Have Been Nominated: Erik Fellows for “Purgatory.”
