Sibley is nominated for “Outstanding Guest Performer in a Digital Drama Series” for his acting work in Dark/Web, where he played Leland Adler in the episode Rideshare. “That was pretty cool,” he admitted. “We were really excited. The show got some love too, with seven Emmy nominations. It’s an anthology. Those guys worked hard on it.”
In this Emmy category, he is nominated alongside veteran actress Lin Shaye (EastSiders). “I did a movie with Lin Shaye called Grow House a few years back,” he said. “I ran into her at a premiere a little while ago and I got a picture of us together since I am a fan of her work. Lin is super sweet.”
“I’ve been an actor for 20 years, and I’ve been slugging away, making my way. To finally get validated in this way, it feels really great,” he said. “On some level, it feels like a stamp of professionalism. It feels like climbing a mountain and getting to the top.”
For young and aspiring actors, he said, “Focus on the work. The work is yourself, and saying ‘yes’ to everything until you can’t.”
Sibley defined the word success as “feeling confident and strong.” “Success is seeing your hard work realized when you know you are doing the best you can, and seeing that flourish,” he explained.
Dark/Web is available on Amazon Prime by clicking here. “The show is really cool. It’s an anthology show that is about a group of friends that are trying to find their friend and her experience inside the Dark/Web that she is writing about. It is quite interesting,” he said.
