For casting directors, there is no such thing as a small part.

Shows like “Widow’s Bay,” “Hacks,” “Pluribus” and “The Pitt” not only made an impression with the Television Academy across the board, but saw many of their supporting actors and guest stars land nominations. Working character actors like Kate O’Flynn, Carlos Manuel Vesga, Lauren Weedman and Patrick Ball all landed their first Emmy nominations for brief but meaty parts.
