You know, we play the characters for a couple of hours or a couple of months out of the year, but this is y’all reality, the highs and lows, so thank you for embracing us to tell this story,” said Lionel Boyce, who plays a restaurant worker named Marcus, in his acceptance speech.
Lead actor Jeremy Allen White, who portrays head chef, Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, took home the best male actor Globe for a musical or comedy show, making it his second Golden Globe.
