Finalists: Fred Melamed (Casual) was up to his typical shenanigans as a shameless father with a wacky worldview all his own. Steven Williams (iZombie) was foreboding and memorable as a barber who made a lasting impression on those who walked into his shop. Hugh Laurie (Veep) became more of a go-getter, transforming his affable tagalong into a conniving, smiling con man. Noah Emmerich (Master of None) walked into an ice cream shop for a tremendously memorable demonstration of a total lack of consideration for anyone else, namely Dev. Paul Lieberstein (Togetherness) didn’t waste any time in speaking up for himself, calling out the woman who dared to look down at him as not so high and mighty.
The nominees:
Stephen Tobolowsky (Silicon Valley) fit in so perfectly right away as a chief executive with soaring ideas and little substance, so completely confident in his way of doing things. Peter Gallagher (Togetherness) added substance to the part of a rich, older boyfriend who knew right off the bat that he wasn’t as appreciated or as noticed as he should have been. Steven Weber (iZombie) chewed a lot of scenery as a magnate intent on amassing as much nefarious power as possible. Dermot Mulroney (Shameless) was a dependable figure in an unstable situation who made it seem for a moment that Fiona might actually end up happy.
The winner:
Jake Lacy (Girls), who was great as a dim-witted boyfriend on “Better With You” a while back, was a much smarter significant mother wholly committed to a relationship that could never have lasted.
