In his speech, the actor thanked his family as well as every person who was apart of his journey toward this memorable win. One person he specifically addressed was Dan Fogelman, saying, “You wrote a role for a black man, that can only be played by a black man. And so, what I appreciate so much about this thing is that I’m being seen for who I am and being appreciated for who I am. And it makes it that much more difficult to dismiss me or dismiss anybody who looks like me.”
