00:00Congratulations! Thank you very much. Thank you.

00:03Let's see that trophy. Hold it up. Oh, that's crazy, right?

00:06That's crazy. I still can't believe this. This is strange,

00:10but it'll sink in at some point. I just need to

00:14spend more time with it. I wake up in the morning

00:18and it's still in my room, then I know it's real. I know it's real.

00:21And here's your...

00:24Oh, I have one of those already. Yeah, you already do.

00:27What was your reaction when you heard his name call?

00:30I mean, I couldn't have been more excited.

00:34Finally, the good guy won. We've had a lot of years on Fargo

00:37where the decent man didn't win, and finally the decent man won.

00:41So, it's a victory for America. Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed.

00:45Who was the first person you called or texted

00:48after you got off stage and accepted your Emmy?

00:50Oh, man. I don't know. I got back to my phone

00:54and it was blowing up, and I saw my mom when I got back to my seat.

00:58I checked my phone, and I responded to my sister.

01:01So, my sister sent me a text message,

01:03and then a friend who's with my daughter right now,

01:06and people back at my house, my daughter, you know, FaceTimed,

01:10and yeah, yeah, I was shocked she was still awake,

01:13because, again, she doesn't respect me.

01:15Maybe she will tomorrow.

01:17Maybe she will tomorrow.

01:18Yeah, she better. She better.

01:20Did you get a chance to hang out with Robert Downey Jr. at the show at all?

01:22Is he going to sign that poster?

01:24He better sign the poster.

01:25No, but no, I didn't get a chance to see him.

01:27I saw him from a distance in the crowd,

01:29but he's one of my, you know, all-time greats,

01:32and so it's just to be in the category with him,

01:34I felt like I won already.

01:36But this means even more, so.

01:38Straight from the Emmys to the after party where we are now,

01:40who from the Fargo crew is going to party the hardest at this party tonight?

01:44I mean, if it's not Juno Temple, I want my money back.

01:47Yeah, yeah, my money's on Juno, for sure.

01:50I think it needs to be you.

01:51You've got to hold that trophy up.

01:52Oh, yeah, this thing is heavy.

01:53My arm's already tired, so it's not too much.

01:56I'll be here for a while.

01:57I'll be here for a while, but I'm going to soak it all in.

02:00And they were wrapping people up pretty quickly on stage today.

02:03Is there anybody that you didn't get a chance to thank in your speech

02:05that you'd like to thank now?

02:06Oh, man, there's so many folks, you know.

02:08Anthony Gilardi, my acting coach, I thanked you.

02:13Warren Littlefield, Kim Todd, Steve Stark, Dana Gonzalez, the whole squad over there.

02:19My entire cast, they know who they are.

02:22I want to say this.

02:24I want to say that the last episode of the last scene,

02:29the last scene of the last episode of Season 5 was Sienna King, David Rizdal,

02:36Sam Spruill and Juno Temple, was one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my life.

02:42And I wasn't there on that day, but watching it, I felt like taking notes as an actor going, wow.

02:46And then a storyteller, like, to put that together was one of the greatest things I've ever seen in television.

02:52And, you know, I'm just happy to be a part of it.

02:55And all the folks out there, I forget to thank, I'm sorry.

02:57I'll get back to you.

02:59You'll win another.

03:00You'll thank him next year.

03:01Yeah, that's the plan.

03:02That's the plan.

03:03I'll let you get into the party.

03:04Congratulations.

03:05Have an amazing rest of your night.

03:06Thank you very much.

03:07Thank you both so much for stopping.
