You deserved it!

In case you weren’t watching *that* awards show… Terry O’Quinn just won for Best Supporting Actor in a drama. He looked great and is such a class act. He thanked his beautiful wife, gave a shout out to his kids, made a joke and then threw out a thank you to Michael Emerson (who was sitting there looking not-Ben-like at all) and the cast & crew of Lost. I love this guy!

(Will get a pix from that night as soon as one is available)

UPDATE:

Couldn’t find any pix of Terry on the red carpet with his wife.  Here are a couple of him and his new friend…

Regarding his bright shirt: Why, you ask, did Terry O’Quinn choose a bright pink shirt to go with his black suit on the night he won the television industry’s most notable award?

“Because it’s not white,” the soft-spoken actor said backstage, still visibly affected by the adulation. “They say it takes a brave man to wear hot pink.”

As for keeping his sanity, he credits “the hovering specter of poverty and my wife. You can’t live with the illusion it’s going to last forever. You’re on a good run, you hope it’s going to last.”

His Emmy speech funny: “Sometimes when we’re rolling around in the jungle in the mud, hitting each other and stabbing each other, I wonder what it would be like to bake up a sheet of cookies on Wisteria Lane and get one of their cheques,” O’Quinn said, referring to “Desperate Housewives.”

“Then I think about my castmates and crewmates, and I realize why I have the best job in the world,” said O’Quinn.

Yes, Terry, you certainly do!

Check out this backstage interview.  I’m telling you, this guy is a real class act.
