A handful of people have won more than one Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series, but no one has won that category twice in a row. That means Shawn Hatosy could break new ground this September.
For playing Dr. Jack Abbot on The Pitt, Hatosy won the Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series trophy at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards in September 2025. With his larger role in the HBO Max medical drama’s second season, he stands a chance of getting nominated in the category again and perhaps even winning. If he does take home Emmy gold again for the role, he’ll be the first person to win the category twice in a row, according to Variety.
Ahead of his Emmy win last September, Hatosy told TV Insider it was “overwhelming” to be nominated, and he expressed appreciation for other kudos he’d received.
“It means a lot to me to feel the support from people that do this for a living,” he said. “But more importantly, I’m thrilled that the show is being recognized. I think it’s an important show. I think it has important things to say for health workers, and I also think it’s a show that is done efficiently in Los Angeles, which is a rarity these days. And so it’s good for the business, and I love this business. So I hope that this model of television making continues, and I hope that The Pitt leads to others making decisions on shows like this.”
