Tom Pelphrey delivered one of the most heartfelt moments of Monday night’s Emmy Awards, thanking God and paying tribute to his growing family during an emotional acceptance speech.
Pelphrey won outstanding supporting actor in a drama series for portraying Robbie Prendergrast in Season 1 of Task. He began his remarks by expressing gratitude to God.
“I thank God for my life and my sobriety. I thank my family and my friends for all your love and support all these years, from Emmys to black box theaters and everything in between,” he said.
After recognizing his Task co-stars, Pelphrey turned to his fiancée, former The Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco, with an especially moving tribute.
“And to my favorite actor in this room, my love, my best friend, my partner, the very pregnant Kaley — I love you more than anything, and our family is the crown jewel of my life,” he said.
