I think Im still in shock.

Its just such a weird thing.

Somebody at my recording session today said, What was it that you were nominated for?

Why is it so weird?

The show got rave reviews!

[A nomination] was never on my radar at all.

I just didnt expect it.

So its a special moment in my life as a journeyman actor.

You actually have an Emmy for your voice work onKing of the Hillfrom back in the day.

That was big too, because a lot of celebrities were doing voice parts and getting Emmys.

Theres a group of us actors [from voice-over circles], and weve been kicking around for years.

It was like doingAmazing RaceandSurvivor.

But it was easier than last season.

It just feels so good, and its so rewarding the material is just so rich.

I cant fing wait for people to see it.

Hows that been going?Its not what Im used to!

But its too early to tell.

I did a table read this morning, so… well see!
