ADEEL AKHTAR: It is very strange to accept an award when you know you are just in front of a long line of people who helped make this happen. Bruce, the director who guided me to it all — I’m going to go in a minute — Kiran, who I acted opposite, and because of her bold choices, it allowed me to do what I did. Toby, the producer. They are all sitting in row K, so I am just getting a visual on them. Aysha, the producer as well. I would like to thank my agents, Hatton McEwan Penford, and Jess, who works in the office. I had to play a character who isolated himself from the best part of himself because he was scared, and that isolation compounded itself and ultimately became destructive and destructive to himself, and he lost his compassion and his kindness, and I would like to dedicate this award to my wife and my 9-month baby, who remind me to be kind and compassionate every day. Thank you.
