Ashley Walters, Adolescence
“This is such an honour,” Ashley, who is up for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series, wrote in a statement. “This nomination means the world to me—not just as recognition, but as a reminder of how far I’ve come. It’s for everyone who stood by me through the highs and the lows, who believed in me when I needed it most.”
Indeed, Ashley couldn’t believe how far he’s come to get to this honor.
“It’s a testament to the power of perseverance,” he continued. “Dreams are important—but it’s the hard work, the setbacks, the growth, and the consistency that make them real. Five years ago, this felt out of reach. Today, I’m incredibly proud—not just for myself, but to stand alongside a group of artists I admire deeply. What we made together is something I’ll carry with me forever, and to see it acknowledged on this level is truly special.”
“Thank you to the Emmys for this nomination,” Ashley added. “To my wife and kids — thank you for grounding me and giving me purpose. To my family and friends, for being my foundation. To my team, who’ve worked tirelessly behind the scenes. And to the entire cast and crew — thank you for your brilliance and your heart. This moment is for all of us.”
