Keivonn Montreal Woodard’s Emmy nomination for his role as Sam Burrell in HBO show The Last of Us was notable for multiple reasons: he is the youngest actor to receive a nomination for outstanding guest actor in a drama series, the second-youngest Emmy nominee in history, and is the first Black deaf actor to be nominated, according to Variety.
But anyone who followed along closely for updates likely learned of this before the young actor. You see, the 10-year-old was at basketball camp, so it took some extra time to convey the news.
