The brief speech stands in stark contrast to the typical Hollywood fare where abortion and cultural messaging often overshadow faith and family.
Another red-carpet moment captured the hearts of Americans across the country last night during the Emmy Awards, thanks to a passionate acceptance speech by actor Tom Pelphrey after taking home his first award for his role in HBO’s Task, a series about an FBI task force in the working-class suburbs of Philadelphia.
The 44-year-old actor, who was raised Catholic and frequently shares his faith on social media, began his speech by giving glory 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 then turned his focus toward his growing family:
“My love, my best friend, my partner, the very pregnant Kaley Cuoco: I love you more than anything, and our family is the crown jewel of my life! Matilda, Daddy loves you! Baby girl in that belly, Daddy loves you! Thank you, and God bless!”
The brief speech — which has already racked up millions of views online
