Following his Emmy win in September, the actor spoke to ET about being "shell-shocked" that he came out victorious.

"You never expect it'll be you and it's nice. It's a really nice thing. It's very flattering," the British star said, adding he had family on his mind moments before the envelope was opened and revealed his name.

"I was thinking of my kids watching on, family," he said. "And that's when she reads my name out, so that was that. That's what was going through my head, was my children."
