Many fans argued that young Dexter star Sol Ansell, who plays Egg, deserved recognition for his performance, with some calling the omission one of the biggest surprises of this year’s Emmy nominations.Months before the nominations were announced, in an exclusive roundtable interview, ETimes had asked Dexter and co-star Peter Claffey about the growing awards buzz surrounding the show and the young actor. At the time, comparisons were already being made to the “Teenage” breakout. Owen Cooper and its impressive awards season.When asked if he thought Dexter could receive similar recognition, Peter had nothing but praise for his young co-star, saying: “Uh, yeah, 100%. Have you seen all the episodes? There’s a point at the end of six, I remember watching it like, ‘That’s really amazing, an amazing performance from a kid too.’While acknowledging the excitement surrounding the awards recognition, Peter admitted he hoped his partner wouldn’t focus too much on the awards. Peter explained: “I’d rather Dexter you didn’t think about any of that stuff. Of course, it’s hard not to look at all that stuff when you get to the point of a show like this, but… It’s a subjective art form and I think, you know, you can get carried away with the Emmys and the Oscars and the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs and just enjoy the process as much as you want.” And if you’re proud of your own performance and if they get nominated for something, that’s great, you can charge them a lot more money the next time you come. But once he’s proud of his own performance, that’s it, I’m happy and proud of his performance.”Dexter, in turn, replied, “I don’t care about that. I just do it (acting) because I like it.”Meanwhile, in a post on social media following the Emmy nominations, Dexter wrote in the comments: “Watching the Emmy nominations live with my friends and hearing that our show had been nominated for a Television Academy Award was one of the most exciting moments ever! This nomination means so much to me. I’m incredibly proud to be a part of such a talented team and congratulations. All legends Thank you to everyone who made this amazing trip possible!”‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ is currently filming season 2.
