Murray Bartlett, star of the “White Lotus” TV series, won the 2022 Emmy Award for Actor in a Limited Series or Television Movie. In his acceptance speech, Bartlett thanked his partner and his hometown “P’town” at the ceremony.
Reports the Boston Globe:
The White Lotus actor Murray Bartlett gave a special mention to Provincetown in his acceptance speech at the 74th Primetime Emmys.
“To my P’town family, I love you,” the Australian actor said.
Bartlett moved to Provincetown three years ago. The town is known as an LGBTQ+ haven, and Bartlett, who identifies as gay, has spoken about the acceptance he has felt from the town.
Bartlett told The Guardian that in his acting career, he has found meaning in “trying to show intimacy, especially between men, in a way that feels authentic and feels loving and feels connected, in a way that I feel we don’t see enough.”
Barlett also won the Critic’s Choice Award and was nominated for the SAG Award for his “White Lotus” role. In his Emmy acceptance, he also thanked the show’s bisexual creator Mike White for “giving me one of the best experiences of my life.”
