Among the 2025 Emmy nominees, the cast of the “Shrinking” series had a strong presence. The show amassed a total of seven nominations, with four nods going to its actors. These four nominees are Jason Segel, Jessica Williams, Michael Urie, and Harrison Ford. The twist is that Ford and Urie are both nominated in the same category – Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. So, when asked about his fellow nominee, the actor from “Brian” shared his thoughts on why he believes the actor from “Paul” deserves to win.
Currently, Urie and Ford delivered exceptional performances on the show “Shrinking,” making them both worthy contenders for their respective nominations. During interviews regarding these nominations, the actor who portrayed Brian was questioned by the AP about competing against his renowned fellow cast member. In reply, he expressed his thoughts on the matter.
He’s on his way to losing, but let me clarify, I truly hope he triumphs. I had always wanted him to prevail. I admire him deeply. In fact, he’s an exceptional performer. [Smiles]
Reading the texts from Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams, and Michael Urie about their Emmy nominations for “Shrinking” has definitely brightened up my week!
I’ve been eagerly anticipating Harrison Ford’s nomination for his performance as Paul, especially since he was overlooked at the 2023 Emmys. The series “Shrinking” represents a fresh phase in his career, offering him his first recurring role on television. This new venture has given us an unprecedented glimpse into his acting prowess, showcasing a side of him that we haven’t seen before. It’s a remarkable series, and his performance is truly deserving of the nomination and potential victory, as Urie noted.
Undeniably, Urie also deserves it. Brian’s captivating performance in Shrinking Season 2 earned him a significant following, allowing him to showcase his acting abilities even more than before. His powerful speech scenes, particularly the ones repeated, have solidified his case for the nomination and possibly winning an award.
Despite his apparent preference for his co-star to win the gold, I can understand why. Harrison Ford, being 83 years old, has had a prolific career, yet has only been nominated for an Oscar once in 1986 for “Witness” and one Emmy this week for “Shrinking”. That’s quite astonishing! It’s high time he received the recognition he deserves, especially for a role that Urie described as extraordinary.
It seems to me that, due to his status as a movie action star, he hasn’t often been recognized for awards. However, he is incredibly talented. He can convey multiple stories through his eyes and facial expressions without the need for dialogue. I found myself learning a great deal by observing him, his process, and the way he thinks on camera. It’s intriguing to watch him act, even though you never truly know what he’s thinking – but you can see it in his thought processes, which is captivating.

In the series “Shrinking,” both Ford and Urie’s acting talents are beautifully showcased, revealing multiple facets of their performances. For instance, when considering the actor from 1923, I’m struck by the contrast between his poignant speech in the final episode and the heartwarming scene where he sings with Jessica Williams’ character, Gaby, in a car. What an impressive range he displays! Similarly, in Season 2, we’ve witnessed the versatility of Urie’s co-star, transitioning from his rapid-fire speech to revealing deep vulnerability and self-awareness as he navigates the adoption process with his husband.
Without a doubt, these gentlemen are deserving of their nominations, and I’m eagerly anticipating seeing them at the Emmys on September 14. However, what truly has me thrilled is the prospect of watching them reprise their roles as Paul and Brian in Season 3 of Shrinking. Fingers crossed that we can stream it with an Apple TV+ subscription before long!
