Rhea Seehorn, our guest on this episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, which was recorded at Chapman University, is best known for outstanding performances on two Vince Gilligan-created TV drama series: as Kim Wexler, a lawyer and love interest of Jimmy McGill, on AMC’s Better Call Saul (2015-2022), and as Carol Sturka, a bestselling romance novelist who winds up as one of just 13 people on Earth who retains free-will after some a virus melds everyone else’s minds, on Apple TV’s Pluribus (2025-).
For her performance on Better Call Saul, Seehorn was nominated twice for the best supporting actress in a drama series Emmy and three times for the best supporting actress in a drama series Critics Choice Award, and won the Television Critics Association Award for individual achievement in drama in 2023. And for her performance on the first season of Pluribus — which the New York Times described as “enormous, in quality and quantity” — she has already won the best actress in a drama series Critics Choice and Golden Globe awards, was nominated for the best actress in a drama series Actor Award, and is nominated for the best actress in a drama series Emmy Award, one of 18 noms for her show; another is for best drama series.
