The actor, 71, was awarded Leading Actor in a Miniseries or TV Movie for his role as Dr. Samuel Finnix in Disney Plus series Dopesick during the awards ceremony.
That means that he has won a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Critics Choice Award, and a Television Critics Association Award as well as an Emmy Award for his performance in the series.
