First-time ‘Ozark’ Emmy nominee on working with star Jason Bateman
first Emmy nomination for directing “Su Casa Es Mi Casa,” the game-changing Season 3 episode of “Ozark” in which Marty and Wendy Byrd (Jason Bateman, Laura Linney) angrily confront each other about their teetering marriage (with ugly ramifications).“I was close to not submitting the episode [for Emmy consideration],” says Semanoff, 41. “A day or two before it was due, I turned to my wife and said, ‘Should I submit it? Is this a waste of $250?’“About a week before the nominations came out, I caught wind of a bunch of panels happening around ‘Ozark,'” he says.
