He also went on to thank his co-stars and the makers of the show, for allowing him to evolve, learn and grow with his character. Levy won awards for Outstanding Writing for the Comedy Series, Outstanding Directing for the Comedy Series, which he shared with Andrew Cividino and Outstanding Supporting Actor for the Comedy Series.
And by his third win, the actor was stunned and also feared that the internet is about to turn on him.
