Warm Moments At The La Times Table
Brian Tyree Henry wasted no time expressing gratitude after joining LA Times as their guest at this year’s Emmys. In a heartfelt Instagram post, the Atlanta star wrote, “I appreciate a seat at any table where love is served. This group definitely delivered that. The talent, the convo, the hugs—all real and necessary. Thank you @latimes! #emmys.” Accompanying his caption were several snapshots showing Henry and fellow creatives sharing laughs, embraces and animated discussions against the backdrop of the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
Henry’s post (see https://www.instagram.com/p/DLBIIeCRevu/) captures the easy camaraderie that comes when a media host knows how to make its guests feel at home. Photos show Henry seated alongside critics, writers and fellow actors, swapping stories and raising glasses. The actor’s shout-out to the LA Times isn’t just a courtesy: it reflects an industry savvy that has defined Henry’s rise from indie film standout to Emmy-nominated performer.
A Seat At The Table
In his caption, Henry emphasizes that the gathering went beyond glitz and glam. “The talent, the convo, the hugs—all real and necessary,” he wrote. It’s a rare public window into the off-camera moments that shape award-season buzz—those intimate corners where genuine praise and honest feedback flow among artists and journalists. LA Times has hosted tables at previous award shows, but Henry’s endorsement underlines how those settings can become spaces for community and creative exchange.
Through the black-and-white filter of one image, Henry clutches a coffee cup, mid-laugh, while another shot shows him leaning in to listen as a colleague shares an anecdote. In a final frame, a group hug between Henry and LA Times writers illustrates why he was so moved. The sincerity of those images echoes his onscreen work—roles that balance humor and heart in projects from the FX series Atlanta to his acclaimed turn in the Apple TV+ drama Dope Thief.
About Brian Tyree Henry
Born in Fayetteville, Georgia, in 1982, Brian Tyree Henry studied drama at Carnegie Mellon University before breaking out on stage and in independent films. His breakthrough came as Alfred “Paper Boi” Miles on Atlanta (2016–22), earning him Critics’ Choice and Emmy nominations. In recent years, Henry has expanded into big-budget fare—playing Phastos in Marvel’s Eternals (2021) and co-starring in Emerald Fennell’s period comedy Saltburn (2023).
Henry is also attracting attention for Dope Thief, his Apple TV+ series in which he plays a complex detective. In a prior Instagram update, he thanked Star Trek’s Kate Mulgrew for presenting him with the Performer Tribute at the Gotham Awards, calling her “Ma” and praising her “words [that] rocked me and that entire room.” His ability to move seamlessly between drama, comedy and genre work is part of what makes him such a sought-after Emmys guest—and honoree.
Looking Ahead
With Emmys night concluded, Henry’s thanks to LA Times suggests he’s already gearing up for the next creative chapter. He recently teased that the final Dope Thief episode drops this Friday on Apple TV+, urging fans to “wrap this season up right.” As award-season momentum carries him into new roles, his Instagram reminder—that warm connections can matter as much as on-camera awards—resonates across Hollywood’s fast lanes.
From intimate table talks to red-carpet premieres, Brian Tyree Henry continues to prove that genuine conversation and heartfelt hugs are as crucial to his craft as his Oscar buzz–worthy performances. His Emmys shout-out to LA Times is more than a thank-you post; it’s a reminder that, in show business, real moments often happen off camera.
