Actor-writer Bill Hader has won second consecutive best lead actor in a comedy series Emmy for his performance in HBO’s “Barry”.

Co-created by Hader and Alec Berg, “Barry” stars Hader as a hitman who takes a left turn when he discovers he has an unrequited passion for acting. As he works through a list of hits and juggles nefarious assignments, he takes acting classes and deals with those who force him to confront the crossroads he has reached in life.

“The person I actually go to is my friend and co-creator, Alec Berg. And usually after a take, I go over to Alec and I’ll go, ‘What do you think?’. And I get one of two responses. It’s either, ‘We should move on,’ or, ‘We should go again.’ “So I want to thank you for moulding my performance. And I don’t know where I’d be without you. Alright, love you man,” Hader said.
