Aside from Lincoln and Rhys, he will also face competition for the best actor in a drama series award from Kevin Spacey for House of Cards, Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston and TimothyOlyphant for Justified.
Early on, the show had an era of restraint in which the hero, Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (the tall drink of water TimothyOlyphant), tried to convince his bosses that he could hold fire.
Mr. Leonard's publisher, William Morrow, is pitching the book to fans of the show with an Amazon marketing video featuring clips from the series and a cover image that shows "Justified" star TimothyOlyphant peering out from under his Stetson.
