Jon Cryer, Emmy award winner for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy

Jon Cryer, Actor won Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for “Two And A Half Men” at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre. Cryer also won over nominees Rainn Wilson for the Office, Tracy Morgan and Jack McBrayer for 30 Rock, and Kevin Dillon for Entourage.

He made his motion picture debut by starring in the 1984 romantic comedy No Small Affair, but gained greater fame by starring as “Duckie” in the John Hughes-scripted film Pretty in Pink. Even though Cryer gained some fame by starring in these movies, he had not found television success; the shows he had starred in (The Famous Teddy Z, Partners and The Trouble with Normal) all did not last very long.
