While six names may not seem like that many, it's a very long list when you're waiting for your name to be called to potentially win an Emmy. "It was alphabetical order so it was very nervewracking," creator Jill Soloway tells E!'s Will Marfuggi in the video above." I would say, guys, it's alphabetical, it's alphabetical, because people were freaking out." Luckily, no one involved in Transparent had much to worry about. The series, about a father of three adult children who reveals that he is transgender, walked away with 11 Emmy nominations this morning.

Jeffrey Michael Tambor (born July 8, 1944) is an American actor and voice actor. Tambor has five children. His oldest child, Molly Tambor, was born on July 5, 1975. He has four children with Kasia Ostlun, whom he married in October 2001. Tambor's second child and first grandchild were born within a few days of each other in December 2004. His wife Kasia gave birth to son Gabriel Kasper on December 10, 2004, and his daughter Molly Tambor gave birth to son Mason Jay Moore on December 14, 2004. On December 10, 2006, his wife gave birth to their second child, daughter Eve Julia ("Evie"). In 2007, Tambor was reported to be a Scientologist.

However, in February 2008, Tambor expressed concern about "Internet reports" about his alleged involvement with the religion and stated that he "took some Scientology classes at one time, studied Scientology for a while, but no more. I have nothing against it, but I am no longer a Scientologist." On The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on June 3, 2009, Tambor announced his wife was pregnant with twin boys due in October 2009. The boys, Hugo Bernard and Eli Nicholas, were born on October 4, 2009.

In February 2014, Amazon premiered its original series Transparent which stars Tambor as a transgender, divorced, Jewish father-turned-mother of three.
