Paying tribute to his wife of more than 15 years, the Ally McBeal actress Calista Flockhart, he concluded: “I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to my peers, to my extraordinary, beautiful wife, Calista, and my family, who have given me love and courage to do all of it, and thank you to SAG-AFTRA for honouring me with this prize. This is very encouraging.”
