Quick Facts for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, Awarded for ...

At the 6th Daytime Emmy Awards held in 1979, Peter Hansen was the first winner of this award for his portrayal of Lee Baldwin on General Hospital.[1][2] The awards ceremony was not televised in 1983 and 1984, having been criticized for voting integrity.[3][4] Following the introduction of a new category in 1985, Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series, the criteria for this category was altered, requiring all actors to be aged 26 or above.[5]

Since its inception, the award has been given to 34 actors. General Hospital is the show with the most awarded actors, with a total of twelve wins. In 1983, Darnell Williams became the first African-American to have garnered the award, winning for his role as Jesse Hubbard on All My Children. Since 1994, Justin Deas holds the most wins with a total of four awards for his work on As the World Turns, Santa Barbara and Guiding Light. With seven each, Jerry Ver Dorn had been tied with Deas for the most nominations since 2005. In 2009, Jeff Branson and Vincent Irizarry tied for the award, which was the first tie in this category. As of the 2024 ceremony, Robert Gossett is the most recent winner in this category for his role as Marshall Ashford on General Hospital.
