Rockies, plus the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Mini- Series or Movie. He didn’t watch the Emmys on TV, but got the news soon enough.“We were watching a herd of elk that had just crossed us on the road,” he relates.“We were out hiking and when I got back to the vehicle I saw a message on the phone.

Some of the reviews said things like ‘ham- fisted hatchet job,’ and other reviews said ‘the best thing ever put on television.’“At that point I just stopped reading,” he laughs. There’s just no winning that one.”Pepper sees his win as a vindication for the production.“It’s such a cool validation for so many people that worked on that production,” he says.“It was a gruelling, challenging project: to have it recognized this way, with the Canadian Geminis and now with the Emmys, it makes me feel very, very good for all the people who were involved, that worked so hard.”Pepper may not be as famous as Tom Cruise, but he has quietly assembled quite a resume.

He really stood by those values, and lived and died fighting for them.“It was such a refreshing thing to study, and to hear those speeches, and to understand who the inner man was.
