context_page_description: The Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series is an award presented annually by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. It is given to honor an actor who has delivered an outstanding performance in a supporting role while working within the daytime drama industry.
  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. The awards ceremony was not televised in 1983 and 1984, having been criticized for voting integrity. 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.
  Since its inception, the award has been given to 33 actors. General Hospital is the show with the most awarded actors, with a total of eleven 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.
