Performances by an actor in a miniseries or television film were originally awarded in the Best Actor – Television Series Drama category before the creation of this category.
  Since its inception, the award has been given to 34 actors. Russell Crowe is the current recipient of the award for his portrayal of Roger Ailes on The Loudest Voice.
