Lee Jung-Jae makes history as first non-English series actor to take top Emmy prize

Lee Jung-Jae won the Emmy for best actor in a drama series on Monday for his role in South Korean smash hit Squid Game, becoming the first person to take the top award for a performance that was not in English. 

He bested a crowded field: Jason Bateman for Ozark, Brian Cox as the patriarch and Jeremy Strong as his son in Succession, Bob Odenkirk for Better Call Saul, and Adam Scott for Severance. (AFP)
