"It's important that people open their hearts and open their intellects to the revolution that is happening...If someone could watch our show and say, 'Oh, I get it,' or 'Oh, part of me is there,' then our mission is achieved." –Jeffrey Tambor
With reviews such as “the best series around is better than before,” the second season of Transparent starring APB speaker Jeffrey Tambor has become a major part of a cultural discussion about transgender individuals as well as discrimination. Breaking new barriers, Tambor continues to embody his character "Maura" with great dignity and courage. The message of living an authentic life shines through Tambor’s masterful acting, inspiring viewers from all walks of life.
Nominated this year for a SAG Award, a Critic’s Choice Award and a Golden Globe, Tambor understands the responsibility he has gained through his role as "Maura," a part he has loved from the very beginning. In his Emmy acceptance speech last year, he eloquently dedicated the award to the transgender community, acknowledging the disturbing statistics about violent crimes against its members and how everyone must work together to change this.
