Jeff Hiller on his unexpected Emmys win, finding God in friendship, and his time as a social worker

Jeff Hiller never expected to win an Emmy. He was used to side roles like “Mexican restaurant waiter” and “frazzled salesman,” and then his big break came as Joel on the HBO show “Somebody Somewhere.” He tells NPR’s Rachel Martin that not only did the role bring him critical acclaim, it also serves as an example of kindness and decency that has become a kind of moral compass for him.
