Parsons is also nominated tonight for 'Best Supporting Actor in a Movie or Miniseries' for his performance on HBO'S THE NORMAL HEART.

Parsons returned to Broadway in the revival of 'Harvey' after his extremely successful debut in Larry Kramer's 2011 Tony Award winning play The Normal Heart and received the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Ensemble Performance.
