Noah Hawley — the Staples High School 1985 graduate (and former Staples Players member) who serves as writer, executive producer and show runner for “Fargo” — stood proudly last night on the Emmy stage. With cast and crew arrayed behind him, he accepted TV’s top award for the Top Miniseries.
He cited Joel and Ethan Coen, directors of the 1996 dark comedy film that sparked the FX show. Hawley said, “They let me pretend, if only for 5 minutes, that I was one of the greatest filmmakers alive, and I thank them for that.”
Beyond “Fargo,” Hawley is a film and TV producer, screenwriter, composer and author. He wrote and produced “Bones,” created “The Unusuals” and “My Generation,” and is the author of 4 novels.
