Kudos to former scientologist and classed auditor Jeffrey Tambor for winning a Golden Globe award for taking on a role which Scientology would have pushed him to not take.

His role has been an inspiration and comfort to many, including such members here as the late Denise Brennan and cancer-free Kate Bornstein :thumbsup:

Golden Globes: 'Transparent's' Jeffrey Tambor Becomes First Actor to Win for Transgender Role

Transparent continued to rack up awards in its stellar first Golden Globes run as Jeffrey Tambor took home the best actor in a TV series, comedy, trophy for his work in the Amazon critical darling.

Hailing from creator Jill Soloway, Transparent follows a Los Angeles patriarch (Tambor) as she struggles to come out as transgender to her self-involved adult children (Amy Landecker, Jay Duplass and Gaby Hoffman) — all of whom are dealing with their own issues involving gender and sexuality.

Tambor was quick to thank the creator for her role in bring Maura Pfefferman to life: "Jill Soloway, you have changed my life." He quickly added, "For the better, by the way."

Tambor also took the opportunity to dedicate his award and performance to the transgender community: "Thank you for letting us be a part of the change."

Tambor’s work as Mort/Maura beat out tough competition in Louis C.K. (Louie), William H. Macy (Shameless), Ricky Gervais (Derek) and former category winner Don Cheadle (House of Lies) to win his first Golden Globe.

George Sr. – Tambor's character on Arrested Development – underwent a spiritual revelation and converted to Judaism while in jail for defrauding investors. Tambor, however, made sure to quash rumors that he actively practices Scientology. "I took some Scientology classes at one time, studied Scientology for a while, but no more," Tambor told LA.com. "I have nothing against it, but I am no longer a Scientologist."
