“Thank you to all of my fellow actors, male and female,” Sudeikis said. “That means a lot to me — it really, really does. It’s very, very flattering, very humbling.”
He also thanked his mom “for bringing me to plays and musicals in Kansas City every time they came through,” and his dad “for taking me to go see movies.”
