'Severance' star Tramell Tillman to be honored at North Fork TV Festival

Tramell Tillman — the menacing Seth Milchick of Apple TV+ hit "Severance," which recently wrapped a second season — has been named recipient of the North Fork TV Festival's "Breakout Performance Award," festival founder Noah Doyle announced. Doyle called Tillman's performance "a master class in nuance, intensity, and innovation." This year's festival will take place June 17 and 18 at Sound View Greenport.

A native of Washington, D.C., Tillman (who also appears later this month in "Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning") had supporting roles in AMC's "Dietland" and Epix's "Godfather of Harlem." He has several stage credits, too, including the 2018 Off-Broadway revival of "Carmen Jones."

Tillman's particularly memorable Mr. Milchick is the manager of the "severed" floor at Lumon Industries who pursues his supervisory duties with chilling efficiency.

Tillman will also take part in "Inside the Actors Studio (Reimagined)," described as "a two-day, piano-bar-style experience featuring candid conversations." Other performers booked for this event include Anna Chlumsky ("Veep," "Inventing Anna"), Susan Kelechi Watson ("This Is Us") and Richard Kind ("Curb Your Enthusiasm").

Christopher Meloni, of "Law & Order: SVU" and "Organized Crime," was named winner of the festival's 10th annual Canopy Award.
