The 10th annual North Fork TV Festival will take place Tuesday and Wednesday at the Sound View hotel in Greenport. This year the festival is honoring Tramell Tillman with its Breakout Performance Award 2025 for his portrayal of Seth Milchick in the Apple TV+ series "Severance." He also stars as Commander Bledsoe in the just-released "Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning."
New to the festival this year is "Inside the Actors Studio," which will feature 60-minute conversations with the television stars Anna Chlumsky ("Veep"), Richard Kind ("Only Murders in the Building"), Susan Kelechi Watson ("This Is Us," "The Residence"), Christopher Briney ("The Summer I Turned Pretty"), Jenn Lyon ("Claws"), and, at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Mr. Tillman.
Other honorees include Christopher Meloni, who will receive the Canopy Award 2025 for a career that has included "Law & Order: Organized Crime," "NYPD Blue," "True Blood," "Veep," and "Law & Order: SVU," for which he received an outstanding lead actor Emmy Award nomination. Mr. Meloni will accept his award at the opening night dinner.
The Rising Star Award 2025 will go to Mr. Briney, perhaps best known for his starring role as Conrad Fisher in Amazon's series "The Summer I Turned Pretty." He made his film debut starring opposite Ben Kingsley in "Daliland" as James, Salvador Dali's young gallery assistant.
