Adam Copeland is laying the groundwork for an EGOT. The former Edge received some big news on Thursday as the Children’s & Family Emmys nominations for 2024 were announced. Copeland got a hat tip for his work as the Greek god Ares on Percy Jackson and The Olympians.
The series airs on Disney+ and Copeland will be going up against fellow nominees Amanda Lawrence for Malory Towers, Elizabeth Mitchell in The Santa Clauses, Sarah Rafferty in The Walter Boys, Eric Stonestreet in The Santa Clauses and his late co-star Lance Reddick for his portrayal as Zeus.
Percy Jackson happened to lead all series this year with a total of 16 nominations and it gets Copeland back into the news cycle while he’s recovering from injury. Despite that, Copeland has remained a proactive and positive force in his community by helping his North Carlonia neighbors recover from the effects of hurricane damage.
Adam Copeland’s Acting Background
While Copeland may be best known as a WWE Hall Of Famer, his resume impressively expands outside of the squared circle. Copeland’s acting resume is rock solid as he previously starred in Vikings, Haven, and even played Atom Smasher in The Flash.
Copeland said a few weeks back in an interview that he’s ready to get back to work after his “brain forgot” that he’s 51 and he took a 21-foot cage dive.
Before getting hurt, Copeland had a memorable run with the TNT Championship and feuded with his longtime partner Christian Cage. Copeland first debuted in AEW back at WrestleDream 2023.
