Rhea Seehorn Celebrates Collaboration in IndieWire Honors Speech

During a memorable evening at the IndieWire Honors, Rhea Seehorn, star of the Apple TV series “Pluribus,” used her acceptance speech for the Performance Award to shine a spotlight on her colleagues and the collective effort behind her acclaimed role. Seehorn, known for her portrayal of Carol Sturka—a writer advocating for human uniqueness in a dystopian world altered by extraterrestrial forces—emphasized the importance of teamwork in artistic endeavors.

Seehorn opened her speech with heartfelt gratitude toward IndieWire, acknowledging the publication’s 30th anniversary and its impact on her career. “Thank you, IndieWire, for this,” she expressed, “Your critical writing about television and film has been a part of my life for 30 years. You’ve managed to remain insightful while being humane, which I deeply appreciate.”

The actress then extended her appreciation to Vince Gilligan, the creator of “Pluribus,” for crafting the role of Carol specifically for her. Her acknowledgment also included the extensive team that brings the series to life—ranging from the crew, writers, and directors to the editors, producers, casting team, and even the background actors.

Highlighting the collaborative nature of her industry, Seehorn shared, “I am a die-hard believer that what we do is a collaborative art form, not a solo venture. We are better, every single one of us, our work is better, because of the contributions of others.” She made it clear that her accolade was a recognition of the entire team’s effort, not just her own performance.

Seehorn also took a moment to thank her personal support system, including her manager, agents, and family, who have supported her throughout her career. She expressed her belief in the power of community and mutual support which plays a crucial role in the successes within the acting world.

The IndieWire Honors event, held in Los Angeles, was not just an award ceremony but also an intimate gathering that included a cocktail reception. The occasion was marked by an atmosphere of camaraderie and mutual respect among the attendees, celebrating achievements across various fields in the entertainment industry.
