"Giancarlo Esposito has talked about how he found out about his Emmy nominations. The 2012 Emmy nominations were recently announced, with Esposito&amp;#039;s Breaking Bad series garnering a total of 13 nominations.  Esposito, who plays Gus Fring in the AMC series, received a nod for &amp;#039;Supporting Actor In A Drama Series&amp;#039;. He will compete against six other actors, including his Breaking Bad co-star Aaron Paul. Speaking to Vulture about his Emmy nomination, Esposito said: &amp;quot;I found out from my publicist Lee Wallman. Then my children at the same moment were calling, so I knew something was going on.  &amp;quot;All four of my girls got me on speakerphone to yell, &amp;#039;Congratulations, Papa, we knew you could do it!&amp;#039; None of them watch the show except my eldest, of course.&amp;quot; Esposito&amp;#039;s eldest daughter is 16 years old, and apparently wants to be a pathologist when she grows up. He said: &amp;quot;Shayne, she&amp;#039;s 16. I had to make a big decision about allowing her to see the screening in Albuquerque of the fourth season opener, &amp;#039;Box Cutter&amp;#039;. I was nervous about that. But she really took it well.  &amp;quot;I turned to her before it started and said, &amp;#039;Just remember something, Shayne. The guy you&amp;#039;re looking at right here is your papa. The guy up there is the guy your papa is channeling&amp;#039;. She said to me afterward, &amp;#039;I thought it was okay, but I gotta say, I thought that was a great kill&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; The 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards will air on September 23.
