Christopher Lloyd is an Emmy nominee once again. On Wednesday, he received his fourth career nomination, for guest starring in the HBO comedy series “Hacks,” and his first since winning Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for “Avonlea” in 1992. Before that, he was twice nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy for the classic sitcom “Taxi” and won both times, in 1982 and 1983.
In “Taxi,” which ran from 1978 to 1982, first on ABC, then on NBC, Lloyd played Reverend Jim Ignatowski, a New York City cabbie born into a wealthy family who tried a drug-laced brownie while a student at Harvard and became what he called the “living embodiment of the Sixties.”
