All 4 pro wrestling references Paul Walter Hauser snuck into his Emmys speech

“Do things a little bit different. Yo, Brian Walsh, get the tables.”

Paul Walter Hauser has emerged as one of the most versatile actors working today. Who else could steal lines from Jamie Taco, work security at the Reno Sheriff’s Department, learn karate at Cobra Kai and bring a truly creepy serial killer to life in the span of three years?
