Vulture TV Awards 2015: Jaime Camil Wins Best Male Comedy Performer For 'Jane The Virgin'

Jaime Camil made the jump from telenovelas in Mexico to starring in the "Jane The Virgin" television series. The 41-year-old actor plays Rogelio De La Vega, a telenovela actor that turns out to be Jane's father. Camil fit right into this role coming from being one of Mexico's most loved heartthrobs starring in productions like "Que Pobres Tan Ricos," "Por Ella Soy Eva" and "La Fea Más Bella." The Vulture TV Awards 2015 have given Camil the honor as the Best Male Comedy Performer for his work on the CW comedy. "He's goofy, but he's also someone with depth and purpose," Vulture says of the actors work. "Camil's performance has plenty of comic flare, yet he gives Rogelio big feelings that still feel true somehow."

Jaime Camil's work has been recognized in the past, scoring a nod at the Critics' Choice TV Awards this year. His next task is getting a nomination at the prestigious Primetime Emmys. Although the CW has not been succesful in the past, "Jane The Virgin" has proven to be well-liked by the critics, with its star Gina Rodriguez winning at the Golden Globes earlier this year. With the Emmy voters finalizing nominees this week Jaime is hopeful that his show and his work get recognition. "We have high hopes," he said. "We're excited about it, but you also need to be realistic. Let's see what happens." We are rooting for you Jaime Camil and we hope that you receive the nod you very much deserve. Good luck!
