J. Smith-Cameron is giving Emmy voters several reasons to consider her this season.

Back in 2024, when Variety spoke with Smith-Cameron, the actor had made a cameo on HBO’s “Hacks” as Deborah Vance’s (Jean Smart) younger sister, Kathy. “It feels to me like there’s more,” Smith-Cameron had said.

She was right — there was more. This season, she manifested a return to the comedy series, appearing in two episodes, and continued to be the thorn in Deborah’s side.
