Pete Nowalk speaks with Variety about his hit series How to Get Away with Murder and includes about working with Viola.
Pete Nowalk had a whirlwind TV season last year as the creator of Shondalands mega-hit How To Get Away With Murder.
Just as the second season of the twisty Viola Davis legal thriller is about to begin, Nowalk one of Varietys 2015 Showrunners Impact Report honorees looks back at Season 1, offering up his favorite moments, including tears from Davis and dance moves from Matt McGorry (who plays law student Asher).
Here, showrunner Nowalk talks to Variety about his best memories from How To Get Away With Murders big breakout season:
Best note: When I originally pitched the show to ABC Studios, they encouraged me to go darker with Annalise (Viola Davis) to make her more of an anti-hero, which surprised me. With network TV, youre always afraid to get the likable note, but they gave me the exact opposite. I could be more unhinged with the darker side of Annalise, which is the most fun part of the show for me to write.
Worst note: Nothing that scarred me. Im so spoiled because Shonda (Rhimes) and Betsy (Beers, pictured) guard me from the bad notes. I think they protect me!
Favorite writers room moment: We have real lawyers come and talk to us defense attorneys and prosecutors and this one prosecutor told us how to reenact the best way to get away with murder. He made me stand up and he reenacted pushing me off of a cliff. Creepy because you dont really want to find out the best way to get away with murder and you definitely dont want it to be reenacted on you, but it actually gave us this idea to do a reenactment of a murder with Steven Weber in episode two of Season 1. So that was fun just because it was so much like the show, and it was so creepy.
Proudest moment during Season 1: I was happy we won the GLAAD award because there are so many good shows on right now that have so many great gay characters, which is so new, but I was proud because Connor (Jack Falahee) is a bad person sometimes. He does bad things. So I was just happy it showed that we didnt have to write a gay character to be perfect and be a role model. He actually does things opposite of a role model like murder, having a lot of anonymous sex and cheating on his boyfriend. That just felt very liberating and progressive to me and surprising. I never expected wed win those awards because theyre bad people. But as a writer, it was very liberating.
Scene that made you laugh: Matt McGorry dancing is the thing that cracked me up the most. Hes just like humping and the couch and he just improvised all that stuff and went to town. It was way better than I could have ever expected. Its necessary. People need that comic relief.
Scene that made you cry: Thats the scene between Cicely Tyson and Viola Davis where Cicely Tyson is revealing that she actually burned down the house and killed the uncle that had sexually abused Annalise. Viola doesnt say a word in that, but so much of it played on her face, but the first time I saw that, I sobbed.
How To Get Away With Murder Season 2 premieres Thursday, Sept. 24 at 10 p.m. on ABC.
People.com shares how excited she was when anyone congratulated her on her win!
Sunday was a big night for Viola Davis.
The 50-year-old made history at Sundays 67th Emmy Awards by becoming the first African-American woman to win an Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a drama series. But amid the barrage of praises and well-wishes following her historic win, kudos from a certain newly-single actor seemed to stand out from the rest.
Jon Hamm! Davis told PEOPLE in the Emmys press room about the Mad Men star congratulating her after her win. Hes pretty handsome.
She said that her husband congratulated her too, before adding, Im excited when anyone congratulates me.
You guys have to realize, Ive been in this business 35 years, and 27 years professionally Im just excited to be part of the conversation. Ive seen the unemployment line a lot, man.
Now, to celebrate, Davis said she has two things on her mind: calling her daughter and eating.
Bread. Desert, she told reporters before adding: You know, if you eat bread in Hollywood youre subversive.
The actress won the Emmy for her portrayal of Annalise Keating in How to Get Away with Murder. She delivered an emotional acceptance speech, highlighting the struggles black actresses face. She thanked other actresses of color including Kerry Washington, Halle Berry, Gabrielle Union, Meagan Good and Taraji P. Henson, who was nominated for the same award.
But The Help actress had more to say about Henson off the stage:
Taraji P. Henson, and its very, very, very rare to find this in the business. She is the most supportive actress you can possibly imagine, supportive in ways you cant even begin to understand, and is genuine.
Ive been in this business close to 30 years, and I would put her at the top of this list in terms of support, Davis continued. We just whispered to each other, whoever gets it, its great, its wonderful and I love you.
Viola Davis is not letting go of her Emmy which she won Sunday for her starring role in ABCs How to Get Away with Murder anytime soon: The Oscar-nominated actress (and her Emmy) appeared on Ellen following her win to talk about sleeping with the pointy award, making history, and her husbands initial reaction to her speech.
Davis kicked off her acceptance speech with a quote from Harriet Tubman, one she loved and thought was so progressive. And my husband said afterwards, V, I didnt know where you were going with that! I really didnt! Davis said, laughing. When you were saying those white women with their arms stretched out over the line, I was like What is she doing? But he said, When you said Harriet Tubman said it, I was like, Oh my God, thank God.
DeGeneres, for her part, initially thought Davis was drunk maybe and Davis admitted to drinking prosecco before the show as she was getting ready. This past time, I drank while I was getting ready, while my daughter was jumping on my lap, Davis said, referring to her 5-year-old daughter. I just guzzled the glass.
Watch both parts of the interview below to hear more about Davis daughter who told her mom she would still be her favorite girl even if she lost and what it was like winning her first Emmy.

Here is a video clip of Violas beautiful acceptance speech at the Emmy Awards.
In my mind, I see a line. And over that line, I see green fields and lovely flowers and beautiful white women with their arms stretched out to me over that line. But I cant seem to get there no how. I cant seem to get over that line. That was Harriet Tubman in the 1800s. And let me tell you something: The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity. You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there,
At the end of this week the cast of ABCs series Greys Anatomy, Scandal & How to Get Away With Murder celebrate their shows at an event celebrating the Thursday Night Lineup.
How to Get Away With Murder started off season two with twists galore: Annalise has been shot! Annalise has a lover played by X-Mens Famke Janssen! Annalise took her students to a rave! It was a big episode for Viola Davis and her lead character, but one her mom probably didnt see. Thats because she was at a casino, gambling. And thats the way the Emmy winner likes it.
Listen, like I said, Im not comfortable with any sex scene. I just dont want my mom seeing it, so what Im doing is every Thursday night I give her money to go to the casino, Davis said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday. She goes to the casino every single night, but this Thursday especially, she will be going to the casino.
To keep her from just holding the money for her Friday casino trip, Davis said she uses Western Union to ensure her mom is out of the house to get it.
In fact, somebody once stole Davis moms wheelchair while she was playing the slot machines. But she did watch Davis take home the Emmy. The How to Get Away With Murder star made history by being the first black woman to win the award in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category. Davis said she had the inspirational speech prepared with the option of two quotes, but she thought the one she used by Harriet Tubman would come off as militant.
I just thought that moment was bigger than me. It was bigger than an just actress winning in that categoryit was the first time an African-American woman had won in that category, Davis said. I lost the Miss Central Falls Recreation Contest and that literally dictates my entire life.
Not anymore, Viola Davis!
How to Get Away With Murder airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on ABC.
