Tres actors van ser nominats a aquesta categoria per papers que abans havien estat classificats com Millor Actor de Repartiment de Musical: George Rose guanyà el de Millor Actor el 1976 interpretant a Alfred P. Doolitle a My Fair Lady, mentre que el 1956 Stanley Holloway va ser-ho a Millor Actor de Repartiment.
