Torrance Coombs Steals the Show at 2025 SAG Awards as He Mixes Drinks and Laughs
The 2025 SAG Awards just turned the spotlight on some unexpected talent! While fans were busy cheering for their favorite nominees, it turns out that Torrance Coombs — remembered for his role in “Reign” — was busy stealing a scene of his own, albeit from behind the bar. Coombs, who has found a cozy niche with Hallmark and Netflix since his “Reign” days wrapped up in 2016, made a cheeky cameo as he served drinks while Kristen Bell and Jason Segel replicated their classic ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ moment.
As the ceremony unfolded, Combs shared a moment of joy, telling People, “It was a fun moment for me to be part of the bit!” His subtle yet hilarious presence was the cherry on top (or should we say “olive” in a martini?) during Segel’s towel-clad antics that had viewers cackling. The comedic duo, revisiting their beloved characters from the 2008 rom-com, saw Segel jokingly declare, “I got a surprise for you,” accompanied by the absurdity of his towel situation. Bell wasn’t having it; she shot back, “It doesn’t really have the same effect with a towel over your pants,” proving she’s still the queen of quick comebacks!
This playful banter was wisely interspersed with a touching moment as Julia Louis-Dreyfus presented Jane Fonda with a lifetime achievement award — a nod to the industry’s greats amidst the laughter. Segel and Bell’s shoulder-shaking chemistry reminded fans why they fell in love with “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” in the first place, making the reverie all the more delightful.
Coombs has been swinging by the Hallmark scene lately, starring in films like the “Unwrapping Christmas” series in 2024, proving that while he may be known for medieval drama, he’s also a Christmas lover at heart. His upcoming Netflix projects, including “The Wrong Paris” and “Little Angels,” signal that he’s not slowing down anytime soon. So, keep your eyes peeled because between serving drinks and shooting holiday flicks, Coombs is here to stay!
All in all, we hope Coombs isn’t just a passing bartender at these awards; he might just be the future of comedic scenery-steeling!
