'Magicians' Actor Spotted Playing Pokemon Go on Golden Globes Red Carpet

A television actor was trying to catch something besides an award at this year's Golden Globe ceremony.

Jason Ralph, one of the stars of Syfy's The Magicians, posted a humorous Instagram photo of him playing Pokemon Go on the red carpet at this years Golden Globe awards. The captionless photo shows him trying to catch a Rattata as he walked down the red carpet to attend last weekend's awards.

Ralph was likely attending the event to support his partner Rachel Brosnahan, who won this year's award for Best Actress of a Television Comedy or Musical. While he was probably there to root for his significant other, it seems clear that the actor wanted to have a bit of extra fun in between all the hobnobbing and schmoozing at the annual event. The venue for the Golden Globes, the Beverly Hilton, also has a PokeStop, so we're hoping that Ralph kept it lured and caught something a little more exciting than a common Rattata.

Ralph appears to be an avid Pokemon Go player, as he also recently posted a photo of a Farfetch'd he caught during last November's Thanksgiving event.

While Pokemon Go isn't quite the cultural phenomenon it was back in 2016, it's nice to see that there are still some high-profile players enjoying the game. Here's hoping that Ralph got a few great catches over the weekend!
