Jeremy Strong doesn’t want to hear about Succession anymore

The role of a lifetime

When you are a follower, like Jeremy Strong, of the “method”, it is better to have a light and happy role. The American actor, currently at the cinema in the biographical satire on Donald Trump The Apprenticehe knows something about it. In fact, if he has been active in cinema since 2008, his revelation at the highest level came with the role of Kendall Roy in the great HBO series Succession.

A series in which, as the eldest son of a media mogul, he aspires to succeed his father, a ruthless businessman and tyrannical patriarch. A legacy he believes is his due and an aspiration that, over the course of four formidable seasons, will destroy him. Having freed himself from this role in which he invested a lot, in particular attracting the ire of Brian Cox who can’t stand the “method” – that is, becoming one with the character, even off-screen – he recently declared in the columns of The Times of London that this role”it messed him up“.

This series has been an incredible gift. His material was a delight. I miss him. But Kendall’s seven-year struggle has been difficult to bear. And there’s so much more I want to do.

For his performance in Succession, Jeremy Strong was awarded in 2020 with a Emmy Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series and in 2022 for Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama Series, as well as two SAG Awards for best cast in 2021 and 2023. Above all, this performance exploded his rating making him an actor highly sought after by the elite of the profession.

Jeremy Strong puts things in perspective

Would the actor be ungrateful? No, because he is fully aware of the impact of Succession about his career, while admitting that he has completely turned the page.

It’s not something I want to go back to. I am aware that it is one of the main chapters of my life, but I don’t miss it.
