Hard to believe that Kendall Roy isn't a real person and only a character. Jeremy is an incredible, incredible actor.

[@AdAstra78]

He's so, so good in Succession. The scene where he breaks down hugging Shiv makes me well up every time i watch it. Few actors can portray 'haunted' quite like this guy...

[@ravenswood118]

I don't think he's playing. Jeremy has a vulnerability and a sadness about him. I don't mean that in a bad way :)

[@bramstayer]

@@ravenswood118 wow. I thinks hes a great sctor. We ALL have everything in there. A good player can exude them for his character. This character is at times just pitiful and others very damn stupid, overplaying a bad hand. Yet I'm still rooting for him. I believe the character won't be blackmailed anymore once he confesses. I thought that. Its happened. He can sink him quite LITERALLY still. Deal or no deal. You see. Its all just moving papers..etc. i will predict he will turn the deal with the Swede upside down...

There's something so magnetic about him. As Kendall and as himself.

[@estrajano]

That voice

[@sams7068]

Kendall is somehow both incredibly uncool and charismatic

[@NoraGermain]

he was sooooo good in the big short too

[@DavidBrackett385]

Very talented for sure

[@hellobecky84]

Completely agree. And I don't think that's typical of many actors working today.

[@themindofceline]

people like jeremy are rare in the industry, I hope to see him in many more projects in the future

[@mrb4761]

He was amazing in The Judge - a smaller role with high visibility folks like RDJ Jr and Vincent D'Onofrio and heavyweights like Robert Duvall

[@pahvi3]

Jeremy Strong has that mysterious undeniable and singular magic about him that I can't quite put my finger on what it is exactly. I guess it's his sincerity and sensitivity. I love how he really doesn't censor himself but just unapologetically geeks out about his characters and the acting work at the risk of sounding too serious or pretentious. But it's all real, he doesn't try to put a super self-aware veneer of second-order observation on any of it, but neither does he name drop all the authors he quotes just to sound educated. He's just sincerely blurting out all this precious insight into what goes on in his brain when he acts and he's just genuinely passionate about it. It's so refreshing and I really appreciate the extent of the empathy he portrays his characters with. Also, he's sexy as hell, that's all.

[@Mike-zx1kx]

Makes so much sense that he moved to Denmark IMO.

[@mrbabadookbooks]

I know, right? I need a scientist to explain his appeal to me because he’s the sexiest man I’ve ever seen but it’s in an indescribable way. He’s got the rizz

[@amun1040]

This guy's language is respectful, you can see that he is a very good reader, and being married to a psychiatrist has an effect on him as well.

[@jvallas]

I listen to a lot of podcasts, and no interviewer is so respectful, allowing the interviewee to speak uninterrupted, as this interviewer did. It made this so enjoyable that Jeremy could complete his thoughts in full. Thank you.

[@grashinaf4047]

right! theres some interviews with jeremy strong where he gets interrupted and the interviewer seems more interested in listening to themselves speak. its frustrating.

[@xLAPPUINx]

His eyes carry humor and laughter out loud. He's such a good actor.

[@Jaglicic1]

yess but the pain in his eyes during the difficult scenes is something I've never seen before

[@AngelaBonanza]

Jeremy is so intelligent and speaks so thoughtfully about the show. No wonder he plays Kendall so believably - I can really feel the emotions coming from him through the screen

[@SoulPatroller]

Jenelle: Thank you for asking good questions and letting him speak. Such an intelligent, thoughtful actor. This was mesmerising. More, please!

[@annmarie8483]

it is so refreshing to listen to the actor speaking about what he's thinking about his role on such a deep level. usually it's like 'it was much fun and very interesting' but he analyses the whole thing on so many levels and i appreciate that so much. he's just incredible

[@amywill9185]

Hes so smooth. I love his face and how carefully he speaks

[@abriaangel9986]

There is something so comforting about is demeanor and voice, he really is an incredible actor, he was born to play Kendall Roy.

[@nesliyldz2948]

Love Jeremy Strong so much. He is a true dedicated character actor and a gentleman who portrayed such a complex characters. The epitome of excellence and class.

[@converdis449]

I first noticed Jeremy in The Big Short. Loved him in The Gentlemen and he is just brilliant in Succession. He has become my favourite actor.

[@sadie_true8442]

This interview is incredible. I love the way Jeremy talks about his craft. Thank you so much for giving him the space to talk freely and at length. An utter pleasure start to finish.

[@ejszifer]

I love that he takes this show so seriously and has so much to say about the process, usually actors are just like 'yeah it's awesome'

[@hellobecky84]

I watched all three seasons in the past two months and cannot shake his performance. He is magnetic and just as much so here, talking about his craft. What a treasure.

[@bethlady4975]

How can he be so meta at the same time have perspective from the outside and so clearly too? His opinion on the story of it all is remarkable.

[@1LankyLady]

His earnestness is so adorable & compelling...

[@zeenanigans1983]

The thoughtfulness is astounding from this man. No wonder he got the Emmy so deservedly. I can only wish for great things for him.

[@NunyaChick9]

“Moral rot”. God I love this man’s mind and integrity.

[@JuheeSo]

This interview is an incredible insight into Jeremy Strong, the actor, and Kendall Roy, the character. The fact that he calls Logan Roy as 'my' father during the interview, I thought, got him to bring out the Kendall Roy we know. It's astounding how much emotional loads he had to intake to become Kendall....I was so touched when he candidly admitted that taking the lead role made him feel afraid... I am so thankful that Jeremy took the role and took every bit into account... Dont think the show would have worked without his vulnerability and ernest approach to characterisation. Amazing work, thank you.

[@apseudonym]

I love when actors genuinely love talking about their craft. so many of them don't want to intellectualise the process let alone actually talk about it

[@DrRestezi]

Interesting that Jeremy relferred to Logan as "my Dad" and not Kendal's dad. True method actor.

[@matiasbarth5121]

Great interview, Jenelle gave Jeremy all the time he needed to bless us with his thoughtful insights. I feel it's impossible not to be fascinated by him. Thanks Jeremy for being such an incredible person. Looking forward to your future works!

[@elymuff]

I love the fact that Jesse Armstrong is changing the world through his work.

[@ChrisFarrellChannel]

i don't know what it is about this guy - but I find him just immeasurably watchable.

[@AA-qb7ni]

Jeremy is one of the best actors around. So talented.

[@lamome07]

Immensely talented, eloquent, passionate, fascinating Jeremy!

[@lindamcandrew1229]

Great interview! Extremely impressed by Jeremy Strong both as an actor and human being he has so much depth and integrity. Succession is the first work of Jeromys that I’ve seen he’s such an amazing actor. I’m eager to seek out his other films to watch all his characters! 👏💗

[@irina5718]

Jeremy is such an incredible person, inside and outside. He is one of the most underrated actors of our time.

[@amani7753]

He is beautiful and seems kind and sensitive

[@christyhoehn8244]

Yes, thank you so much for giving him the space to explain his feelings and acting thoughts without interrupting! Brilliant!!

Jeremy Strong is a very accomplished actor. He is able to present a whole host of emotions. Great work...

[@totaldeparture7848]

Fascinating person, incredible actor. Big fan of Kendall's arc so far, can't wait for more!

[@laurielynne2006]

Massachusetts boy!! Such a great actor. Oh and rapper of course

[@JennySieck]

What a delightful human.

[@rmcmariusable]

I absolutely loved everything about that rap scene. Love you Jeremy and love Kendall's character.

[@bbuuttercupp]

I love his thought-processes and how he explains things. The way he will go on different tangents just to find the perfect way to describe something to someone reminds me so much of how my brain works and how I talk lmao so it's really easy to follow. He's of course way more eloquent and interesting than I am lmao

[@brigida2350]

It's funny that a character like Kendall can feel so close and easy to connect to to some of us but listening to him it's clear why that is, it seems impossible for the result of his work to be anything but that. “There's nowhere to hide with Kendall”. Oh man, I'm going to miss him.

[@Sancho_Retablez]

All the cast in this series are so on point. I can't imagine another actor playing the role they're in.

[@TWFarr]

Interviewer:"So how was it doing a rap for Logan?" Jeremy: 13 minutes later... He's the best.

[@Δ-Δ-Δ-Δ]

Slay, king.

[@MickeysThree]

i love listening to eloquent people interview

[@saschatran1246]

There’s a tenderness with him with a grungy eloquence… if that made any sense.

[@Δ-Δ-Δ-Δ]

What is grungy?

[@xfer43]

Fascinating conversation. I have seen other Succession actors discuss what sounded like “concern” regarding how Jeremy takes the character home. Meaning to say that he goes deep into the character portrayal. Listening to how he refers to the his character experiences as his own, he strikes me as that being a very emotionally character to portray. He is the type of actor I would really like to meet and converse with.

[@W00KER]

Great interview, Strong is one of the best actors working today.

[@JustineSHarrison]

he's so inspiring! As a SAG member, thanks to the Foundation for these interviews! I wanna work w/ Jeremy some day!

[@mariangelaaaaa]

this was suuuch a good interview! he's so smart, i just want to get into his brain.

He's so thoughtful and sensitive. I hope he makes it out of all of this massive fame all right.

[@tonygallacher4716]

Interesting insights into the character and how he plays Kendall Roy. Btw, people from the US often mispronounce ‘Glasgow’ to rhyme with cow. Always appreciate when someone gets it right, as here.

[@jawadsahbi3145]

Fait accompli, bon vivant. Vive la France et vive Jeremy Stong :)

[@fulloffiresagittarius2944]

Your mannerisms are very spot on which is probably exactly why your character is stellar. You all exude mannerisms that can be felt.

[@christyhoehn8244]

I’m only part way thru this , but he stays in character 24/7…. Crazy good… I love him!

[@christyhoehn8244]

Also they said he broke ( fractured? ) his ankle during that amazing running scene but kept going…..

[@sunnydaze2359]

@@christyhoehn8244 I also heard that he had them pour ice cubes over him during the running scene so that it would look more realistic. I guess that is called a method actor ?

[@Bob-fj7lr]

So cool that he had so much to say about the rap part. Really surprised there was so much depth to it

[@Stereotype23]

Kendall is like a comedic character who thinks he is in a drama - or perhaps the other way around. It's interesting how Succession can merge multiple genres into the same show without alienating the audience.

[@jackjackthompson5771]

Wow looking great Jenelle, good for you!

[@royalty5114]

I feel sorry for Kendell. I have to watch interviews to remember he is not the character.

why is minute 25 the most replayed of this vid? I did it too, but i can't imagine my reason being everyone else's

[@Christian-ui2vb]

Did Jeremy strong actually kill that kid? He talks about walking into the family like he was genuinely guilty for killing their son

[@robertr798]

He didn't literally kill him, but it was his addiction that is the reason they were both in the car. And he also didn't flag down help when he had the chance. He hid the deed until it became clear that Logan was ahead of him.

[@mrb4761]

They should name the font after him absolutely - L to the OG Jeremy

[@daze.d5462]

The rap was so good.

[@TTM9691]

Great interview; I have been seeing that this guy has been somewhat maligned for his process. Screw them. Whatever it takes to get to that end result - which, in this case, is excellent - is fine by me.

Brilliant actor

[@robkirchhof133]

Jeremy Strong, i reckon you're probably gonna read this. Well done! It was wonderful to see you make this weird character real. Now, you can go back to being a real human being.
