lesson learned : be upfront and take the initiative

[@fredogodofredo8049]

Yeah men

[@TokyoKazama]

He's literally the perfect guy for that role

[@mdjahiralimondal]

​@@fredogodofredo8049Pray for us n me ❤️🙂

[@Tariqt4]

Yesss

[@ADenton]

💯 %

[@mangos2888]

I cannot see him as anyone else. Good call, Kieran!

[@jonathankvech8478]

Kind of a Roman move tbh

[@mrkeogh]

"Yeah, so, uh, fuck your casting? I'm your Roman. End of. Send the others home now, dickwad."

[@liz.aventurine]

Absolutely born for the part 🙂‍↕️

[@Killer-Qu33n]

He’s so talented, his character is so believable. He subtly portrays the jaded little brother, smart, mean, hilarious sexually inept, looks like he bites his nails. He’s one of my favorite characters on the show.

[@DocRunaway]

He does a good job but essentially he's playing himself.

[@Penguinverse]

@@DocRunaway not really lol

[@DocRunaway]

@@Penguinverse yes really lol.

[@TonyEgg93]

I don't think I've ever seen such a perfect cast in a drama before. Outstanding.

[@phonzyyy7753]

Almost agreed, watch Andor tho That cast is even greater than in Peaky Blinders, Game of Thrones and Chernobyl...

[@xensonar9652]

He's so perfect for the role that it often seems like he's creating the character himself in the moment.

[@syedsaqlainali5125]

Roman's character is truly just kieran being talented and intelligent, this character cant be written on paper.

[@sonishkumar7327]

crazy part is i cant possibly imagine anyone else playing Roman but also that he wouldve potrayed cousin greg with absolute perfection

[@creolekarli.]

He was the entire show!!! Loved this role for him!

[@nonadeplume1145]

No one else could have been the Slime Puppy.

[@deezuschrist9794]

He enjoys being the puppy lol

[@letroces]

He knew. He knew he was Roman.

[@shemitch]

And he's perfect for Roman.

[@vhs3760]

and history was made!

[@uzairahmed1113]

he is the roman

[@FrankCruzFilms]

Bruh…Kieran Culkin IS Roman Roy. Like it was written for him! He was absolutely brilliant in that role.

[@antonystark3303]

and he just killed it in that role..hands down.

[@CarolynArmstrong-x5w]

I am so glad that he did send in audition tapes for Roman. He was incredible! Besides Kendall, he was my favorite character. And that’s saying something because all of the characters were stellar.

[@greicorolle344]

One of the best shows ever

[@mrkeogh]

It's the mark of a good actor to know what roles you aren't suited for, but find something in the script you can get your teeth into. And persist till you get it.

[@nurseaylla]

He has such a cool funny personality 😂😂😂😂😂😂 hope he wins Emmy and Golden globe for the final season

[@VivianaEB]

He's such a joy to watch

[@Derekivery]

I would love to see who they were thinking of for Roman, because I legit can't imagine anyone else in that role.

[@DPedro3]

Good thing he did it. Kieran and Nicholas were perfect for Roman and Greg

[@SuzanneRobertsvo]

SOOOO Roman!! the best Slime Puppy ever. Those puppy dogs eyes at the end of Season 3.. I'm hooked!!! lol

[@mmafiemc]

I play this game constantly especially with other shows trying to work out who they auditioned for 😅

[@mmafiemc]

But no one would watch this show without Romulis

[@unmagicalmushroom]

his character is so close to his actual personality that it feels like he’s still playing roman

[@ghostghost266]

He is truly BRILLIANT

[@riannevandam1355]

Best show ever! What an absolute outstanding cast, so so talented. A bunch of people you should hate because of what they represent but you end up loving them. I miss them, really!

[@TrulyS2345]

Imagine him being greg 😂

[@melissadobosz5386]

Miss this show

[@driano359]

Bro acted so perfect as Roman that I think Roman is part of him now. A genius acting.

[@wisewoman5245]

I love his character!!!

[@hectorbernier7955]

He gets the Roman actitud. That’s why his role was so brilliant.

[@sourabhkarmakar8040]

Can't believe this is Fuller from Home Alone 😂

[@nattypns2334]

Such like He’s born for this role.

[@yasirkhalid7788]

He is Roman in real life lol! He doesn’t act at all, he basically played himself. He was great tho!

[@angelcitystudio]

Greg was perfectly cast as well.

[@SonicFan-z7c]

I love wallace

[@alexman378]

It’s really strange to see what the original casting process looked like when you see what they ended up with. Strong was supposed to audition for Roman. Like… when you see what those characters are like, what were they even thinking?

[@doreenalexander1670]

Jimmy sounds hammered.

[@moviesseriesanimes3178]

Roman was my favorite character 😂😂❤️

[@jm78593]

Enjoying himself while his brother is home alone

[@nura1627]

Well he was already an expert at being a baby brother.

[@margaritaaguirre1319]

Me encanta Roman. No sabía si la voz era su personaje pero veo q es la misma. Loquito simpático

[@ld220]

Amazing!

[@nicolasdiez7688]

Can't believe he is the kid who played Fuler in Home Alone

[@susanabritos317]

Nop,his brother did😂

[@soapbokki]

@@susanabritos317no he played fuller, his brother was kevin 😀

[@CollinGill7]

“IWANATALBOUT..succession”

[@irmacello]

He is AMAZING ❤

[@pinkwakabeagle]

Roman could not have be en played by anyone else. I'm so glad kieran got the Roman role

[@SpaztasticSheep]

And thank god he did

[@Bob-fj7lr]

When I first saw this character I actually had to double take because I thought they had cast macaulay culkin. I didn't realize it was his brother holy shit

[@mymoonams]

Awesome!

[@MasterJoeda_]

Couldn't imagine roman being a different roman but more so Greg being a different Greg. Greg was my favorite character throughout the series. #DisgustingBrotherzzz

[@maryjanedodo]

I cannot imagine any other actor as Roman

[@chanelcreating]

Ugh yessss

[@smanvir94]

Romulus

[@jessicapoota513]

Love him ❤

[@nathanmetus2989]

Legend.

[@Fleyk1707]

Ah, Roman. My favourite mosquito man.

[@BairMendoza]

Literally no one else could play Ro.

[@mertylmaz9549]

Why Roman in talkshow?

[@katrinas2752]

He’s a perfect Roman!

[@horuslupercal9936]

Worst interviewer in the history of TV.

[@effortmsimelelo5059]

And the rest is history

[@amandabonanza]

He is a perfect Roman!

I really don't care about who plays Ronan! But I don't want anyone else to be cousin Greg!

[@HusseinDoha]

Very ill fitted suit!!

[@nura1627]

Vaushite? Agreed, regardless.

[@lyolevrich]

more like an impersonation than acting….what a disappointment

[@ivanacvetanovic7611]

Impersonation of who?

[@caseycaffrey4719]

@@ivanacvetanovic7611Maybe the person means he’s impersonating Roman Roy? I don’t think that he’s real tho 😅
