Spec Ops: The Line Synopsis Captain Martin Walker is sent in as a leader of a three man recon team into a post disaster Dubai.

Heavy Rain Synopsis The day after celebrating his son Jason's tenth birthday, Ethan Mars and his family go shopping. Jason and Ethan are hit by a car; Jason dies, and Ethan falls into a six-month coma. After he wakes from the coma, Ethan, blaming himself for Jason's death, divorces his wife Grace and moves into a small suburban house while experiencing mental trauma and blackouts. Two years later, while at the park with his other son Shaun, Ethan blacks out. When he wakes up, he discovers that Shaun has been kidnapped by the "Origami Killer", a serial killer whose modus operandi consists of abducting young boys during the fall season, drowning them in rainwater, and leaving an orchid on their chests and an origami figure nearby. Norman Jayden an FBI profiler struggling with addiction to a drug called Triptocaine, investigates the death of another Origami victim and concludes that he died the same day as a violent rainstorm, which flooded the cell where he was kept. Based on weather patterns, he estimates that Shaun has only three days to live.

Lol, interesting idea, but poor execution. They should have hammed it up some more. 😆

[@JWickyJr13]

Good god I want to see a scene swap with Roman and Kendall.

[@shalinimohan6975]

yes!! @hbo get on it

[@freem8son86]

Seeing as Jeremy Strong was initially trying to get the part of Roman that would be so perfect

[@the-doubting-thomas62]

@hbo plsss

[@ib.2995]

Yeeeash hahahahaha

[@tehreeem]

I SECOND THIS

[@lakshmi4224]

this seems like a good opportunity to remind everyone that Connor Roy was interested in politics at a young age.

[@oof-rr5nf]

[@oases738]

Matthew basically did his version of Tom any time he talks to Logan

[@dddgtsd]

yeah I thought that, Matthew was still just Tom but Braun really brought his A Game - he's clearly scared of being typecast and was like right lets show everyone what I can do.

[@mothwench]

I can't tell if this was a typo and you maybe meant his version of Greg bc to me the genius is Tom sounds just like Greg when he talks to Logan, Shiv or anyone with power over him, hence why he needs Greg to abuse for his chance to be the confident one

[@dddgtsd]

@@mothwench that's what Oases meant. He's saying when Matthew was impersonating Greg he sounded just like his own character (Tom) when he talks to anyone of a higher social status - which is what you're also saying right? It's such a great character (Tom) and must be so much fun to play someone who is both a wannabe alpha and willing beta.

[@mothwench]

@@dddgtsd OH I get it they meant in this video. I was confused but still had a feeling we were all on the same page lol

[@mangata8674]

Or when he talks to early season Shiv

[@lnfreeman]

Nicolas actually embodied Matthew. The "Grag," the jaw movements, the eye contact, the seductive poise. I WAS NOT READY

[@krisrhodes5180]

Right?! There were just flashes but at several points his face muscles just kind of morphed into Tom. Acting is magic I swear.

[@brunonavarrete4008]

The Congress bit, just fire

[@PrestigeLearning]

I thought it was even better … Nicolas showing us HIS version of Tom, and in the process maybe … MAYBE … showing us the real Greg under the klutzy veneer. FYI, I came back to this clip after season 4, episode 8, where we DO see “evil Greg” peek out after he SPOILER WARNING … rats out Shiv to Kendall.

[@jamesrosewell9081]

Seductive?

[@nerosporus]

matthew cannot take greg's role seriously at all (lmao) but nick is surprisingly good? i hope he escapes his typecast someday because if he puts his mind into it he could play a really cool antagonist! or just an eviler version of greg lol they always have so much fun together i hope this isn't the last project w this duo

[@lepythagore3288]

Tbh like nick is grinning all the time, "surprisingly good" is a stretch in my opinion

[@nerosporus]

@@lepythagore3288 idk i think he did pretty good! they are both trying (and failing in matthew's case) to not laugh so i think it wasn't bad lol I expected him to sound way more silly with tom's lines

[@tokyojake1223]

Nicholas Braun is a good actor & I hope he doesn’t get typecast as well bc he has a lot of potential there to unlock

[@boobysr]

He reminded me of tyrell wellick from mr robot. I was surprised at his intensity

[@SpookLuc]

hold your breath on eviler version of greg, who knows we may very well get that in the coming weeks with S4

[@knithearts]

nicholas was actually so good, but it was so funny seeing matthew macfayden try to be awkward 💀💀

[@ivylin5960]

Nicholas makes his "Tom" more of an overt sociopath and creepier. I like it.

[@TrulyMademoizelle]

Matthews switch between his British accent and Tom/Greg is nothing short of flawless.

[@derekcarney]

I was floored the first time I heard his real voice. He's the most convincing Brit doing American English ever.

[@aimeekatz]

You know, everyone was clowning on Nick's Emmy nomination for s3, but I think this really proved that the aloof, charming awkwardness he brings to Greg is *not* easy to do.

[@janine2957]

they were clowning him?? god ppl never appreciate fun characters, either you are playing the most disturbed person ever or you are not worth of a nomination i guess

[@damazywlodarczyk]

nobody was clowning anybody, you're making stuff up, people love this series and this character

[@aimeekatz]

@@damazywlodarczyk No I know, of course they do! There's just also a rather large subset of the fanbase, especially on twitter, who I've seen call him a bad actor etc. Not making anything up :)

[@sebastianventura4964]

Seeing this you realize that acting as Greg is really hard, that nervousness is so hard to convey to people

[@AnnieKhurana]

Nicholas does such an excellent Tom impression🔥

[@ggiuliacosta]

such a good acting by Nick! I'm impressed! He got so serious ._. it's awesome

[@josiahgolson9262]

He does! It looks like he's been waiting to step into Tom's shoes for a while 😂

[@tarunmood]

He Embodies

i love this so much literally providing us top tier promo

[@blackdateline1996]

Riiiight got me debating a watch party for the premiere

[@firstnamelastname6202]

Nicholas was actually so good at delivering Tom's dialogue, damn. He should get to play an actual villain at some point

[@ldsdudeinca]

What came out of this, was that I REALLY want to see an evil Greg come out of this.

[@ccgerrity]

It seems like a logical next step, right?

[@melodyal3357]

😂😂😂me too😂🙌💯

[@ididgt4259]

Are ya happy?

[@TheOpsMgr]

"Dark Greg" is the meme we all need in these troubled times...

[@armandobravo7984]

I think we will see that "evil" Greg at the end of season 4... And i emphasize "evil" meaning the REAL Greg!

[@AlexMaione07041863]

Dude. Somehow them swapping makes you realize how well the scene is acted out to their personalities in the show.

[@ReeIndeed]

damn Nicholas was Not joking when he said he'd embody Tom

[@dielaughing73]

He sure said it with conviction

[@elprofecambron]

Matthew's voice is so calming, these two guys should definitely have their own tv series.

[@CaffeineAndMylanta]

They do, it’s called Succession 🙃

[@leocheung2547]

New Succession spin-off: the Disgusting Brothers!

[@smichelle65]

It's so funny that they still need to consult the script, while most of us can recite this entire scene in our sleep.

[@llimettime]

Funny in a sad way

[@smichelle65]

@@llimettime Yeah, I admit

[@Davidsworldtravels]

They have to remember dozens of insane dialogues like this on a regular basis. It’s reasonable they need to read the thing again to remember it after all that.

[@stacyannhayles]

Nicholas Braun BODIED that. The man is an actor.

[@BrooklynHudson]

They have the best chemistry between them. I think, as much as I love the entire show, I mostly watch just waiting for their scenes together.

[@94dfk1]

Matthew played Greg as a more happy-go-luck guy with just a hint of the awkwardness, whereas Nicholas showed Toms’ menace more directly.

[@shellsilvers]

It's crazy that macfadyen is the mvp actor of succession but even he can't play greg right, while braun is pretty good as tom, greg has a very specific personality that's hard to pull off

[@davidbkopp]

These two are my favorite onscreen romance of all time.

[@kasturipaul90s]

I was smiling throughout this video so hard, my face pains. 🙂✨️

[@jesster816]

The way he flip flops in and out of this accent is insane! Very few Brits do a non hyper regional American accent so well and so fluidly

[@playlistkiddo5654]

Nicholas Braun understood the assignment😂😂😂

[@neptunehenriksen]

Things like this really remind me that their chemistry is just electric, in isolation it really shows.

[@dlara4881]

This is the best scene in the entire history of TV

[@lauriesica]

Wow seeing them swap roles shows how perfectly they were cast. No one else can be Greg. That's difficult to pull off convincingly.

[@MarsaAndari]

This is the best thing I've watched today. Day made.

[@jacklav1]

Nicholas Braun smashed it out of the park. They should have given him both parts.

[@NikHem343]

This is actually a great demonstration for how important casting is

[@wy4553]

Matthew definitely needed to crank up the awkwardness, but Nicholas really did embody Tom!

[@mimiarnn]

Matthew was really trying not to laugh the whole time 💀

[@marcestarriola1504]

This actually proves that the scripts are great

[@quicctrips]

Tom and Greg are by far and away my favorite part of this show. SO good.

[@halloween42]

1:40 omg that was so good tho??

[@methodosis]

I think this just solidified for me how important writing is when coming up with dialogue for each character, making it believable and playing to the strengths of the actors.

[@arvindarya4136]

If you want a recap here is it, Connor Roy was interested in politics from a very young age and He is the eldest son.

[@annkey4091]

I would like to hope that these two remain friends outside of this series. I think that they could do a standup comedy roadshow.

[@smichelle65]

They're extremely close; I'm sure they'll visit each other from time to time. Braun's in talks to do a play in England either later this year or next.

[@arghandewal]

Tom is drawn to Greg because he IS Greg. And Greg is a Tom in Greg's clothing. No wonder they can play each other so well.

[@sailormari_]

Nicholas was triying so hard omg

[@joaomiguelferreira4281]

Good reminder that other than the amazing script and photography, this show also has an absolute perfect casting. Each actor has embodied the characters so perfectly that even off camera they resemble them

[@stephenobisanya]

It’s interesting how the swap really reveals just how brilliant they both are in their own roles!

[@zijunli1497]

[@deadlypalms]

These two are just the best. They have some of the funniest lines in the show - the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of Succession.

[@barakasalumu657]

Blessing us with ALLLL the content in time for season four !!!

[@faesoul]

nicholas is impressive. more serious roles for him please! ✨

[@codyallen43]

This scene is even more incredible after seeing the series finale.

[@angelagibson9125]

Nick would play the perfect Clark Kent. The way he goes into a whole different level of awkwardness and it’s almost unrecognizable. Amazing.

[@danielflorencio]

That's why casting directors are important.

[@alicewonder40]

Even if succession ends, I REALLY want to see a TomGreg spinoff cause' that story would be SOOO interesting and these two would absolutely kill it!!!

OMGGGGGGG Matthew Macfadyen is exceptional, and these two together STOLE the show, BRAVO Nic as well.

[@jamalmcdaniel3339]

Nicholas actually did good

[@fullercorp]

This shows how adept and gifted they both are at 'embodying' their actual roles. Not just reading lines- which is what some cynics think acting is. Boo souls!

[@Youngcasamigos]

Even in laughter, macfadyen can’t help but make the words come alive. Braun is awesome too - but he’s in the presence of greatness.

[@marshmelows]

Nicholas NAILED it!!

[@calum.macleod]

It's funny. The components of Succession look like "the whole". Great cast, cinematography, an amazing Britell score, locations and of course the dialogue. But here we can see that these two excellent actors such at each others roles. So we should add casting to the list. I am sure that so many different people and talents have gone into this and as viewers we only see the end result. A chain is as strong as its weakest link, this chain is so strong and it has so many links. I feel grateful to experience this masterpiece.

[@lepythagore3288]

Literally every main actor on the show is scene stealing. I'm not even that invested in the show but the amount of talent in it is truly insane

[@vickybeee2507]

yes agree with this so wholeheartedly! not a single person on this show is dropping the ball

[@vasvas8914]

Yes, all roles look like tailor-made spwcifically for these actors

[@エラー-e7v]

[@syedsaqlainali5125]

Nicholas Braun is too intelligent and a brilliant actor. I dont think any writer can write those awkwardness on paper which he creates. And as a fellow awkward person I can relate to those.

[@ahmedzanetti]

The real succession's MVPs

[@osmoticmonk]

i think matthew is finally realizing how much fun it must be for nicholas to play the ever bumbling, somehow-manages-to-win Greg

[@Swameh]

Only just finished binging Succession and this was one of my favorite scenes. Absolutely brilliant choice 😂❤

[@CarlosCasanova9]

these two are so good they mustve had so much fun filming scenes together

[@mastpg]

Please, please, please announce a "Tom & Greg" spinoff show. A pitch black buddy comedy...who wouldn't want this?

[@TheOpsMgr]

Opening scene - Tom (Or Greg) is sitting on the bonnet of an old car outside the gates of a "Club Fed" prison. The gates open, revealing Greg (or Tom) walking out of prison dressed in the sharp suit he was arrested in, with the rest of his meagre belongings in a polythene bag. They embrace in an awkward back thumping masculine way, with Tom (Or Greg) saying "I told you I wouldn't let you down. So... fancy a road trip. I aint got anywhere to be anymore...". Greg (or Tom) just nods, overcome with emotion. End scene with a screech of tyres as the car heads off down the winding country road. Roll opening credits. Title card for "Egression" rolls up the screen.

[@kpwand]

Greg is perfectly cast and Matthew M is a brilliant actor

[@beanexmachina5833]

Not that it's a competition but Nicholas absolutely bodies Matthew here

[@AskMiko]

Nicholas Braun’s innocence made this fun to watch 🎉

[@ChrizzeeB]

I was expecting Matthew to be incredible, and Nick to underperform. Basically because Nick talks just like Gregg in real life, whilst Matthew has done a diversity of theatrical roles. However! Nock was excellent here, and Matthew couldn't really take it seriously

[@youtubemom497]

The casting for this show was absolutely flawless! I can’t imagine any other actors in any of the roles. The writing ,the camera angles ,the music…everything is perfection. I will have to rewatch this when it’s over cause I will be sad.

[@tenetennba6529]

It's like Matthew went for a younger version of Tom. Like how Tom was when he was starting out in a lower position like Greg.
