Succession: the actors and actresses, then and now

The popular series 'Succession' is coming to a close. At the 2022 Golden Globes, its third season won three major awards. One of them was for Sarah Snook as Best Supporting Actress. Here we see the Australian star, born in 1987, on the red carpet a few years ago.

Sarah Snook has quickly become a television and style icon, with fans claiming that her way of walking should be considered a World Wonder. Over the course of the Australian actress' career, none of her roles have been so famous as that of Shiv Roy.

Jeremy Strong was born in Boston on Christmas Day 1978 and would become an outstanding actor. At the 2022 Golden Globes, he won the award for Best Actor in 'Succession.' This photo is from 2008, at the premiere of 'The Happening'.

Among Strong's great works in film, theater and TV are the series 'Masters of Sex', 'The Good Wife' and 'Mob City'; the movies 'Detroit', 'The Trial of the Chicago 7' and 'The Big Short'; and the play 'A Man for All Seasons'. Currently he's obviously in the spotlights for his indecipherable Kendall Roy in 'Succession.'

As a whole, 'Succession' won the Golden Globe for Best TV Drama series. The HBO production has four very successful seasons. Who are the other cast members besides Sarah Snook and Jeremy Strong, and where were they before 'Succession'?

Scottish by birth, in June 1945, Brian Cox is the cornerstone of 'Succession.' He's also the cast member with the most impressive filmography. This photo is from 2002, at a press conference for 'The Bourne Identity.'

'Armageddon', 'Troy' and the 'Bourne' franchise are among his most prominent titles. The actor won a Primetime Emmy in 2001 for 'Nuremberg' and a Golden Globe in 2020 for 'Succession.'

He debuted with his brother Macaulay in the legendary movie 'Home Alone', where he played his cousin Fuller. Since then, this New Yorker (born in September 1982) has worked on interesting but rare titles. This photo is from 1990, of the two best known Culkin brothers.

'Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World' and 'Fargo' the series have been two of his most notable titles. However, Roman Roy gave Kieran Culkin television glory and he eventually surpassed the other Culkin in terms of fame.

In 2005 he played Fitzwilliam Darcy in 'Pride and Prejudice', where his chemistry with Keira Knightley was absolute. Born in Norfolk (UK) in 1974, Matthew Macfadyen has appeared on the big and small screen since the turn of the century. This photo is from the premiere of 'The Three Musketeers', in 2011.

Nerdy, creepy, selfish but extremely intelligent. Tom Wambsgans has emerged as the great strategist of 'Succession' and crowned Matthew Macfayden as one of the great protagonists of the series.

Born in 1988, this New Yorker is the youngest member of the cast. Yet, he has two decades of acting experience already - much of it in teenage films such as 'Princess Protection Program' and 'Sky High.' The photo is from 2011, at the presentation of 'Red State.'

He plays Greg Hirsch in 'Succession,' where he is the perfect cast with his lanky looks, 6'5ft (201cm) height and clueless demeanor. Greg has become essential in 'Succession's plot of betrayals and negotiations.

Born in July 1956, this actor from Ohio has seen some of the best series on television. 'Psych', 'CSI', 'NCIS', 'Eureka' are just a few examples. Of course, these were mostly on an episodic basis. In the photo, from 1999, Alan Ruck celebrates the start of the fourth season of 'Spin City', where he gave life to Stewart Bondeck for 140 episodes.

Who knew that Alan Ruck, who made his acting debut in 'Bad Boys' in 1983, would have his greatest success after 40 years? Connor Roy went from an almost secondary character to a central figure in the Waystar Royco plot.

Adrien Brody has a well-deserved Oscar for Best Actor for 'The Pianist' in 2002. This photo is from that year. Since then, his career has had its ups and downs, with moments of light such as his appearance in two episodes of 'Succession.'

He was born in New York in 1973 and plays an important shareholder of Waystar Royco in 'Succession.' He also recently starred in the series 'Peaky Blinders' and the movie 'The French Dispatch.' Adrien Brody's work continues to be varied and interesting.

This Iranian actor, born in 1980, went through many notable series before reaching 'Succession'. Among them are 'Believe', 'Law and Order' and 'Madame Secretary'. In this 2011 photo Arian Moayed sports a mustache.

His Stewy is the perfect sample of what 'Succession' is: business above friendship and loyalty, money above everything. Arian Moayed has appeared in 15 episodes of the series so far.

'Terra Nova', 'Masters of Sex' and 'Designated Survivor' are some of the series that this Californian star has gone through. He was born in 1983, and this photo is from 2009, at the presentation of the Australian series 'Rush.'

Nate Sofrelli, his character in 'Succession', went from lover to co-worker and then to intimate enemy. Each of his 10 episodes is a rollercoaster.

This New Yorker (1949) is a veteran who began in 1972 on Broadway. Since then, he has participated in series like 'Miami Vice,' 'Brooklyn Bridge,' and 'The Affair,' or in movies like 'I'm not there' and 'Love and Other Drugs.' Between 1990 and 2002 he was married to Joan Allen. This photo is from 1988.

Frank Vernon is one of Logan Roy's trusted associates, though he's been in and out of the company.

The Israeli actress and director was born in 1960 and became famous for her role in 'Red Satin'. The photo is from the Cannes Film Festival in 2005.

Marcia Roy is one of the most enigmatic, imposing and interesting characters in 'Succession'. Contained to the utmost limits, she makes each scene a majestic exercise in constriction.

Holly Hunter (1958) is a star actress with three Oscar nominations and a win for 'The Piano' (1994). She also played in the series 'Saving Grace' and 'Top of the Lake'. This photo is from 1998.

Holly Hunter's Rhea Jarreal is very much like Logan Roy. At some point, she was the president of Waystar Royco.

Many of the cast of 'Succession' have coincided in several series before meeting again in the HBO production. J. Smith-Cameron, a native of Louisville (1957) appeared in 'Spin City', 'Madame Secretary' and 'Divorce'. This photo is from the 2011 presentation of 'Sister Act' on Broadway.

Her Gerri Kellman is one of the most cunning characters in the series. Without making noise, she knows how to lay her cards and influence the course of the company. Her relationship with Roman is as strange as it is hypnotic.

Since 2011, this actress from Denver (1989) has made occasional appearances in series such as 'Bull', 'Madame Secretary', 'Shameless' and 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel'. This photo is from 2012.

Willa is a haunting character. She does not have an opinion or take a position but nevertheless she finds out about everything. At the side of Connor Roy, who will never love anyone the way he loves himself, she has the opportunity to completely change the narrative of the couple.
