    Jeremy might be a serious guy, but seems like a real genuine good guy. Thanks for a great character and show.
  • @cerealkiillar
    Jeremy Strong is such an incredibly generous human being. I look for him in films, now, where I may have missed him in secondary roles as well as in staring roles. He's just so brilliant.
  • @AA-qb7ni
    Still not over that ending. One of the greatest actors of our time. Can't wait to see what he masters next.
  • I really respect Jeremy's devotion to whatever he is doing. He embodies the character to a degree even other actors might find weird, but that's because he doesn't believe in half measures. He was given a role, and he becomes the role. As simple as that

    A show like Succession keeps you on the edge of your seat, Intense acting
  • @NM-hq1io
    10/10 performance - thank you Jeremy, just breathtaking stuff
  • @danielastefan7274
    Jeremy is one of those fewest and finest actors that have created a character who would go down in TV history as, like he is saying in this interview, some of the most tragic anti-heroes. Other examples are Tony Soprano or Walter White. "Disaster in slow motion" is a very, very accurate description for Kendall. I don't know from where he managed to access the emotional resources to play such a difficult character, but he was just amazing. He was amazing throughout 4 seasons. Hats off!

    Yea man that ending made sense, dramaturgically. But for real, his performance will go down as one of the best in tv history.

    Jeremy Strong is a fantastic actor. I love watching his work. He’s seems like a very genuine person. What a great interview!!! ❤
  • Bravo! Jeremy Strong. I have come to love Kendall Roy and I was pulling for him to finally succeed, to be that "cog" that only fits one machine.
  • I adore him. I love his earnestness, how he takes things seriously, and loves books and art, but has such a gentle vibe.
  • @Suuusan28
    Jeremy Strong was revelation to me. Kendall Roy is one of the most difficult characters ever. He is believable in all shades of Kendall, everything happpens on his face or even in his eyes. Absolute brilliance!
  • @johnegan9521
    Jeremy’s versatility is amazing. From The big short to The Gentleman and to Succession crazy character differences (for example) is extraordinary

    i'm rooting for Jeremy Strong future projects and Oscar winning someday 💯
