Did we discuss how annoyed Matthew McFayden was at having to talk about him?

[avingnon]

I totally missed this, what happened?

Macfadyen does have a very British approach to acting that doesn’t require him to marinate in his own wellsprings of emotion and experience. When I bring up The New Yorker’s Jeremy Strong profile, which portrayed the actor as someone who stays inside the bubble of his suffering character while others decompress between takes, it’s the one time in our nearly three-hour conversation that Macfadyen gets visibly irritated. “I find it slightly aggravating because-it makes [the show] about one thing, and it’s an ensemble piece,” he says of the article, noting the costars who play Gerri and Connor. “You think of J. Smith-Cameron and Alan Ruck, who are fucking extraordinary actors. [Strong] is not the main event

Is he the dude who’s always complaining and looking miserable or I’m I thinking of someone else

[hiimtish]

No he’s just one that’s very committed to his “craft” to the point that his castmates were very worried about him.

[therearewords]

Oh, no.

I do not understand why people crank themselves so hard over this dude. Although him bankrupting his theater dept bc he wanted to meet Al Pacino or whatever is till pretty funny.

Kyrsten Sinema's entry was written by Lisa Murkowsi bc of course it is.

Tbh it’s funny with the context too, bc Kendall isn’t like a solely angst character. He’s also awkward and lame and cringe!

I do think he’s very talented but I feel badly for the people who have to deal with him on set. His character on Succession has deep issues and if he stays in that mind space / character even when the cameras are off, lord lol.
