Succession might’ve looked a lot various.
On the HBO dramedy, Kieran Culkin plays media magnate Logan Roy’s youngest kid, the lazy, entitled and typically sneering RomanRoy But casting directors initially had a various function for the star in mind.
“They wanted me to read for Cousin Greg,” Culkin, 39, stated in an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Friday,Nov 5, “which I just didn’t feel right for.”
He continued, “They asked me to read for Greg. I knew I was wrong…normally, in any other script, I would be like, ‘OK, I’m not right for the part, I’m going to close it, I’m going to continue reading on,’ but I just kind of liked the script, so I read on, I was like, ‘Oh, there’s this guy,’ whose first line is something I can’t say on your show.”
Culkin then altered his mind, stating, “He states, ‘Hey, hey, motherf– kers,’ and I believed, well, I type of like this person. I like the method he talks. I can do that“
