Kieran Culkin & Jeremy Strong Almost Played Different Characters on ‘Succession’

The casting of Succession was a careful process. They needed established actors, people capable of taking on characters who think of themselves as serious while presenting plenty of comedic farce to the viewer. Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Strong were both up to the task of landing jobs on the Peep Show creator Jesse Armstrong’s daring new drama.

Armstrong and producer Adam McKay knew early that both Culkin and Strong had the right stuff for the show. But what they didn’t know was which actor would take best to which character. And it almost didn’t go the way viewers are now so deeply familiar with.
