Strong is not by any means ungrateful for the award-winning HBO hit. “That show was an incalculable gift. The material a banquet. So I miss that,” he explains, “But Kendall’s struggle was difficult to carry for seven years. And there’s just so much more I want to do.”

Reflecting on the series, which concluded in 2023, Strong acknowledged it as a pivotal chapter in his life but emphasized that he doesn’t miss playing Kendall, saying, “There’s just so much more I want to do.” His sentiments echo earlier comments where he suggested that the show had been “put to rest” and he wasn’t interested in reprising his role.

So much for his methods. “Succession” star Jeremy Strong, 45, who infamously got criticized by his own on-screen dad for his method acting, is opening up about how playing Kendall Roy left a brutal impact.
