or perched on the arm of the chair. What is it about the character that he has prowling physicality? “I don’t know, I try not to ana- lyse it. I could probably give some clever answer here, but I don’t know what the hell that is. Maybe when the show is over, I can start figur- ing it out and talking about why he has that energy.” Is that you, or is that in the script? “The physicality is us, I think. It’s not usually written, or there’s not too much direc- tion. There’s a lot of freedom when it comes to the blocking of scenes. I don’t really prepare where I’m gonna sit or stand, or any of that stuff, because I don’t know what the room will look like yet, or what the other actors are doing. We have very limited time to rehearse, because there’s so much to cram into a day. We walk in, you kind of just rehearse it once and then it’s ‘OK, get the cameras up’, then we shoot it. It just happens so fast. So, you’re stuck with go- ing with your first instincts a lot of the time.”
“Hahaha! That’s a pretty good assessment there, I’ve got to say! I don’t know how to elaborate on that one.” How are those scenes to film with J. Smith-Cam- eron? “I love working with J. She’s one of my favourites ever to work with. We were friends for years be- fore we started doing Succession. And just to have that bond and re- spect with someone is really help- ful. She’s incredibly talented and al- ways just fantastic. So, knowing I have a scene partner that I can trust, that’s a friend and likes to play like me, is just fantastic.” What’s it like being on the end of Brian-as-Logan’s volcanic rage? “God, he’s fantastic! And when there are these outbursts that Logan has, I don’t have to make any effort to come up with some kind of reac- tion or wonder what Roman thinks of it. It’s just dad shouting! He can be quite an intimidating presence…” Roman has a thing where he enters a room and never just sits down. He’s hang- ing off the bannister, or looking out the window,
– Ne znam, trudim se da to ne analiziram. Verovatno bih mogao da dam neki pametan odgovor, ali ne znam šta je to, dođavola! Možda ću tek kad se serija završi početi da shvatam zašto ima takvu energiju. Da li ste to vi ili je napisa- no u scenariju? – Obično to nije napisano ili nema previše uputstava. Postoji mnogo slobode kada je reč o sce- nama. Zaista se ne pripremam gde cu sedeti ili stajati, ili bilo šta od toga, jer ne znam kako so- ba izgleda, niti šta drugi glumci rade. Smešno je jer imamo veo- ma ograničeno vreme za probe, ima toliko toga da se ugura u je- dan dan. Mi uđemo posle samo kratke probe i već čujemo – OK, podignite kamere, a onda snima- mo. Sve se dešava tako brzo. Da- kle, često ste prepušteni svom instinktu.
