Sarah Snook was skeptical when she was approached about playing Shiv in 'Succession.' But it turned out to be misplaced — she's become an integral part of the series. When she found it was ending: 'I felt a huge sense of loss, disappointment and sadness.'
,” delivering an audacious performance as an intersex character who lives first as a woman, then a man. Snook’s male persona — who bore an uncanny resemblance to, as she put it, Leonardo DiCaprio’s “less attractive brother” — was so convincing, her own mother didn’t recognize her on set.
“Suddenly, you go from thinking, ‘Oh my God, will there be anyone?’ to ‘Oh my God, I hope she hasn’t gotten any offers,’” Armstrong recalled by phone during a break from editing “Succession.” “She was the only person in the world who could do all these things at once.” Snook’s abilities as a performer enabled such a dramatic character arc, Armstrong said. “The abiding feeling you have as a writer is the incredible confidence that you can go anywhere, any level of emotional complexity, and not only will Sarah match it, but she will add on three of her own layers as well,” he said.
In the scene, “you feel an earthquake of a power shift,” Armstrong said. “It’s like someone opened the door to a whole rather horrible set of rooms they didn’t know existed, one where the power balance in her personal relationship is thrown completely askew“ — all of which played on Snook’s face. Though its ratings are modest, “Succession” has come to dominate the cultural conversation since its debut in 2018 because of how shrewdly it skewers the billionaire class. But because the pandemic kept the show off the air for two years, Snook said that she has only recently become “aware of the noise” around it. This attention is especially pronounced in certain neighborhoods in New York, like the Upper East Side, where she tends to get recognized more.
