Missing Kieran Culkin's witty portrayal of Roman Roy in ‘Succession’? Here's where you can catch him next

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It’s a day of grieving for ‘Succession’ fans around the globe as they bid goodbye to their beloved show once and for all. The journey is complete and the characters have left an indelible mark on TV with their performances. Be it Brian Cox’s loud-mouthed Logan Roy or Jeremy Strong’s messy yet sometimes domineering Kendall Roy, the show has given us characters to remember for ages. Among these characters is Roman Roy, Logan's middle child who is known for his delusional personality and fast lip service that includes some of the wittiest lines ever.

Roman is played by Kieran Culkin, an alma mater of the School of American Ballet in New York City. His brother is 'Home Alone' star Macaulay. Culkin's portrayal of Roman has earned him two Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. His ability to capture the essence of Roman’s insecurity has been lauded by critics all along. For now, his journey with ‘Succession’ may have ended but Culkin is all set to dive into a new international project to capitalize on his newfound fame.
