Succession's Kieran Culkin breaks down the behind-the-scenes dynamics of his onscreen family
The Catcher in the Rye. Written and directed by Burr Steers, the film — which has grown in admiration since its original release — follows the misadventures of a sarcastic prep school dropout surrounded by obscenely rich, affection-withholding relatives who summer in the Hamptons.
Culkin draws from all of his siblings when conjuring up Roman’s rhythms — but particularly Dakota, aka Cody, the sister whose life was cut short by a car accident while crossing Lincoln Boulevard in Marina del Rey in 2008. She was 30. “Cody was funny, man,” he says. “She was the funniest person in the family for sure and had a really dark sense of humor.” He describes his sister as painfully shy — she had no interest in acting — with a taste for other people’s minor misfortunes.
After a lengthy deliberation, our waiter, a scruffy and agreeable guy named Matt Midnight offers a suggestion: “You know what we could do? One of you could do the sirloin, one of you could do the rib eye, and then you guys can share — so you have two different steaks at the same time.”“Fuck you,” Culkin says. “That’s great.”gossip. “Snook and J. are possibly my favorite people I’ve ever worked with in my life,” he says.
The working dynamic is a little different with Jeremy Strong, who plays Roman’s older brother Kendall, who at the start of the new season has launched a full-scale mutiny against his father, Logan , for control of the family media empire. “It’s funny, when I improv with him, when he comes in the room, I often talk about how ugly Kendall is,” Culkin says.
By season two, Roman and Gerri’s naughty pas de deux had become canon. For Roman — whose sexual development took a wrong turn somewhere around the dog cage he supposedly was kept in as a child — Culkin theorizes it’s all in the wrongness. “Because it’s so not supposed to happen. It’s like, ‘Could you imagine what Dad would think about that? Or that she’s Shiv’s godmother? She probably used to help me tie my shoes when I was a little kid — and now we’re fucking. That’s why.
