Jeremy Strong tackles another morally complex character, playing the power broker behind Donald Trump's rise
JEREMY STRONG IS NOT KNOWN FOR HIS SENSE OF humor. When getting dressed, he favors brown for its "monastic" connotation. He famously thought that Succession, the HBO show that shot him to stardom, was a straight drama when his co-stars believed it to be a comedy. When he sits down for our Zoom conversation in September-in a brown shirt, of course-he recites poetry and quotes Stella Adler, the godmother of Method acting. He describes Succession as reflecting "the Emersonian notion of the institution as the shadow of a man."
But when I suggest that he could have capitalized on that show's success by earning a hefty paycheck from a superhero movie-as many in his position have done-he cracks a self-aware smile. The notion that he, an actor who insists on disposing of his own personality in order to fully inhabit a character, would implement that extreme approach to play a spandex-wearing hero is, indeed, funny.Strong, once an eager upstart, has arguably grown into the pretentiousness he's been accused of in the past. Before answering a question, he tends to lean back in his chair, look up at the ceiling, and actually consider his words rather than rattling off a canned quote. He has let himself go a bit gray, the effect closer to thoughtful professor than Succession's hapless nepo baby Kendall Roy.

Love Story tries too hard to be The Crown for America
IF THE KENNEDYS ARE THE CLOSEST THING AMERICA has to a royal family, then Carolyn Bessette Kennedy was our Princess Diana. Like her British counterpart, she was an outsider—albeit a beautiful, stylish, blond, privileged one—to the palace intrigue that consumed the family she married into. She was stalked by paparazzi and alternately worshipped and vilified. And then she died, in her mid-30s, in a horrible accident, only to have her legacy dissected for decades to come. We never let either woman rest in peace.
