Strong is not by any means ungrateful for the award-winning HBO hit. “That show was an incalculable gift. The material a banquet. So I miss that,” he explains, “But Kendall’s struggle was difficult to carry for seven years. And there’s just so much more I want to do.”

Succession” star Jeremy Strong, 45, who infamously got criticized by his own onscreen dad for his method acting, is opening up about how playing Kendall Roy “f–cked me up.”

Jeremy Strong - who is known for his method acting approach - says working on 'Succession' took a toll and he has no desire to return to the show.

Reflecting on the series, which concluded in 2023, Strong acknowledged it as a pivotal chapter in his life but emphasized that he doesn’t miss playing Kendall, saying, “There’s just so much more I want to do.” His sentiments echo earlier comments where he suggested that the show had been “put to rest” and he wasn’t interested in reprising his role.

He continued, “While I don’t think that it’s necessary [for gay roles to be performed by gay actors], I think that it would be good if that were given more weight.”
