Succession has been submitted into the leading actor category at this year’s Emmys, despite his character’s limited screen time in season four.Variety has confirmed that Cox’s turn as the billionaire media mogul will be considered alongside fellow co-stars Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin, the latter having moved into the lead category after previously being listed as a supporting actor.The announcement comes in spite of the fact that Cox’s character died in the third episode (‘Connor’s Wedding’) of the current and final season. Subsequently, it had been speculated that the actor would be downgraded to the supporting actor or guest categories.With that not being the case, Succession could now make history as the first show to land three lead drama actor nominations in the same year.

Not his wife, either.”He explained: “It was in the pilot, and after it was picked up, it was his girlfriend, and she had a child.
I’m wearing my real wedding band in the episode.”The actor went on to say that he “was excited about the idea of [Roman] having a kid, and the kid was like seven or eight”. He then admitted “it was a little disappointing” for the show to go in a different direction.“But I think the idea was that it would just give them more freedom to play with the character,” Culkin said, adding: “They had mentioned to me, even before we shot the pilot, about questioning what Roman’s sexuality is – and we don’t know what it is.“But it put something in my brain, and I was like, ‘OK, but I’m married and have kids?’”He added: “They were toying with the idea that she’s aware that you have sort of hangups sexually when it comes to monogamy, and might be more fluid, but we don’t know what that is yet.”Elsewhere, in a recent interview with Esquire, Culkin revealed that he wanted “to cry” after co-star Sarah Snook made a comment about the series coming to an end.
