![]() What is your biggest hope or dream for Greg? A big part of his struggle is, Where do I land here? Where do I fit in here? And I’ll be a loyal soldier to whoever accepts me. He’s been torn between a lot of potential sides and tried to play it right. At the end of the season, when Tom is like, ‘I’ve got a path for us, follow me,’ he’s like, Okay, I found my safe place. Logan brings him on his side, but it doesn’t feel that safe. Thought, Oh, Grandpa Ewan will take me back in he doesn’t. He thought Kendall was a safe place he wasn’t. Season 3 feels like his hazing period, for sure. By the end of season 3, he’s been put through a lot, and he’s ready to show off the skills he’s acquired and be a little more fearless. Oh, that really hurt me-maybe I can do that to someone else later. He’s like, Okay, that’s how Kendall played that. The way that I’ve thought about him is, he stores a lot of things, he observes things, collects Roy behavior. Over the course of the three seasons, he’s soaked up a lot. He doesn’t really know how to be this type of person. He comes into this family as a puppy dog. Going into season 4, how have you seen Greg evolve? I went to a boarding school, so kids were up in the dorms playing video games, and I never wanted to miss any of it. I would live on four hours of sleep at night and kind of loved how hard it was. I always got very little sleep in high school. I don’t know why, other than my dad is the same way. Everybody’s so good in front of the camera, behind the camera-I was like, hell yeah, we’re doing this for nine more months. It’s been a year since we last filmed it, and it was like jumping right back in. ![]() I’m not an early riser, so it’s never been that easy for me. ![]() You really gotta wake your brain up, chug some coffee. Most of the time, it’s very early: getting picked up between 5:30 and 6:30 a.m. What is a typical day like for you when you’re filming Succession ? Here, fresh off his first day of filming the series’ fourth season, the actor discusses his hopes for Greg’s future and his fascination with another underdog you can’t help but root for-Tim Riggins, the brooding fullback/running back from Friday Night Lights. Braun knows there are a lot of people rooting for his character as he navigates the messy Waystar Royco empire-and he is too. Since the show’s premiere, in 2018, Braun has become a favorite with fans, who track Cousin Greg’s power ranking among the ruthless Roys after each new episode. This year, the series made Emmys history, receiving a record-breaking 14 nominations in the acting categories and 25 nods overall. ![]() As the bumbling but lovable Roy family underdog Cousin Greg on HBO’s Succession, the actor has gotten used to taking a psychological beating on-screen-and has earned two Emmy nominations in the process. “Sometimes it’s nice to get kind of bashed up,” Nicholas Braun says brightly on a recent afternoon in New York City. Here's a selection of some of my favorite lines, paired with Riggins' stupidly perfect face in motion: You want to know what it was like?It was like my whole life had a fever.Whole acres of me were on fire.The sun talked dirty in my ear all night.For W ’s third annual TV Portfolio, we asked 21 sought-after names in television to pay homage to their favorite small-screen characters by stepping into their shoes. But, for a mere $9.00, a physical copy of Tim Riggins’ deepest expressions can be yours to have and to hold. And for all the kitschy-ness of the premise, Alvarado's poems do have a simple beauty, reminiscent of Dillon's arid rolling plains (I'd imagine).įour of Alvarado’s poems appeared last year in Gulf Coast, the University of Houston’s literary journal, which provides further evidence against the James Franco-esque extended-joke-on-humanity-theory. Honestly, I’m still not sure whether this whole thing is a joke or not, but WHO CARES! Alvarado’s chapbook is a clinic in free indirect discourse that would make George Eliot proud. Each of the poems, which range from the ecstatic ( “Tim Riggins Speaks of Waterfalls”) to the experimental ( “Tim Riggins Invents a New Number”), provides a fourth-wall-destroying glimpse into our favorite running back’s turbulent soul. The Collected Poems of Tim Riggins by Nico Alvarado, a writer/teacher/Iowa Writers’ Workshop graduate (yeah, he’s legit), is now available from non-profit publisher Hell Yes Press. I’ll just be over here, crying/imploding into my novelty Dillon Panthers T-shirt. Wait - that’s not what you guys were waiting for? Okay, then. The wait is finally over: a collection of poems “by” Tim Riggins, Friday Night Lights’ most rugged stud, has arrived for your swooning pleasure.
