A Look at The Actor's BEST Moments as Tom Wambsgans on Succession

Matthew Macfadyen has proven that he's an actor par excellence with his performance on Succession

The magic of Succession lies in its writing and its casting

[{"selector":"#anim-a31fe11e-f722-4deb-aa72-1ee5ec923820 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -3.333333050161814%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

There's a reason why the HBO series has become one of the biggest dramas and also won deserving accolades year after year

[{"selector":"#anim-f90410a4-4481-4463-ac54-ee65a243e688 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.801950231565775%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The show has several delectable characters & among them is also Matthew Macfadyen's Tom Wambsgan

[{"selector":"#anim-552d9778-4369-467d-a063-b7b8c455d367 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(10.778808355757333%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

There is no one way to look at Wambsgans and hence there are moments when you feel utter pity for him

[{"selector":"#anim-c84a5edd-7394-4895-af98-9cc8d6209a55","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bf565c93-e817-4a1c-a1c4-bac7dc09b554","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Matthew plays Tom with such surety that it feels difficult to separate him from the character

[{"selector":"#anim-73d04ca8-ef0a-4a57-8651-624c723096b5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-9.821428327626556%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

In the second season, Tom is put before Congress in order to testify about the Waystar Royco cruise scandal

[{"selector":"#anim-2c20bcf4-199e-40bf-aa07-4892218bdbda [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(8.533653594537665%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The scene showcases Matthew at his absolute best as he conveys Tom's nervousness, discomfort, and stammering

[{"selector":"#anim-c5310bf0-dd05-4a53-bfd4-180ad557492a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-14.323467013960158%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

One of the biggest twists for Matthew's characters happened to be at the end of Season 3

[{"selector":"#anim-12d60f12-d98a-4372-98db-484dde100eee [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.801950231565775%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

It's also the moment that will change Wambsgans' character arc significantly in the next season

[{"selector":"#anim-51925183-c4e5-4c26-840b-06ce18719eb0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.9814812325827%, 0) translate(0%, -25%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]
