yeah I thought that, Matthew was still just Tom but Braun really brought his A Game - he's clearly scared of being typecast and was like right lets show everyone what I can do.
I can't tell if this was a typo and you maybe meant his version of Greg bc to me the genius is Tom sounds just like Greg when he talks to Logan, Shiv or anyone with power over him, hence why he needs Greg to abuse for his chance to be the confident one
@@mothwench that's what Oases meant. He's saying when Matthew was impersonating Greg he sounded just like his own character (Tom) when he talks to anyone of a higher social status - which is what you're also saying right? It's such a great character (Tom) and must be so much fun to play someone who is both a wannabe alpha and willing beta.
I thought it was even better … Nicolas showing us HIS version of Tom, and in the process maybe … MAYBE … showing us the real Greg under the klutzy veneer. FYI, I came back to this clip after season 4, episode 8, where we DO see “evil Greg” peek out after he SPOILER WARNING … rats out Shiv to Kendall.
matthew cannot take greg's role seriously at all (lmao) but nick is surprisingly good? i hope he escapes his typecast someday because if he puts his mind into it he could play a really cool antagonist! or just an eviler version of greg lol they always have so much fun together i hope this isn't the last project w this duo
@@lepythagore3288 idk i think he did pretty good! they are both trying (and failing in matthew's case) to not laugh so i think it wasn't bad lol I expected him to sound way more silly with tom's lines
You know, everyone was clowning on Nick's Emmy nomination for s3, but I think this really proved that the aloof, charming awkwardness he brings to Greg is *not* easy to do.
they were clowning him?? god ppl never appreciate fun characters, either you are playing the most disturbed person ever or you are not worth of a nomination i guess
@@damazywlodarczyk No I know, of course they do! There's just also a rather large subset of the fanbase, especially on twitter, who I've seen call him a bad actor etc. Not making anything up :)
They have to remember dozens of insane dialogues like this on a regular basis. It’s reasonable they need to read the thing again to remember it after all that.
It's crazy that macfadyen is the mvp actor of succession but even he can't play greg right, while braun is pretty good as tom, greg has a very specific personality that's hard to pull off
I think this just solidified for me how important writing is when coming up with dialogue for each character, making it believable and playing to the strengths of the actors.
Good reminder that other than the amazing script and photography, this show also has an absolute perfect casting. Each actor has embodied the characters so perfectly that even off camera they resemble them
It's funny. The components of Succession look like "the whole". Great cast, cinematography, an amazing Britell score, locations and of course the dialogue. But here we can see that these two excellent actors such at each others roles. So we should add casting to the list. I am sure that so many different people and talents have gone into this and as viewers we only see the end result. A chain is as strong as its weakest link, this chain is so strong and it has so many links. I feel grateful to experience this masterpiece.
The casting for this show was absolutely flawless! I can’t imagine any other actors in any of the roles. The writing ,the camera angles ,the music…everything is perfection. I will have to rewatch this when it’s over cause I will be sad.
This shows how adept and gifted they both are at 'embodying' their actual roles. Not just reading lines- which is what some cynics think acting is. Boo souls!

Lol, interesting idea, but poor execution. They should have hammed it up some more. 😆
!!
Good god I want to see a scene swap with Roman and Kendall.
yes!! @hbo get on it
Seeing as Jeremy Strong was initially trying to get the part of Roman that would be so perfect
@hbo plsss
Yeeeash hahahahaha
I SECOND THIS
this seems like a good opportunity to remind everyone that Connor Roy was interested in politics at a young age.
oh give it a rest
the conheads have infested the app.
at a ‘’very’’ young age?
STOPPP 😭😭😭
And that he safeguarding 30,000 acres of wilderness
Matthew basically did his version of Tom any time he talks to Logan
yeah I thought that, Matthew was still just Tom but Braun really brought his A Game - he's clearly scared of being typecast and was like right lets show everyone what I can do.
I can't tell if this was a typo and you maybe meant his version of Greg bc to me the genius is Tom sounds just like Greg when he talks to Logan, Shiv or anyone with power over him, hence why he needs Greg to abuse for his chance to be the confident one

@@dddgtsd OH I get it they meant in this video. I was confused but still had a feeling we were all on the same page lol
Or when he talks to early season Shiv
Nicolas actually embodied Matthew. The "Grag," the jaw movements, the eye contact, the seductive poise. I WAS NOT READY
Right?! There were just flashes but at several points his face muscles just kind of morphed into Tom. Acting is magic I swear.
The Congress bit, just fire
I thought it was even better … Nicolas showing us HIS version of Tom, and in the process maybe … MAYBE … showing us the real Greg under the klutzy veneer. FYI, I came back to this clip after season 4, episode 8, where we DO see “evil Greg” peek out after he SPOILER WARNING

Seductive?
Nicholas makes his "Tom" more of an overt sociopath and creepier. I like it.
matthew cannot take greg's role seriously at all (lmao) but nick is surprisingly good? i hope he escapes his typecast someday because if he puts his mind into it he could play a really cool antagonist! or just an eviler version of greg lol they always have so much fun together i hope this isn't the last project w this duo
Tbh like nick is grinning all the time, "surprisingly good" is a stretch in my opinion
@@lepythagore3288 idk i think he did pretty good! they are both trying (and failing in matthew's case) to not laugh so i think it wasn't bad lol I expected him to sound way more silly with tom's lines
Nicholas Braun is a good actor & I hope he doesn’t get typecast as well bc he has a lot of potential there to unlock
He reminded me of tyrell wellick from mr robot. I was surprised at his intensity
hold your breath on eviler version of greg, who knows we may very well get that in the coming weeks with S4
nicholas was actually so good, but it was so funny seeing matthew macfayden try to be awkward 💀💀
You know, everyone was clowning on Nick's Emmy nomination for s3, but I think this really proved that the aloof, charming awkwardness he brings to Greg is *not* easy to do.
they were clowning him?? god ppl never appreciate fun characters, either you are playing the most disturbed person ever or you are not worth of a nomination i guess
nobody was clowning anybody, you're making stuff up, people love this series and this character
@@damazywlodarczyk No I know, of course they do! There's just also a rather large subset of the fanbase, especially on twitter, who I've seen call him a bad actor etc. Not making anything up :)
Nicholas does such an excellent Tom impression🔥
such a good acting by Nick! I'm impressed! He got so serious ._. it's awesome
He does! It looks like he's been waiting to step into Tom's shoes for a while 😂
He Embodies
You can tell he's been studying Matthew's performance 🤓
Matthews switch between his British accent and Tom/Greg is nothing short of flawless.
I was floored the first time I heard his real voice. He's the most convincing Brit doing American English ever.
Seeing this you realize that acting as Greg is really hard, that nervousness is so hard to convey to people
What came out of this, was that I REALLY want to see an evil Greg come out of this.
It seems like a logical next step, right?
😂😂😂me too😂🙌💯
Are ya happy?
"Dark Greg" is the meme we all need in these troubled times...
I think we will see that "evil" Greg at the end of season 4...
And i emphasize "evil" meaning the REAL Greg!
damn Nicholas was Not joking when he said he'd embody Tom
He sure said it with conviction
i love this so much literally providing us top tier promo
Riiiight got me debating a watch party for the premiere
Matthew's voice is so calming, these two guys should definitely have their own tv series.
They do, it’s called Succession 🙃
New Succession spin-off: the Disgusting Brothers!
Nicholas was actually so good at delivering Tom's dialogue, damn. He should get to play an actual villain at some point
I just wanted to remind everyone that Lester has touched all of us
They have the best chemistry between them. I think, as much as I love the entire show, I mostly watch just waiting for their scenes together.
Nicholas Braun understood the assignment😂😂😂
It's so funny that they still need to consult the script, while most of us can recite this entire scene in our sleep.
Funny in a sad way
@@llimettime Yeah, I admit
They have to remember dozens of insane dialogues like this on a regular basis. It’s reasonable they need to read the thing again to remember it after all that.
Matthew played Greg as a more happy-go-luck guy with just a hint of the awkwardness, whereas Nicholas showed Toms’ menace more directly.
The way he flip flops in and out of this accent is insane! Very few Brits do a non hyper regional American accent so well and so fluidly
Nicholas Braun BODIED that. The man is an actor.
Things like this really remind me that their chemistry is just electric, in isolation it really shows.
I was smiling throughout this video so hard, my face pains. 🙂✨️
Dude. Somehow them swapping makes you realize how well the scene is acted out to their personalities in the show.
These two are my favorite onscreen romance of all time.
It's crazy that macfadyen is the mvp actor of succession but even he can't play greg right, while braun is pretty good as tom, greg has a very specific personality that's hard to pull off
This is the best scene in the entire history of TV
Wow seeing them swap roles shows how perfectly they were cast. No one else can be Greg. That's difficult to pull off convincingly.
This is the best thing I've watched today. Day made.
Nicholas Braun smashed it out of the park. They should have given him both parts.
Matthew definitely needed to crank up the awkwardness, but Nicholas really did embody Tom!
Matthew was really trying not to laugh the whole time 💀
Nicholas was triying so hard omg
Tom and Greg are by far and away my favorite part of this show. SO good.
"My Greg-weiler" classic
If you want a recap here is it, Connor Roy was interested in politics from a very young age and He is the eldest son.
"I am. Me."
@@janae5926 He is him
I'M THE ELDEST BOY!!!
@@liambezzina Conheads won't like it.
1:40 omg that was so good tho??
I would like to hope that these two remain friends outside of this series. I think that they could do a standup comedy roadshow.
They're extremely close; I'm sure they'll visit each other from time to time. Braun's in talks to do a play in England either later this year or next.
So damn good! It just shows that Nicholas plays awkwardness fantastically
I think this just solidified for me how important writing is when coming up with dialogue for each character, making it believable and playing to the strengths of the actors.
This actually proves that the scripts are great
This is actually a great demonstration for how important casting is
It’s interesting how the swap really reveals just how brilliant they both are in their own roles!
These two are just the best. They have some of the funniest lines in the show - the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of Succession.
Good reminder that other than the amazing script and photography, this show also has an absolute perfect casting. Each actor has embodied the characters so perfectly that even off camera they resemble them
The touch on the leg 😭
These two have the best chemistry in this show
they can't THEY LITERALLY CAN'T
This literally has no meaning. LITERALLY.
This scene is even more incredible after seeing the series finale.
BEAUTIFUL. I hope there is one with Jeremy and Brian (imagine that 🤭) or one with Sarah and Kieran 😁
Blessing us with ALLLL the content in time for season four !!!
nicholas is impressive. more serious roles for him please! ✨
who knew the pairing of tom & greg would be the best bromance (in a gaslighty kinda way) in tv history😂
This is everything I’ve ever needed???? How did they know
Even in laughter, macfadyen can’t help but make the words come alive. Braun is awesome too - but he’s in the presence of greatness.
Tom is drawn to Greg because he IS Greg. And Greg is a Tom in Greg's clothing. No wonder they can play each other so well.
the side eye to the camera when nicholas braun says "im gonna embody you" 😭
God I love their dynamic so much and they're both such talented actors
Thought I was gonna get work done today but now I have to go watch that episode again. 🤷♂
Matthew is awesome! He can hardly stop laughing.
Probably one of my favourite onscreen chemistry on the show 👌😂❤️
Nick would play the perfect Clark Kent. The way he goes into a whole different level of awkwardness and it’s almost unrecognizable. Amazing.
These two are the most delicious pairing since Moonlighting.
What?
Deep cut
I think this only confirms they are perfect for the roles they are casted to
Even if succession ends, I REALLY want to see a TomGreg spinoff cause' that story would be SOOO interesting and these two would absolutely kill it!!!
Sadly, it's ending this season :(
Nick killed it
This channel admin knew EXACTLY what he was doing when he used that smile for the thumbnail when they 😘swap roles😉
These guys were so great together.
Nicholas NAILED it!!
these two are so good they mustve had so much fun filming scenes together
You can’t make a Tomlette without breaking any Greggs
That's why casting directors are important.
Greatest duo in the history of tv for me
That was excellent, I truly enjoyed watching that. I know the show has ended but oh my god we need more!
These guys are soooooo good.
OMGGGGGGG Matthew Macfadyen is exceptional, and these two together STOLE the show, BRAVO Nic as well.
It's funny. The components of Succession look like "the whole". Great cast, cinematography, an amazing Britell score, locations and of course the dialogue. But here we can see that these two excellent actors such at each others roles. So we should add casting to the list. I am sure that so many different people and talents have gone into this and as viewers we only see the end result. A chain is as strong as its weakest link, this chain is so strong and it has so many links. I feel grateful to experience this masterpiece.
Literally every main actor on the show is scene stealing. I'm not even that invested in the show but the amount of talent in it is truly insane
yes agree with this so wholeheartedly! not a single person on this show is dropping the ball
Yes, all roles look like tailor-made spwcifically for these actors
Oh Jesse Armstrong what have you done
Tbh anytime I see Gregg open his mouth in the show I just instantly start laughing
Such an iconic scene!
The casting for this show was absolutely flawless! I can’t imagine any other actors in any of the roles. The writing ,the camera angles ,the music…everything is perfection. I will have to rewatch this when it’s over cause I will be sad.
beginning to understand why matthew once got kicked off a TV set for corpsing so irrecoverably
Only just finished binging Succession and this was one of my favorite scenes. Absolutely brilliant choice 😂❤
one of the best scenes of the series! their dynamic is electrifying
How do they ever film a single scene without laughing
Greg is perfectly cast and Matthew M is a brilliant actor
Basically everyone in this show did a top job with their acting. Excellent stuff.
Nicholas Braun’s innocence made this fun to watch 🎉
Nicholas actually did good
I love those two. And the dialog is superb. Gregweiler!
Best duo in the series.
They are hilarious together without even saying anything. Fantastic, rare chemistry.
God, I love these two together
This shows how adept and gifted they both are at 'embodying' their actual roles. Not just reading lines- which is what some cynics think acting is.
Boo souls!
You can't make a Tomlette 🍳 without breaking some Greggs!!! 🥚
The real succession's MVPs
I didn't know I need it... Thank you
They are my favorite TVcouple !!!
