Matthew Macfadyen Reveals When He Knew Succession Would Be a Hit - Late Night with Seth Meyers
• Matthew Macfadyen Reve...
Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth
Tom and Greg should have a spinoff sitcom.
They missed a trick with the seaman not wanting to come. Are Beavis and Butt-Head still around?
He's actually going by Gregory now.
Name it Tomlettes and Greggs and you got yourself a hit
In case none of you have seen it, there is a brilliant romantic comedy movie trailer about Tom and Gregg that some genius put together on UA-cam, it's absolutely amazing
They could call it Tomlettes and Greggs.
I worked on Succesion S3 and one day I overheard Matthew order "another" quesadilla from craft service, suggesting that this was not his first quesadilla of the day. It was the highlight of my week lmao. Love him
omg tell us more
yes please tell more!!!
Like most Hollywood actors, he's maddeningly fit and trim.
@@groptimum Až na to, že to NENÍ hollywoodský herec. Je to Brit, který momentálně hraje v Hollywoodu!
I’m surprised he didn’t order a tomlette
This dude is one underrated actor. He completely changed character from differing projects.
He's not Kevin Hart (who just plays himself), he's an actual actor.
He just won his 2nd Emmy so he's pretty rated now!
Loved him in Quiz.
Matthew, you have bewitched me, body and soul. And I love…I love…I love you! ✨✨✨
Excellent!!! love it!
He’s forever my Mr. Darcy. Loved him in that role.
You make me smile with this comment 😁
Exactly
swoooons
"You can't make a Tomlette without breaking a few Greggs!"
This comment is on every video of succession cast interviews and I laugh every single time. It's one of the best lines of dialogue in comedy or drama in the past decade.
@@AndrewJerkins a major compliment when someone says ‘ Never Gets Old ‘
😂😂😂
@@AndrewJerkins Don't overdo it!
@@AndrewJerkins I just noticed this too, every single time haha!
"Uh... Dad?" Perfectly sums up who Kendall Roy is
His Greg impersonation is quite good too.
And let’s face it, the Greg character must be fun to play, it’s certainly fun to hear Seth impersonate him!
His wife is so lucky. She gets to hear that beautiful voice all the time.
He's lucky, He gets to be married to Keeley Hawes!
She has a beautiful voice as well and is also a very beautiful woman - Keeley Hawes 😍
Macfadyen was just sitting there being his usual jovial self, all the while knowing he's actually playing the most ruthless killer of all time.
Man that ending of S3... I always thought he's gonna show everyone but holy sh*t
@@89DerChristian well he definitely did now
Yeah this is even more true now.
take a nap bruh, most ruthless killer lol
@@mamasaidknockyouout???
A lot of people talk about how Tom and Greg were so dynamic (Which they were) but lets not forget how great Matthew and Sarah Snook were acting along side each other. Matthew was damn acting powerhouse every time he was on screen in Succession.
I love that the world is seeing how brilliant of an actor Mathew is.
yep compared to the charaters he's played in past all uptight, especially the guy from spooks
Matthew is a great actor -- his portrayals in 19th Century costume dramas are 180-degrees from Tom. And yet he's absolutely persuasive in all of them.
Indeed! I just re-watched Little Dorrit and Ripper and he's such a versatile actor.
As a fellow method actor, I appreciate that he didn’t break character for some British thing he’s obviously got coming up.
😂😂😂😂
New Zealand
brilliant
@@seancoyne3261 . . .what
@@seancoyne3261 what? Operation Mincemeat was filmed in London & Spain, he was born in Great Yarmouth UK, & Succession S4 starts production late spring .....
I knew he was Mr. Darcy, but Tom’s accent and vibes were so good I forgot until now… And I’m so here for it. He’s absolutely lovely.
Matthew is adorable. Charming, handsome, expressive, and with the most hypnotic voice. Wonderful. 💖
Darcy….
Matthew Is amazing.
Agree
Yes, he is my favorite and often overlooked Darcy.
watch Spooks. it's him.
(he's the only "Darcy" that nailed "just REALLY socially awkward" that mirrors novel.)
I love him SOOOO much. He and Greg make the entire show in my opinion.
Absolutely agree. Their dialogue has me in stitches sometimes.
Same! They are the best characters.. separate as well as together 🙂
@@atlocean you dont have to.
I’m here for Greg and Tom
@@atlocean dude fuckin kendall, frank, carl, Gil, CONNOR, yall are simple minded 🥹
I will always have a crush on Matthew MacFadyen
Same!
Mr. Darcy
Same. He alWays will be Mr Darcy for me 😍😍
He has bewitched you, body and soul
@@Micifuzi 😍
It's so cool to me how Matthew and Sarah Snook can do American accents better than a lot of actual American actors
… makes no sense
this kind of dickriding doesnt even make sense, why would american actors need to do an american accent thats just how they talk
I had no idea he was British til this interview lol. As for Sarah I couldn't tell until the beginning of one episode of the show her accent faltered only slightly and I was like- wait is she not really american?!?!?
He’s a great actor but he’s specifically doing a flat Midwestern accent but not overly twangy (makes sense since Tom is an educated Minnesotan); not just an “American” accent (which doesn’t exist any more than a “British” accent does). I’ve noticed that while the best British actors can totally nail those many of them struggle with more intensely regional ones, like Deep South or Boston. The non American actors on True Blood for example sound terrible 😂
@@AelinW my thoughts exactly
He'll always be Mr Darcy for me.
Yasssss 🥰
he is THE best Darcy!! Always will be!
Same!
@@hilltopfamily sorry, but no. Colin Firth was the best Darcy. Not that MacFadyen didn’t do a great job. But he couldn’t surpass Firth.
Yes,Matthew is the one and only and the only one Mr Darcy...
Wow this dude has an incredibly accurate d-bag American accent. Never even thought for a second he wasn’t American. Fantastic actor!
I know that he is English, but somehow in every interview, I still get surprised by his accent :D
Same!!!
Y'all missed Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightly, huh? Was kinda his big breakout role for US audiences
@@femmebrulee5053 Right. He still does the Mr. Darcy facial expressions (swoon).
@@femmebrulee5053 We saw it! It just seems super weird that this is the same actor as the Succession character
@@Elmerphant omg he was Mr. Darcy 😮 I didn't know!
His hands ❣ Like Mr. Darcy
He's so shy 😍
Succession's ssn 3 finale is one of the best episodes ever made
why? I must be missing something.
Agreed
Agree. I thought about it for days after.
Sarah Snook killed that episode. Best actor in the group.
@@sarahblomquist2326 Jeremy strong is better
Hearing Matthew speaking is just mesmerizing, love this man. He’s so handsome, sexy and interesting at the same time
I love how his kids keep him humble. 😂😂😂
So glad our British gem is finally getting the international recognition he deserves!
He seems like such a sweet man. Loooooved him in Pride & Prejudice!!
Oh yeah.. That's one the best movies ever.
He is a great actor for playing Mr. Darcy in Pride & Prejudice and Tom Wambsgans in Succession. Those characters are poles apart.
OMG. The best Mr. Darcy ever. Love his voice.
MacFadyen seems to be so shy, but he makes a good effort to do these interviews. He's such a talent, I have to watch Succession.
"Death at a Funeral" (the original British film) is one of my all-time favorites with Matthew Macfadyen... check it out!
Yes, one of the funniest movies of all time!
Omgosh who does he play in that? Definitely a favorite movie & actor! *running off to imdb*
Death at a Funeral and Ripper Street are amazing!
It is uproarious funny!
His speech at the end always chokes me up
I’ve only seen him in Pride and Prejudice he was so good in that role and I loved watching him walk. The scene at the end when he is walking to see her just such a presence. So great to see him out of character and recognize how that character is not him at all and what a great actor does how he becomes the character so fascinating ❤
yezzzzzzz
He is the best actor on the show and they’re all extraordinary actors. He’s so next level
I agree. They’re all so freakingly talented but Matthew is still better.
agree, the series is filled with gifted actors but mcfadyen's tom is just incredible, he's an insecure bully who behaves diferently with each of the other characters, what a performance...
@@maxwedewferg That’s exactly what elevates his performance. The other characters have one persona. Matthew is constantly changing modes.
Casual Seth has been such joy to watch and guests seem comfortable too
was there a formal seth?
@@KartikeyaDutta ĺ
I love seths interviews w this cast because you can tell he’s just a huge fan of the succession
his american accent of a midwesterner who no longer lives in the midwest is perfect
one look at him and my mind takes me to that iconic sunrise confession scene
Man Seth is doing really great with his audience back.
The whole time I was expecting him to flip the hosts desk! Season 3 Tom was one of the better performances I’ve seen from an actor in years, and his story line is incredible. bravo to Matthew and the writers for making secondary characters matter ✌️
One of my favorite actors, love everything he's ever been in and that voice . . . . sigh . . .
This guy is a gem. I LOVE his performance as Tom.
I love Tom! He is weird, funny and honest. Something about him that differs from the others. Matthew is an incredible actor indeed (TOM’STHE ACCENT IS PERFECT aaaaa)
I so love the sound of Matthew Macfadyen's voice!
I've gotten so use to him as Tom, it's funny to hear his normal voice. He's such an amazing actor!!! Ripper Street is award-worthy acting!!!
This show hooked me when Cousin Greg said " umm I feel like I don't want to be in the death zone " 😆
Gosh he is gorgeous 😍 His voice is a melody 🎶
his voice is so soothing
matthew seems like a genuinely great and sweet and bashful person I think I fell in love lmao
He was my absolute favorite character on succession and I was rooting for him the entire time through the show!😆
Matthew Macfadyen is one of my favorite actors period and his wife Keeley!
Matthew MacFadyen is such an endearing man.. as well as a quintessential actor .. and he is absolutely beautiful in every way ..
This interview was delightful .. Matthew has such a likeable aura about him .. really appreciate this interview .. both Matthew and the interviewer appeared totally comfortable and having a pleasant chat .. and Matthew is so appealing and humble .. vanity is checked at the door when Matthew is involved ..
This man is someone I would like to meet .. if ever I had an opportunity.. would hug this beautiful guy and tell him how much he is appreciated and respected by all of us who love him so ..
Always Matthew MacFadyen will be loved .. truly a beautiful man❣
Jen999💙
Look how gorgeous Matthew is and such an amazing,superb actor...
Ripper Street is his best thing. It's probably in the top 5 best shows coming out of the UK in the last 10 years
I'd say Spooks was his best but yeah, if he's in it it's usually good.
Ripper street is amazing!
He is so incredibly charming!
He makes Tom such a adorkable character. At first, I thought he was kind of a prick, like he said to Greg himself, but as you keep watching the episodes, you see he's really awkward and he's trying so hard to fit into the family. That's why he's fond of Greg somehow, cause Greg's the sort of misfit and outsider and keeps a weight off Tom's shoulders. Idk... im still on season 1
I think he likes and hates Greg simultaneously for that reason.
Ripper street?
He is amazing in the series Ripper Street. ❤
LOVED THAT SERIES...he was sooo mmmmm mmm good!
Ha! I just posted the exact same thing. That show was just great.
Succession is crap compared to RS.
@@donaldfabozzi3996 you can hardly compare both shows, though. They're both good (with one being vastly superior - RS) but they do not occupy the same space.
@@realworkoutsforrealpeople5041 Sure. I'm still looking for Edmund Reid in Succession though :).
I’ve loved him since he was on MI5. One of his most powerful roles was Paul in “In My Father’s Den”.
He is one of my favorite actors but I didn't realize it was him on this show because his character and accent are so different. What a shape shifter!
Which truly makes him such a great actor!
Tom - one of the best characters on the show. I love his and Greg's dynamic.
He's such a sweetheart can't wait to see more of him
1:16 “Cousin Greg” in a British accent for your listening delight
Saw Matthew and had to click...LOVE HIM!!! Ever since 2005's Pride & Prejudice when he made all of us fall in love with him and he was OUTSTANDING in Ripper Street also ... even his voice is sexy ❤️❤️❤️
Even though Ive known him from Pride and Prejudice first and foremost, watching Succession he is amazing and I have honeslty forgotten he is British
How did Ripper Street not get a mention?!?! Brilliant show and a fantastic performance by Matthew
Yes. They never mention ripper street and it was fantastic.
I first discovered him (and Keeley) like 20 years ago when MI-5 came out (original UK name is Spooks). They are both fantastic... I actually just started re-watching MI-5 last weekend... forgot how they were just babies haha! Matthew is amazing in Ripper Street... which is one of my favorite shows and I see that Netflix took it off... bummer! Thanks for having him on, Seth!
I loved Spooks back then, but I had to stop watching when Richard Armitages character took his baddie turn.
same here, MI-5 (spooks) was great. when matthew and keeley were written out by season three, it held up but still wasn’t the same.
@@krissybell76 🙈
@@jeffarch1435 Yeah, I held on for maybe 2-3 seasons after Tom, Zoe, and Danny were gone... then just stopped watching. They were the best!
I totally adored "Ripper Street" myself. I was lucky enough to have been able to tape most of it, and will cherish them. It is another wonderful series where the chemistry he shared with Jerome Flynn and Adam Rothenberg was utterly wonderful (to me, at least). Dark, yet captivating. So well done. One of the best period piece of the Victorian era of Whitechapel, London.
'And I Love Love Love You'
Most ardently.
Just binged watched season one and two and man was I hooked! Its got dark humor and twists, and the locations were fantastic! A lot of guilt free voyeurism of people in castles, penthouses, private jets and yachts. But under it all is a very dysfunction family who's money has warped them all. Cant wait for season 3!
Such a perfect description of the show! 🤍
Been a long time since I’ve been this addicted to a show. Succession might be my new favorite if it stays on this track
I'm in the same boat as you. I can't watch the series fast enough hahaha
What a lovely man he is! :)
I was absolutely shocked this was Mr Darcy in Succession, what a GREAT actor!!
I am just a sucker for British accents. Very charming man.
His wife is charming too! Keeley Hawes.
Me too. He’s rather swoon-worthy.
Me living in UK:..... WHAT?
@@erinesee No a?
@@erinesee Yeah, quite a couple!
I love this actor so much! I would have never guessed he is not American! He plays Tom so well. Great cast!
While McFayden was on MI-5 (AKA Spooks) it was one of my all-time favorite series.
Just mentioned it was great to see him come back at the end to close the circle 😀
Loved MI -5!
this guy is just oozing Emmy vibes
He deserves one but I think the supporting actor Emmy will go to Kieran Culkin. There’s a slight pro-American bias, which is natural.
Was he in Little Dorritt? I love him!!
Yup, that was him. :)
Matthew is amazing. Seth is graciously delightful to watch interview. Love this. Love Succession.
That's amazing that he had the Galleria dell'Accademia all to himself
Such a great actor, Keeley is one of my favourite actresses, love her.
I love his smile it’s like he only flashes it when he wants to allow you
OMG I LOVE THIS MAN.
Love love love Matthew
WHOA that accent caught me off guard!!!!
Now I'm appreciating is acitng even more. WOW
"Ripper Street" my peeps. If you haven't seen it yet, do watch it. He is FABULOUS in it.
mr. darcy...handsome enough to tempt us all....his silky voice...great accent...extremely charming personality n awesomely beautiful....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If anything Matthew would just be getting his own back. Keeley worked on Corfu for years shooting the Durrells 😆
He does such a great job with Toms voice
For over a decade I've called this man Mcfayden.
i love this guy character in the show,he is just amazing.
Matt will always be Mr. Darcy for me 🥰
For me as well!
@@JT-lp9ng I've watched that movie so many times.. It never gets old.
Was his old spy show called MI5 in the US? It was Spooks here in the UK. I loved that show :)
It was called MI5 and I loved it!
spooks has another connotation here so u cant use that name in the US. it means spy but its also a racial slur for black people in america.
I think when it was broadcast on PBS it was called MI-5
@@navrotron22 I did not know that. I'm glad they changed it then!
Yep... MI-5 in the US for the reason mentioned below. Also, fun fact... the producers had to work a deal with the actors union. If you notice, there are no acting credits in the show... at least in earlier seasons/series. The writers wanted to add to the anonymity of the characters (spies) so they chose to have no credits. I think they made deal that they'd appear in the DVD and also on a website.
I loved him in Pride and Prejudice
forever crush since 2004. bewitched, honestly.
I just love that Seth still keeps Andy Samberg on his desk🥺🥺
He's so talented! His British accent is spot on!
can't wait for season 4
Me too!!! Season 3 was too darn short!
My friend was there in the audience!
He can make himself sound so nasty but really his voice is so beautiful.
I love this man as Ive never loved another I think..hes just.....😥brings tears to my eyes how perfect he is..love love love💖💕
I love gooooollllld
I love gooooollllldd
I love gooold
He speaks so well
I love this man so much
LOVE LOVE LOVE Matthew Macfadyen. He and Brian Cox are the main draw for me to watch Succession.
Tom coming back at the end of spooks(MI5) was a fantastic arc and completion.
Still one of my favourite shows ever. I loved MF in it but the entire cast were great
dude, spoilers
@@samtrotter7177 given the series finished literally 10 years ago, I think it might be ok lol
Matthew is my favorite actor on the best acted show on television
