The Succession Scream-Off Between Hugo And Greg We Never Got To See

In case you somehow forgot, “Succession” season 4 episode 3 is when patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox) finally bites the dust. The episode — which is considered to be possibly the best episode of the entire series — centers less on Logan dying, and more on the way everyone in the Roy inner circle reacts to the news. This includes business associates who are far less emotionally invested in Logan’s passing, and are instead working overtime to make sure the news doesn’t hurt anyone’s bottom line.

“When Logan dies, there’s a sense that the story of his death was leaked and maybe it was Greg when he was flirting with a reporter,” Fisher Stevens said to set the stage. “I had a scene written and we also improvised like crazy where I confront Greg telling him he’s a f***ing a-hole, he was the one who leaked the story, I’m going to f***ing kill him,” he said. But remember, Hugo Baker is a short, brown-noser of a man, while Cousin Greg is an absolute giant. As Stevens said:

“I’m 5’8″ and he’s 6’7″ and I’m just looking up and screaming at him. I was Joe Pesci on him. And he then just destroys me back in a very Greg way, calling me so small. It was this funny back-and-forth. I thought it was pretty good.”

Maybe one day we’ll get to see it, because that sounds pretty amazing.
