Matthew Macfadyen's 'Succession' And 'Death By Lightning' Characters Are Both 'Weasily' But He Says There's One Huge Noticeable Difference

Succession was a HBO show that got the world talking, and won a ton of Emmys throughout its run on the air. With that series (which is streaming with a HBO Max subscription) in the rear view, star Matthew Macfadyen has returned to television with Netflix's Death By Lightning. And while both of those shows had him playing "weaselly" characters, he spoke to CinemaBlend about their differences.

The Succession cast was super strong, but I've got to say that Tom Wambsgans was absolutely my favorite character. I loved that Tom came out on top in the Succession series finale, and I had to bring him up while speaking to Macfadyen about his new series (which is streaming with a Netflix subscription). He compared Tom to Death By Lightning's Charles J. Guiteau.
