FANTASTIC American accent in the show, very consistent
Geez had no idea!
She should train Kate Winslet [terrible accent]
@@keithsteeman5039 her American accent yes. But her Aussie accent is fantastic
I'm surprised so many people seem to feel this way. I literally thought her character was supposed to have gone to some European boarding school or something because of the strong accent
And Tom is English.
holy shit she's Australian. what an insanely talented actor to pull of Shiv and be literally a completely different person
Agreed!
You should hear Tom's amazing British English accent!
@@erenta72 I was going to say that, but you've said it better!
that's what actors usually do: play a different person.
@@alyssag.5758 Tom Holland is just Tom Holland in every movie.
I loved Shivs S2 wardrobe. Her turtlenecks and wide-leg, high-waisted trousers. Also love Sarah’s side eye!
She is SEXY in S2! I need that wardrobe 😍
I must admit that her wardrobe is completely out of topic for her role. I’ve worked for people like her. Most of them are discreet with the brands, but they are well dressed. Shiv is dressed like a Harvard lawyer :)
Evd disagree. Clients of this caliber may want low profile looks, but their desire for quality is very apparent in fabric, stitching, and design. All is pretty accurate in her wardrobe including fit (the most important part).
@@carolinevoss6025 "Suddenly, Shiv’s suits were cheap looking; her dresses for big, important events were oddly fitted; her entire sartorial sense of self seemed to be hanging by a thread. Ironically, Sarah Snook, the actress playing Shiv, looked better than ever, but her costuming appeared to be fighting her at every turn."
@@erenta72
idk, but as for me, Shiv’s wardrobe in general leaves a lot to be desired, actually. It could be a lot better… I loved the actress but hated her costumes for the most part. Uffff 🌚
Had no clue she was Australian. Her American accent is on point.
It really is.. she was on this great Australian show The Beautiful Lie.
to be fair it is probably the easiest and most common accents of English to put on, it's so neutral
@@bvedant ....no its not lmao. It sounds neutral to you because it's what you're used to
Everyone is Australian.
Agreed. I heard her for the first time a month ago or so and I was amazed!
I'm shocked. She doesn't even make the same face gestures that shiv does. She's a completely different person. What an actress!!!
Ugh. She’s so gorgeous and charming. Love her
major soccer booty also
@@darthnegrus9255 i sweeeeeeaaaaarrrrr
Welcome to the tribe.
Really?
@@darthnegrus9255 I'm glad you said it, ol girl's got them cakes! I love her.
Wow, she’s so different from Shiv, so laid back… it’s mesmerizing to watch this interview after binge watching “Succession”, it just proves how good she is at her craft
Watch her in Predestination. Incredible movie and acting from Sarah.
That hug moment was one of the best moments of acting on the whole show. Really blew me away.
i want them to lean into those kind of scenes more bc it gave the episode and show such beautiful padding around all the dark ugliness. I hope there's more moments like that to come.
That was one of the most touching moments I've ever seen on television. Genuinely beautiful.
@@samimhoff2766 show needs more of it!
I shed a tear on that scene, the only scene where I felt sympathy fo a character in that series. God they’re awful people, so when one showed vulnerability, I was feeling it.
Where, pray tell, is the "hug moment" so I may see it for myself? I'm extremely new to this actor's talents. I am watching Predestination as I am writing this. Thank you very much.
Nicholas Braun and Sarah Snook are the same age. And on screen Shiv feels older but watching Sarah talk she feels a lot younger and more relatable. Just a testament to how good of an actress she is.
100 percent
Not to mention Nicholas' apparent IQ skyrockets the moment he's out of character.
Nicholas is 35? He looks young
Damn, she conveyed so much through her eyes. I just love how she's able to show what's in shiv's head using her eyes. Hope she'll get more project on movies and series.
I can't even believe that is the person playing Shiv! Wow. This person is warm, tender, and full of happiness. She smiles a lot!! It's like the complete opposite of Shiv, for sure. What an amazing actor because she plays a cold, calculated, immoral, and despicable person on the show. The biggest transformation I've seen is Snook playing Shiv. It's unreal that this is the person playing her!
I'm glad this seems to be a thing that a lot of people have noticed. Jeremy Strong is probably the actor who can immerse me the most, but Sarah Snook's expressions are the ones that I literally rewind just to watch them again. I don't know if this is a common thing, but I find myself mirroring her expressions a lot while I'm watching because they just take you on such a journey every time lol
@@brads.7525 She is a coked up street walker, also gave me a work of hand in a back alley once.
She seems like a really nice, normal person. Her performance as Shiv is terrific.
Matthew MacFadyen who plays her husband is English, I recently found out. I had no idea they weren't American, their accents are flawless. Both are such great talents.

He's my favorite Darcy
Brian Cox is Scottish and you can hear it in interviews
Wow didn’t know that about Brian Cox!
@@brads.7525 She is a coked up street walker, also gave me a work of hand in a back alley once.
I love the way she talks about how all of the characters would have to completely leave the family and that upper-echelon kind of society in order to become better people. We're even seeing that play out with Kendall now because he's done what we would consider the "right" thing, but he's still doing it "for the sake of the company," and for his own ego, rather than out of any real concern for the women who were involved.
also they SHOULD dissolve the whole thing. that's what i've wanted to see since episode 1 :Y
@@deuteragonist1078 ikr. kendall already said to even someone like naomi pierce who is less toxic and more educated family, to get out. but I'm afraid hbo isn't ballsy enough to play that out.
@@deuteragonist1078 that's a different and more complicated thing than kendall or shiv leaving obviously. the roy family is intentionally fictionalized to a grotesque level because then it's not too real
That's why i enjoy the show. They're bunch of horrible people, some of them are less toxic but still horrible. They fight for what they want and what they think is theirs, not for the right thing.
I think of this so often while I watch succession, 'it would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.' Boy ain't that the truth, that should be the name of the show. At first I thought that I would feel sorry for the characters all the time; however, I'm embarrassed to say, there are some of the characters that I love it when they stick it to the ones I don't care for. My favorites are Roman, Geri and Greg! I honestly believe Greg will be the next CEO of Waystar!
i love her, she's so right when she said people judge Shiv more than they judge the male characters, they all do a lot of questionable things all the time but people say she's the worse of them all and that's simply not true
Is this true? I thought Shiv was by far the favorite
@@You_work_tomorrow its definitely kendall
@@americanosycho The content the great algorithm sends me is ken is who the show is propping up but their personal choice is Shiv, because she's the smartest, only reason she isn't ceo is just misoginy.
@@You_work_tomorrowI wouldn't say she isn't CEO because of misogyny. Obviously Logan is one because what isn't he at this point lol. But I think it has more to do with that Logan just doesn't respect her tactics. Shiv essentially tries to be everyone's friend and is constantly scheming with anyone to gain power. Logan knows this and doesn't respect it at all hence why he calls her a coward. Ultimately Logan doesn't think any of his kids is worthy because they don't have the same mean streak as he does. That's why he names Kendall because atleast Kendall tried to destroy Logan in season 3 which mostly failed but still lol
I love Shiv! The multiple faces /shades shown by Shiv is fascinating!! And she always looks so effortlessly gorgeous!!!
Absolutely!
Yes, beautifully full-figured.
this is by far the most stark difference between an actor and a character. like it’s borderline bizarre lol. damn she is such a good actor
OMG she is adorable. Great acting by her in a great show.
Shiv is my fave character actually, I don't care what other people think :)
Agreed! Liked her since they first introduced her
Same! I sympathize more with her because she really tried to detach herself from the toxicity in her family, got into politics, married someone who’s not in the same circle as her family, even if she did it out of fear of losing control/power or even comfort, I think she just wanted out
I love her too! And I know deep down that she is Logan Roy’s favorite child, at least I want to think so 😅
@@cgill914 she totally is! Brian confirmed on Seth Meyer that shiv is Logan’s favorite kid. I love this because she is my favorite too ❤️
Why would anybody think anything about that ? 🤔
the fact that she has an Austrailian accent is blowing my mind. she acts so incredibly well not just the American voice but the American personality that she acts out i’m in shock. bravo!!!!👏👏👏👏👏
THE FUCKING TALENT!!!!!! Her American accent is not only absolutely perfect, but she plays Shiv with such realism, I get wowed watching her in the show. Casting for this show is phenomenal.
Agree!! Watching her do this interview and her nervousness and bit of awkwardness is so different than Shiv. Felt like a different person I was watching.
Amazing actress, amazing show. This was more than I could hope for after GoT broke my heart. Thanks Succession.
That’s a great point. I was so in love with game of thrones too, I remember how I’d get chills during the opening theme on Sunday nights. And it did indeed break my heart going from maybe the best show I’ve ever seen (seasons 1-4) to mediocre but still entertaining (seasons 5-6) to just such a disappointing and infuriating pile of shit (7-8)
Succession has filled that void for me, I get the chills during the opening theme. And each season is brilliant in its own way, and I have all the faith in the world they will not struggle to finish telling their story.
Omg agreed. I can’t even watch the earlier seasons now of GOT.
In hindsight, it should have been obvious that GoT was heading for disaster the moment we knew that it would speed past the books.
also, the woke years rose, with things like being problematic that an evil character would do certain evil things :)) he should only do politically correct evil things :))
@@lucianboar3489 lol what??? the evil (hell even the "good" ones) did problematic evil things to the end. if anything the showrunners made it even more "problematic" than necessary for shock value eg the infamous ramsay and sansa scene in s6 (during the height of the metoo movement too), jaime going back to incest in s8 even though it ruins his arc etc too many things to count
‘Shiv and I are very different.’ And thank the lord for that…
She's mega self-aware🥰😍
She’s right abou the audience holding her to a higher or double standard because she’s a woman, but I think it’s also because when she’s introduced, in the midst of all these characters immediately identifiable as terrible peopl, she is the exception seemingly. She’s the only one to have a semblance of a conscience so when she discards it for selfish reasons it’s all the more of a betrayal to the audience
Exactly! In the begining she's the only one that has a career away from the family bussiness (and she's good at her job) and hasn't done anything terrible so when she starts to do questionable things we feel betrayed, like we've lost her to "the dark side".
Absolutely just bc in the beginning she was seemingly not as bad, people expect her to be nice and likable all the time, they hold her to higher moral standards than anyone else. But when she gets ambitious and openly goes for what she wants and makes no excuses (like her brothers and Tom have been doing since day 1) she suddenly becomes insufferable and ‘the worst’
Yes, I was going to say the same thing. It's true that I expected more from her and (for me) it's not about gender, it's about the fact that she's introduced in large part according to her political orientation, which is (at least on paper) at cross purposes with her own and her families dynastic and power ambitions. So whereas the others are just nakedly assholes, Shiv is actually a hypocrite. It's the hypocrisy that makes people (or at least me) judge her, not the opportunism or power-seeking per se. She's the one with a credible alternative (i.e., serving a political agenda actively opposed to corporate domination for which her family stands) and she rejects it. So it's tragic, for sure, but also especially painful to watch because she was the one shot at a moral(ish) actor. It's the difference between a philistine (one who doesn't know right from wrong) and apostate (one who knows full well but chooses wrong).
@@divinacommedia4000 I think the issue really isn't whether Shiv is nice or likable, but whether she is moral. And the problem isn't *that* she gets ambitious, it's *what* she is ambitious about. It's not the ambition per se, it's that she turns out to ignore her conscience in pursuit of ambition.
No one ever expected any of the others would do anything but so there's not moral outrage. They get a pass because no one ever expected decency from them in the first place.
@@babylonian.captivity yeah I kinda agree about morality but what you said ‘no one expected the others to be decent’ but with shiv those expectations are there and people started to hate on her when she stopped meeting those expectations about how she ‘should be’ or what’s the appropriate way for her to behave’, that’s the whole point about the double standards her character is facing, that’s the point Sarah addressed as well. People were disappointed bc she wasn’t behaving how she was supposed, bc they expected her to be the good one, the moral one but why? Why can’t she go for the company like her brothers? Why can’t she get her hands dirty like everyone has been doing since day 1? Greg also was introduced as good but did some nasty things for the company as well, but he gets a pass.. Also I don’t think she is an hypocrite, she stayed in politics bc she didn’t want to have anything to do with the family business in the past, but the fact that she wants it now doesn’t make her and hypocrite, also just because she had and alternative doesn’t mean that she had to take it
the black turtleneck and bob combination changed the course of history forever
The acting on this show is next level. Very similar to The Big Short where there’s a lot of serious moments but most of the show is like a dark comedy. She is INCREDIBLE as Shiv and Strong and Cox are next level. Kieran is so damn brilliant as well. All SO good!
Wonderful actress in an excellent role
Great actress..we understand her character fully as she portrays her so well.
Sarah Snook was born to be Shiv. She is amazing. I love her so much!
Shiv is my favourite character
Same! Love her, she’s badass
Australia throws out a lot of talent that’s for sure. Didn’t even know she was Australian her American accent was PERFECT!
I don’t believe anyone else could have played this part. Love the show.
I genuinely think Succession is one of the most poignant looks into the ultra-rich in our current organization of the economy; not only does the show weave the macro level of oppression, inequality of wealth, and how the rich constantly step on those below them for the sake of power. It similarly shows the personal side of this oppression; every. single. character in Succession punches down constantly, even if they purportedly want to do the "right" thing for the world. The kind of power they wield and the system they enable makes it nearly impossible for them to do the right thing.
@CZcams Account Way to add nothing to the conversation! You are the platonic ideal of a CZcams commenter lmao
@@jorgemartinez42069 Platonic? 😂
What I like about the show is how it relentlessly critiques and humanizes everyone. A lesser show would've made the Pierces these perfect paragons who call out the Roys to their face and redeem Shiv to take down the patriarchy, but this show is more honest about it, showing how people like the Pierces are philanthropic and all but they're also incredibly indecisive and hands-off about everything, and too boujouse and out-of-touch to accurately say _what kind_ of "fucked up" the Roys are.
@@deniseg4028do you know what the word “platonic” means?
"If I was a billionaire I'll have a chef," now that's the right answer.
This interview shows how talented she really is.
She’s so nervous and a bit awkward but so loveable! Wow, she really transforms into Shiv, like night and day watching her here.
OMG What a lovely person and an excellent excellent actor, I am GRIPPED by Shiv's storyline. Cannot wait to see what happens to her.
she's so warm and lovely, so different from shiv. what a great actress
I just love her face expression.
I'm binging Succession right now and she's easily become one of my favorite actresses already!
Shiv Roy is exactly how her step mother described her during the wedding episode
shiv nation rise !!
I LOVE her calling out how even the fans act like Shiv is worse than the men, simply because they hold her to a higher standard. They're ALL awful.
My God she's nothing like shiv she's a damn hell of an actor 🤯🤯🤯❤️❤️❤️
Only 2 episodes left, still rooting for Shivy
What an actor 💙
I love her and her accent. ❤❤
Sarah gave some of the best acting I've ever seen/heard. Her scene with Logan in
Season 2 Episode 1, was so palpable. 🔥
She's so gorgeous and she really rocked Shiv's style she was breathtaking with her beautiful body and style 😍
Cliche… “Brains, Beauty, Talent”. A deadly combination and my how she has it! We so appreciate all that you give to us.
Love herrrr! ❤
Watching this after the final episode and she called it! 😂
Great actress, amazing job with Succession.
Great interview ... love Shivs character... Also wow she’s an Aussie- superb performance ... such a brilliant show all round its 100% a favourite....

Amazing actor
she played the hell out of shiv!
I like how you can still hear a little bit of her shiv voice.
Shiv is the best character on the show. Love her.
Tom is the best, followed by Roman and Logan.
i'm in love with her, she's so gorgeous
She is an amazing actress.
I saw her in the Kate Winslet movie The Dressmaker and she completely stood out. Stunning
Shiv is my favorite...❤❤❤❤ so strong 😊😊😊😊great SHOW 👍🏽
I think I love her character for the exact same reasons people criticise her.
Shiv is a feminist and plays by her own rules. Men will hate her because she's too strong willed and dominant. The character she plays is not what most males like in women and feel threatened by women like this.
@@brads.7525 I don't think Shiv is a feminist... She has some more liberal leanings (like not wanting waystar to buy out all the news) but not anything particularly feminist about any of her ideas. She's not looking out for other women. She experiences misogyny and speaks out for herself but that's just how it goes when you're a woman and not a complete idiot (like those women who dream of being 50s hausfraus). Feminism would require her to actually care or act in favor of other women besides herself. She's more of a pragmatic survivalist.
There's something feministoc about the depiction of a female antihero who the writers dare to make flawed and at times unlikable but she's not a depiction OF a feminist.
An idealised portrayal of a feminist is someone like Amy Poehler's character in parks and recreation, who actually supports other women. A realistic depiction would be someone like the protagonist of Booksmart who is a feminist but also has limitations, like saying she supports women but actually calls a girl she doesn't like a slut because she's getting laid when the protagonist isn't and wants to.
@@brads.7525 I think the issue men would have with her is how manipulative she is with her husband. Telling your spouse that you want an open marriage on your wedding night is dark. She even calls him her employee to a man she’s about to screw.
Ironically, I totally get Shiv and root for her but my sister _hates_ her ass because she ain't loyal and treats poor Tom like shit; as a guy I find Tom weak and insufferable. Yeah Shiv fucked him up but at the same time she _is_ out of his league.
I like that she's a ruthless killer in sheep's clothing and my sister likes that Tom's a hot mess who's trying his best.
To me the gender angle here is a lot more nuanced and grey than just "girlbosses got haters"
terrific actor, Predestination is my fav film.
She's absolutely stupendous in it.
Love that movie so much 😍😍 was so shocked first time I watched it that I immediately watched it again🤣
She's been great in everything she's done.
@@kaykapumpa9296 very underrated movie
Such a brilliant performance
"Succession" is a darker version of "Arrested Development!"
amazing actress
LOVE HER, LOVE HER , SHES GREAT GOOD ACTRESS
SHES MY FAVORITE IN SUSSESION!!
LOVE YOU SHIVE !!
She’s so beautiful
Ahh!! Love her character sm.
She acts the fuck out of shiv
She's brilliant actor! Love watching this!
Just love her
Predestination 🔥
Such a great show and she’s great on it
She seems so sweet and unassuming. Great acting chops to transform into Shiv.
She spilled, Shiv is undeniably held to higher moral standards, compared to any of the brothers and Logan
Lol…what? Do you even watch the show?
@@kvps27 all the characters thinks Roman of all people should be CEO rather than Shiv. Like...
@@kvps27 did u even watch the interview? Sarah said it herself and she’s completely right. You should pay more attention.
I honestly think that Shiv lost her credibility as a Successor when she embarrassed her father in The Tern Haven's Dinner by trying to force him to announce her as the next CEO, that was a very childish move, what went between her and Logan was in private not even in front of her brothers let alone bluntly spill it in front a potential sellers, Logan will be stupid if he let this behavior go and chose her at the end
How could she be held to higher moral standards? She literally scared a rape victim out of pressing charges AND asked her husband if she could be in an open relationship the night of her wedding. These two things are by far the least justifiable and most hurtful actions of any of these horrible characters
Gorgeous woman, really showed her acting talent in the last episode
She's Dope! I'm such a huge fan, My favorite character on the show.
Shiv is a wonderful character! Perfectly played by Ms Snook. I love all the characters - amazing cast. SO much talent! (I have to say my favourite character is Roman - perfect douche bag)
Shiv's wardrobe is amazing. It's exactly my taste in that environment.
'Wanna-bes' take note: ZERO labels and logos. _That is CLASS_
she is so lovely and so pretty adopt me pleaseeee
Shiv is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
her pointing out the misogyny shiv faces in the show was therapeutic for me 😅 so many times i’ve watched one of the roys say something sexist and i’m screaming “SPEAK UP SHIV” 😂
Absolutely adorable! …. ❤
OMG LOVE HER!
She is TOO humble! Literally not giving herself enough credit for the great work she’s done with her character. Why. Are. Women. Like. This!!!
she's such a sweetheart
She’s a gem 💎
She's can perfectly play Jodie Foster in a Jodie Foster Biopic😳
Good call
if she lost half her body weight. Maybe.
She has a beutiful smile, I love it!
shes a crazy good actor
she’s stunning
I love her hooded eyes so much. Makes her stand out in the sea of Hollywood actresses who get blepharoplasty
she looks heavenly, divine
I'm here for all your outfits. 💞
Team Shiv!!! Love her!!!
shiv always looks like shes the smartest and the most capable but she always fucks up at the last moment
She's so cute i died
This is one of the first times I’ve seen an actor seem completely different to their character on screen, just look at the actors that play Tom and Greg.
She's so beautiful
Love the show. Great actress.
