“I just adored every second playing the weird and wonderful human grease stain that is Tom Wambsgans,” said Matthew Macfadyfen as he took the Golden Globe for Male Supporting Actor TV category. For those who didn’t watch Succession, the joke is a jab at his character and funny because it brilliantly captures the essence of Tom, as well as every other character in the show. It’s not an easy show to watch because it’s about a family who consistently back stabs each other in their efforts to gain power and although the story takes place in the very unrelatable space of the ultra rich, it somehow reaches the depths of many of our souls. Because, as it turns out, we resonate with being weird, wonderful, human, and when we are honest with ourselves, grease stains.
At the risk of sounding trite, my first response to this was ‘I love you for writing this!’ For the honesty in your self reflection ; for the internal struggle, the willingness to entertain having it wrong. For admitting to what the gray can actually contain. Thank you.
