And the Winner Is...
MATTHEW MCFADYEN
Succession (HBO)
I've always appreciated Matthew Mcfadyen's performance in Succession and knew it was good but truthfully I didn't always feel invested in Tom's storylines until the fourth season. After his cliffhanger move at the end of the third season, Mcfadyen was on fire through the entire fourth season right up to the very end and his pivotal role in the finale (and title of the show). Mcfadyen did a great job of portraying a character who is pretty clear about his intentions, however shallow they may be. And he was excellent in the "Connor's Wedding" episode as the eyes and ears to the siblings via cell phone. As always, he very capably could do dramatic scenes (his fight with Shiv on the balcony) and comedic scenes (pretty much anything with Greg). Mcfadyen is an expert at both.
Thoughts on the Rest of the Nominees:
Even with Kieran Culkin moving to lead, Mcfadyen was joined by two Succession castmates in this category. Alan Ruck was an underrated player through all of Succession with a lot of comic relief but also some surprisingly vulnerable moments. Alexander Skarsgard took on a bigger role this season and helped drive a lot of the story. Beyond Succession, Andre Braugher joined the cast for the final season of The Good Fight and seemed to relish playing a bombastic character after his long (excellent) run on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Jonathan Pryce brought a lot of heart and warmth to Prince Philip on The Crown. Rufus Sewell had fantastic chemistry with Keri Russell in The Diplomat and Zach Gilford made us all forget about Matt Saracen with a chilling role on a better than expected Criminal Minds: Evolution.
Tomorrow: Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series!
