Alan Ruck (‘Succession’): Emmys 2023 episode submission revealed

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Alan Ruck is entering the “Succession” episode “Rehearsal” as his 2023 Emmy Award submission for Best Drama Supporting Actor. “Rehearsal” aired on April 2, 2023, and is the second episode of the HBO drama’s fourth and final season.

In “Rehearsal,” after Shiv (Sarah Snook) discovers that Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) is following Logan’s (Brian Cox) playbook, she, Kendall (Jeremy Strong) and Roman (Kieran Culkin) consider backing Sandi (Hope Davis) and Stewy’s (Arian Moayed) aggressive play on the Matsson (Alexander Skarsgard) deal. Meanwhile, Logan gives an impromptu pep talk to the ATN newsroom…and outsources a tricky conversation with Kerry (Zoe Winters). Later, Connor (Ruck) tries to make the most of his rehearsal dinner when Willa (Justine Lupe) goes AWOL. The episode was written by Tony Roche and Susan Soon He Stanton and directed by Becky Martin.
