'Succession' star J. Smith-Cameron takes us behind the scenes of Gerri Kellman's boardroom power plays in season 3.
, in Italy, J. Smith-Cameron—who plays Gerri Kellman, Waystar Royco’s general counsel—walked down romantic cobblestone streets in Tuscany, beneath that perfect turquoise sky… and got heatstroke.
Gerri is the wry, reasonable right hand of CEO Logan Roy . Everybody around Logan wants the top job, but Gerri is not so naked with her ambition. If she has an endgame, she keeps it to herself. So, what does Gerri really want? Smith-Cameron gives a very in-character answer: thorough but measured, and only strategically revealing.Graeme Hunter
Though we don’t know yet where she’s headed, it is safe to assume there’s strategy behind her every move. In this week’s episode, “Lion in the Meadow,” Gerri imparts this counsel to Roman: “‘How does this advance my position?’ You have to be thinking about that 24/7.” It was, she says, “a happy accident” that became a character trademark. “Those withering glances and the eye-rolling started right from the audition, because I had to make sense of these lines that I don't know whether they would've, on purpose, given me.”
“Nowadays when I talk to Jesse about something,” she says. “He goes, ‘Well, remember, by now you're the world's authority on Gerri Kellman.’”cameras keep rolling. “[They like] watching the characters behave with each other in their habitat,” Smith-Cameron says. “Because they seem to get ideas… [and] really write for our rhythms.”
