“This one was a surprise for me,” admits Hope Davis about hearing the news that she had earned an Emmy Award nomination for her performance on HBO’s “Succession.” The actress joined the third season of the drama series as Sandi Furness, the daughter of a business tycoon who is waging a hostile takeover for Logan Roy’s (Brian Cox) company Waystar Royco. The nominee heard the news while in production on the second season of HBO’s “Perry Mason” and describes the recognition as “a little extra something” on top of the “treat” of being on the show. Watch our exclusive video interview above.
Just prior to receiving the call to join “Succession,” Davis had binge-watched the first two seasons. At that time, creator Jesse Armstrong had only proposed one episode to the actress, but even in that small sample she felt that her character was “so interesting” and “so fun on the page.
