‘Succession’ Stars James Cromwell and Nicholas Braun to Reunite at PETA Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony
variety.comJaden Thompson “Succession” co-stars James Cromwell and Nicholas Braun will reunite on Saturday, Jan. 6, at the grand opening of PETA’s Los Angeles event space, the James Cromwell Empathy Center.
Cromwell is known as an outspoken animal rights activist. He will do the honor of cutting the ribbon at the ceremony, which takes place the same day he is nominated for a Creative Arts Award Emmy.
Cromwell and Braun starred as Uncle Ewan and Cousin Greg, respectively, on HBO’s “Succession,” which ended with a bang in 2023 with its fourth and final season.
Their characters have a contentious relationship onscreen, as Cousin Greg longs to fit in with the Roy family and Uncle Ewan looks down upon him, threatening to pull his inheritance. “There is no successor to James Cromwell — he is the king of activism for animals and others,” said Lisa Lange, senior vice president of PETA, in a statement. “Animals have a fierce and lifelong ally in James, and PETA is happy to honor him by naming a building after him for his relentless advocacy for all animals threatened with exploitation, torment, and slaughter.” Cromwell is an honorary board director at PETA.
