For many TV lovers, Sarah Snook is a recognizable face.
As Shiv, Snook delivers a perfect American accent as she embodies the only daughter of mogul Logan Roy.
She even picked up anEmmynomination for the part.
And by the sounds of things, it’s high time Snook’s talent was appreciated.
I can’t think of anybody better, she’s just incredible.
I adore her, she’s lovely."
Want to learn more about the woman behind Shiv Roy?
Here is the untold truth of Sarah Snook.
I want to be able to do that as well.'"
It sounds like Snook has plenty of Australian actors to look up to.
In fact, the hit show has made Snook a household name and an Emmy nominee.
It’s hard to imagine a world in which Snook didn’t play Shiv.
But, it turns out, she wasn’t always that keen on the role.
“She’s very different from me, so I think I was intimidated,” Snook went on.
Luckily, Snook decided to give it her best shot in the audition.
One thing that Snook does want is a full life that doesn’t just revolve around acting.
“How can you pretend to be other humans if you’re not being one yourself?”
Sounds like Snook is a much better person than her character on “Succession” at any rate!
It wasn’t until 2012 that she landed her first major role in a film.
“This definitely is a huge highlight.
It’s like It’s my first feature film.
Shortly after that role, Snook landed her first American movie with “Jessabelle.”
For Mara, the role was a huge stepping stone.
However, it turns out, the career-defining role almost went to Sarah Snook instead.
Apparently, a woman in the industry who eventually became her manager got her an audition for the part.
“I kept getting further and further along in that process,” Snook recalled.
As Snook put it, that helped her “get a foot in the door.”
For Sarah Snook, who plays Shiv on the show, this presented a bit of a problem.
“I do like her, I have to like her,” she said.
“I love her and I’ve learned a lot from her.”
And while Shiv may have a controversial moral code, Snook has taken some things away from the experience.
However, you may not know where her family came from before they landed in Australia.
Eventually, she ended up in New Zealand.
Her grandmother then left her daughter (Snook’s mother) money, which she used to travel.
It was on a trip to Papua New Guinea that her mother met Snook’s father.
The pair “bred these three adventurous women,” as Snook put it.
By the sounds of things, Snook comes from a long line of globetrotters!
““She goes, ‘You all right?'”
Snook recalled, and then she left.
Sounds pretty supernatural to us!
She went on to explain that for Culkin, being mean was just his way of showing love.
No wonder these two have such great chemistry on screen.
When she saw her sister “fly” on stage, Snook was blown away.
It sounds like Snook has been destined to act from the beginning!
Well, it isn’t easy, especially since the character is so different from her.
“It’s something about entitlement,” the actress toldBackstage.
Once Snook realized that Shiv had insecurities beneath her ultra-confident exterior, she found a way to play her.
As Sarah Snook told theNew Zealand Herald, it wasn’t always easy filming during a pandemic.
So, Snook proposed (viaDaily Mail).
In another interview withVogue Australia, Snook went into more detail about their relationship and wedding.
However, once they fell in love, everything changed.
The pair got married in Snook’s back garden with only a few witnesses.
Talk about a romantic story!
In an interview withHarper’s Bazaar, Snook explained how the newlyweds settled down.
Snook is unsure when the right time will be.
“When’s the right time to have kids?
It’s the age-old question for women and there is no answer,” she mused.
While Snook does want a family, she knows that she’ll need to balance career with raising kids.
It’s pretty amazing that Snook refuses to conform to Hollywood’s beauty standards.
