Kieran Culkin’s middle sibling is full of bravado going into episode 9 \u2013 but could it be his downfall? <\/p>
Never in the history of Succession<\/a> has Roman Roy felt so self-assured.<\/p>\n The middle child from Logan\u2019s second marriage and perpetual jokester took on a darker edge in season 4 episode 8<\/a>, pushing forcefully for ATN to call the election for the controversial Jeryd Mencken, despite thousands of ballots being lost in a fire in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n The episode ended with Roman bolstered by his support of Mencken, getting a call from him and saying \u201cPresident calling\u201d, with Mencken telling him the two of them will \u201cgo far\u201d.<\/p>\n That confidence looks set to only raise further in episode 9, where he is preparing to give a eulogy on behalf of the family at Logan\u2019s funeral. In the preview for the episode, Roman can be seen practising his speech in the mirror, saying that Logan was a \u201cgreat man\u201d and asking: \u201cDon\u2019t I perhaps remind you of him just a little?\u201d<\/p>\n
