TasteTest: While Succession may be over(-ish), j_smithcameron is busier than ever. She spoke to brkmrn about the death of you-know-who and what's ahead for her
may be over, J. Smith-Cameron is busier than ever. “It’s quite a palette,” she tells the Cut of her stacked résumé. First, there was her cameo in an episode of, which follows the fallout of the Branch Davidian cult’s 51-day standoff with the ATF in Waco, Texas, while also going back in time to when David Koresh was just Vernon Howell, a young man living on a Christian commune run by a woman named Lois Roden.
Well, I mean, it’s awful. First of all, we were all shocked and worried when they decided to write Logan dying in episode three. But he has that stroke at the very beginning of the whole story. People don’t realize this, it’s only a year ago in the story. In season one we had Thanksgiving, and now it’s election time of year, so it’s almost Thanksgiving again. It’s like early November, right? About a year. That’s four seasons over six years.
There’s been a lot of conversation each season about how the characters dress. Which character do you think has the bestNaomi Pierce. She’s sort of an intellectual, fabulously wealthy person. And it doesn’t hurt looking like Annabelle Dexter-Jones. Tabitha, also. I think they would’ve had more of Caitlin Fitzgerald in this story. But Caitlin’s married to an Irish man, has a baby now and was busy doing other things, but she always looks stylish.
I liked the wig. The real Lois Roden didn’t look anything like me or the way I look in the story, but we were trying to come up with an equivalent distinct look. She has a sort of sexual relationship with David Koresh, who’s not David Koresh. We thought that maybe one thing that was really true about her is that she was a sort of feminist before her time. We found that the wig looked not only like someone who might live in a commune somewhere, but a little Gloria Steinem-y with my glasses on.
