  common critiques of jeremy often boil down to blatant anti-intellectualism. we're so used to being fed upbeat, scripted celebrity interviews that when an actor is actually invested in his craft, is honest about his method, and speaks with eloquence and passion, people interpret it as being overly self-involved and pretentious.

  Calling Jeremy pretentious is so weird in all his interviews he seems extremely humble and pleasant

  Sincerity is seen as performative to people who are too nihilistic to feel anything besides apathy and irony. It’s literally his job to feel things as genuinely as possible so as to portray his character’s emotions with humanity and realism.

  Let us be honest, he is simply too smart for Hollywood. That is why people consider him pretentious or pompous. They simply don’t understand what he is talking about. They have no idea what “dramaturgically”means, they’ve never heard of Glenn Gould, they have no idea who Chekov is, they’ve never read any of the books he mentioned in his interviews. He is not pretentious, he is simply intelligent and dedicated. Which is a shock in the modern world.

  His performance in Succession was phenomenal. He’s great at what he does and he respects his craft. I think those calling him pretentious just want to bring him down to their level. Great analysis!

  Succession felt too real because of his performance as Kendall. It really elevated every scene he was in and pushed everyone else in that scene to keep up with him.

  Imagine being so passionate and skilled and people with a fraction of the talent mock you. He's a great actor!

  I slowly realized that I had seen the man in at least a dozen movies and never ever recognized him outside the character played each time.<br><br>He&apos;s definitely doing something right.

  What have we come to that when you are actually serious and motivated people label it as pompous? I admire him. He made the entire show richer and more impactful.

  I think there’s a genuine annoyance when hard workers work hard, and then do well. &nbsp;That yes, he was blessed to know his passion early, but it was through his sheer will and EFFORT to lead in a series that will be beloved for decades. His admittance to being uncomfortable when interviewed and unprepared is sympathetic enough, let alone knowing his background as a constant outsider.<br><br>Appreciate you making this video!

  He reminds me of Adam Driver, with the attention to their craft, the all-in dynamic, the devotion to, and respect for, the work, craft and characters. Both not coming from Hollywood, both being considered oddities. Both being very thoughtful and eloquent.
