The good news is, we don’t have to wait for him to grace our screens again, as Rasche appears in the new movie About My Father alongside Robert De Niro. Succession is not Rasche’s first iconic project, nor even his first with Jesse Armstrong I first came across his work in the political comedy In The Loop - which Armstrong worked on - and of course, Veep. This time, he was visiting his grandchildren and gushing over them. The first time we spoke he was coming in from his garden, looking like a dapper LL Bean ad in a flannel and overalls.
In real life, Rasche is as whip-smart, dry and hilarious as Karl but without the moral ambiguity.
I was lucky enough to cover Succession many times during its four season run, including a conversation with Rasche alongside Peter Friedman to discuss their roles as Karl and Frank - who I dubbed the show’s “power couple” (an assessment I stand by). Me? I called up David Rasche, or as you might know him, Karl Muller. If the meme and fan accounts created in honor of the show are any indication, clips of Gerri and Roman set to ABBA’s “Does Your Mother Know” aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Some of us are doing rewatches or creating fancams on TikTok. But who’s counting?Īnd we’re all coping in our own ways - getting our fixes from different sources.
It’s been exactly 43 days since Succession ended - six Sundays since we watched Tom and Shiv in their psychosexual tango, playing bitey-bitey and flicking earlobes, since we watched Kendall scream (incorrectly, of course) about being the “eldest boy” and since we watched Roman install a fascist president.
