 The Iranian-American actor is best known for playing Stewy in Succession, but he's also a Tony-nominated thesp who dabbles in the Marvel Universe. He tells Metro about life after Succession, predicts which character will get a spin-off and chats about his new romcom, You Hurt My Feelings. How's your Succession withdrawal going? I mean, you know… bad! Do you keep in touch with the cast? There are still group texts and a lot of stuff going on. This morning I texted with Dagmara (Domińczyk, who plays Karolina) and J Smith-Cameron (Gerri) and sent a message to Sarah (Snook, who plays Shiv Roy). That's a bummer of the whole thing. We don't get to hang like that again. I've just been doing A Doll's House with Jessica Chastain on Broadway and they all came to see it. Arian performed with Jessica Chastain on Broadway in A Doll's House where he won a Tony Award (Picture: Jenny Anderson/Getty for Tony Awards Productions) How much like Stewy are you? It's funny because most people who know me here in New York are like, 'God, Stewy is literally the opposite of you', because I run this non-profit theatre, art and education company and I still teach in high schools. But there are some things that are very similar. I love his ability to be very resilient. I think of Stewy as a loyal friend to Kendall, though I know a lot of people don't and I think I'm loyal – very loyal. But I don't loads of drugs in the bathroom. Speaking of which, what 'cocaine' do you snort on the show? Assuming it wasn't real! Arian doesn't think he's like Stewy in most ways (Picture: HBO) I mean, it's Succession – so it was only the best stuff: A-grade cocaine! No! It's some sort of vitamin mixed with some type of sugar, or something like that. That was the same day we did the doughnut scenes, and so I was licking doughnuts and eating them and then doing the cocaine scene. So maybe I was actually high – but on sugar.
