Hiam Abbass has nearly 100 acting credits to her name: artsy indie movies, French TV dramas, Moroccan horror flicks; she’s appeared on Hulu’s Ramy and in the movies Munich and Blade Runner 2049. But if you know her from one thing, it’s probably Succession, the massive hit TV show on HBO. Hiam plays Marcia, Logan Roy’s wife. On a show famous for its craven, manipulative, sometimes frightening characters, Marcia dominates the lineup in all three categories. Most recently, though, Hiam’s performed in a new movie – it’s called Gaza, Mon Amour. It’s Palestine’s submission to this year’s Academy Awards, and it’s pretty much everything Succession isn’t: it’s a romcom. It’s slow-paced. It’s sweet in parts, sad and scary in others. It’s a really unique film. Hiam joins us to talk about the movie, growing up in Nazareth, how she got the role to play Marcia on Succession, and whether or not she thinks Marcia loves her husband, Logan Roy. Succession intrigue! Don’t miss it!
