Succession Star Nicholas Braun Arrested for DUI in Texas

Nicholas Braun, best known for his beloved role as Cousin Greg in HBO's critically acclaimed series Succession, found himself in legal trouble in late January. The 35-year-old actor was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in Texas, an incident that quickly garnered headlines.

According to official records, Braun was taken into custody on January 22.

The arrest took place in Marble Falls, Texas, a location that put the star in the Burnet County Jail. He was subsequently booked on charges related to driving while intoxicated, marking an unexpected turn for the Emmy-nominated actor.

Following his arrest, Braun posted a $2,000 bond, a standard procedure for such charges, and was released from custody.

The incident occurred shortly after Braun had attended a wedding in the area—that of his Succession co-star, Carlin James. James, who played a background character in the show, celebrated his nuptials, which Braun was reportedly a part of, leading up to the evening's events.

Braun's portrayal of Greg Hirsch, the often-awkward and ever-scheming cousin of the Roy family, earned him widespread recognition and an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

His career has seen a steady rise since his breakout role, making this legal entanglement a notable moment for fans and industry observers alike.

Details surrounding the specific circumstances of the arrest, beyond the charge of DUI, have not been extensively publicized. As is typical in such cases, legal proceedings are expected to follow, though no further public statements from Braun or his representatives have been made regarding the incident at this time.

The news serves as a stark reminder that even well-known figures are subject to the same laws and consequences.
