Succession: Wait, Was That Jamie Chung?
In addition to being crushingly sad, however, Connor’s brief meltdown also happens to feature one of Succession‘s most random cameos yet. Playing Connor and Willa’s unnamed wedding coordinator is none other than former reality TV star and current successful actress Jamie Chung.
Chung first came to prominence as one of the seven strangers who “stopped being polite and started getting real” on season 14 of MTV’s The Real World, titled The Real World: San Diego. Ultimately, that season of The Real World would end up accommodating eight strangers, since Frankie Abernathy left midway through the season (and tragically died two years later at age 25 from complications of cystic fibrosis). While several former Real World castmembers have tried to enter the acting game following their appearance in the long-running reality franchise, Chung has been among the most successful few alongside Mike “The Miz” Mizanin and Karamo Brown.
The performer has some truly impressive work on her acting resume, including lengthy arcs on HBO’s Lovecraft Country and Showtime’s Dexter: New Blood. She’s also contributed to several genre-friendly projects like Star Wars: Visions, Big Hero 6, and Batman: Death in the Family.
It’s no wonder then that Jamie Chung would make an appearance on Succession. What is somewhat surprising, however, is what a small appearance it is. Chung’s role as an unnamed wedding coordinator amounts to little more than a cameo. During her roughly 10 seconds onscreen, Chung’s character merely mumbles “yes, ok” to Connor’s bizarre request and we’ll leave it up to SAG-AFTRA as to whether that even constitutes a speaking role.
