Matthew Macfayden to follow up Succession Emmy by playing President Garfield's ASSASSIN on new Netflix show with Michael Shannon


Macfayden is two weeks off an Emmy victory, having won his third gong for best supporting actor in a drama for his fan favorite role as Tom Wambsgans on the acclaimed series Succession.

Guiteau was an unhinged preacher who briefly entered a religious sex cult before developing a fixation on obtaining a diplomatic posting to Vienna or Paris. The bizarre story will now be dramatized on the Netflix show Death By Lightning starring Macfayden opposite Michael Shannon (left) as Garfield (right), Deadline reports. He featured on the acclaimed series as Tom Wambsgans, who marries his way into Logan Roy's media dynasty and, despite initially appearing gawky and naïve, blossoms into one of the most ruthless and effective manipulators in the family.
