Nicholas Braun, star of ‘Succession,’ pleads not guilty to DUI charges and is ordered to abstain from alcohol.

Nicholas Braun, the 37-year-old actor best known for his role as Greg Hirsch on the acclaimed HBO series “Succession,” has entered a not guilty plea following his recent arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) in New Hampshire. The incident occurred late on August 29, resulting in a misdemeanor charge for DUI as well as a violation for operating his vehicle without headlights. Authorities reported that Braun spent approximately one hour in Carroll County Jail before being released on his own recognizance.

During his court appearance, Braun was also issued an order to refrain from consuming alcohol, narcotics, and controlled substances as the legal proceedings move forward. This directive underscores the seriousness of his situation and reflects a proactive approach from the court system in addressing potential repeat offenses.

Braun, who hails from Long Island, New York, has made a name for himself beyond the realm of acting. He is the co-owner of Ray’s Bar, a popular venue frequented by celebrities in New York City. His portrayal of Greg on “Succession” contributed significantly to the show’s success, with the series garnering a total of 19 Primetime Emmy Awards over its four-season run from 2018 to 2023. Braun himself received three nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his performance, which has been widely praised by both critics and audiences.

In addition to “Succession,” Braun has appeared in several Disney films, including “Sky High,” “Minutemen,” and “Princess Protection Program.” More recently, he starred in the 2024 film “Saturday Night” and was featured alongside Dakota Johnson in “Splitsville,” which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and is presently screening in theaters.

Although Braun was scheduled to make a return to court on a Tuesday, reports indicate that this arraignment was canceled at the last minute. The reason for this cancellation has not been disclosed. Legal experts suggest that the trial may not commence until at least January, extending the timeline for Braun’s legal challenges. As of now, the actor has not publicly addressed his recent arrest or the ongoing situation in his legal affairs.
