Emmy winner Sarah Snook appeared on CBS Sunday Morning March 16 to discuss The Picture of Dorian Gray, with more than a few revelations in her pocket.

The first? The pronunciation of her own name.

For years, Snook's last name has been pronounced by her fellow artists, her fans, and every award granting body calling out her name as though it rhymed with book or look. Now, Snook is setting the record straight; the double O in her name should be pronounced as a long vowel sound, like in the word zoo.

The second? She did not initially want to audition for the role of Shiv Roy in the television series Succession, which would launch her to international acclaim. Snook struggled to identify with the extreme wealth and beauty Roy represented. "There was nothing in myself that I could see as reflective or accessible in that character."

The third, of course, is tied to The Picture of Dorian Gray and its cine-theatrical approach, blending Snook and a fleet of camera operators to accomplish the production. To learn more about how Snook has embedded the presence of a camera into Gray's sense of self, about her early career beginnings as a fairy party performer for children, and how Snook and director Kip Williams are "eating the elephant" one day at a time, check out the video above.

The new adaptation of the Oscar Wilde novel of the same name began performances March 10 at the Music Box Theatre, with opening night set for March 27. The work comes to New York following a sold-out run in London's West End in 2024, where Snook earned an Olivier Award for her performance.
