Charges Dropped After Toxicology Clears Braun
Nicholas Braun, acclaimed for his Emmy-nominated turn as Cousin Greg on the HBO series Succession, has been cleared of DUI charges stemming from his August arrest in New Hampshire. Police had initially charged the 37-year-old actor with “DUI — impairment” and “operating without lights,” but court records now confirm those charges have been dropped after toxicology reports showed Braun’s blood alcohol concentration was within the legal limit.
Arrest and Not-Guilty Plea
The arrest took place on August 30, when Braun was pulled over in Moultonborough while driving at night with his headlights off. Braun pleaded not guilty in September and was released from jail on his own recognizance, with an initial court date set and later canceled as lab results favored his defense.
Braun’s Career and Recent Projects
Best known for his quirky, fan-favorite role on Succession—which ended in 2023 with 19 Emmy awards—Braun has also starred in Disney films like Sky High and Princess Protection Program. He recently played both Andy Kaufman and Jim Henson in a film about the birth of Saturday Night Live, showcasing his versatility beyond comedy and drama.
Moving Forward After Legal Resolution
Representatives for Nicholas Braun have not commented, but the actor can now look ahead to new projects as renewed interest in his career follows his legal exoneration. Fans and industry observers noted the quick dismissal, highlighting the role of careful investigation and due process.
