Missing Brian Cox's portrayal of Logan Roy in ‘Succession’? Here’s everything to know about actor's next projects
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: If there’s one big takeaway from Brian Cox’s playing Logan Roy is his innate ability to shout “F**k Off” to any and everyone who tries to undermine him. Cox is scary, and intriguing, like a volcano that will erupt at a moment’s notice and destroy everyone in his vicinity. He’s a corporate raider who wants everything under the sun except the happiness of his children. With over 50 years of acting experience and innumerable credits to his name, Cox has managed to have a successful career long before ‘Succession’ even came to him.
The Jesse Armstrong show about the lives of an ultra-rich, billionaire media family was a compliment to the already established and revered acting career of Cox. A Primetime Emmy award, a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and two Laurence Olivier Awards are just a few accolades that Cox has been bestowed with after his years of outstanding performances. For now, Cox has left the world of ‘Succession’ behind him, but what follows is a remarkable string of projects that can outshine any competitor, such as Joshua Caldwell's ‘Mending the Line’, Tom Kirby’s ‘The Glove', and much awaited ‘The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim', to name a few.
