‘Succession’: Brian Cox defines the acting method of a fellow series member as “fucking annoying”

‘Succession’ is one of the best series on HBO Max. Now fans are waiting for the fourth season of the series, which will arrive on HBO Max on March 27.

There is certainly a desire to know what happens with the Roy family. It is already with this four seasons in which the actors have shared a lot and many emotions and situations together. And they don’t always have to coincide when it comes to work. That is the case of Brian Cox, who is tasked with playing the patriarch, Logan Roy. Now the actor has taken it upon himself to “give some advice”, not paternally, but as a companion, to the actor Jeremy Strong, who is in charge of playing his son Kendall.

Cox hasn’t been shy about repressing his disdain for Strong’s acting style. “it’s fucking annoying“, has settled Cox to Town & Country. “Don’t keep me going.” The actor qualified that he considers Strong “a very good actor” and shared that the rest of the cast, which includes names like Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, Nicholas Braun and Matthew MacFadyen, view the Emmy winner’s process well. However, he added: “Knowing a character and what they do is just one part of the skill set.” “He feels like if he went anywhere else he would lose itCox continued. “But he’s not going to do it! Strong has talent. He has fucking talent. When you have the gift, celebrate it. He goes back to your trailer and starts smoking weed, you know?”

At the same time as Cox’s interview, there was also a publication an interview in GQ to Jeremy Strong, in which the actor addresses his fictional father’s earlier concerns about his intense acting style.

“Everyone has the right to express their feelingsStrong told the outlet.Brian Cox, for example, has earned the right to say what he wants. There was no need to address that or damage control… I have a lot of love for my brothers and my father on the show. And it’s like a family in the sense that, and I’m sure they would say this too, you don’t always like the people you love. I always respect them“.

In general, Strong noted that he prefers to isolate himself from his co-stars so as not to be too casual on set. “It would be one thing if he was working on ‘Friends’ or something,” he explained. “I worked on a Guy Ritchie movie and I approached it very differently.”

Cox previously expressed concerns about Strong’s all-or-nothing approach while visiting Late Night With Seth Meyers in December 2021. “I worry about what it does to him,” she said at the time. “Because you’re dealing with all this stuff every day. You can’t live in it. And you wear yourself out.”

However, Strong has acknowledged that he does not plan to change his work process anytime soon.”Am I going to adjust or compromise the way I have worked my whole life and what I believe in? I have not the slightest doubt about it. I’m still going to do whatever it takes to serve whatever. That’s not to say it’s the same as trampling other people. It has to do with autonomous concentration. It’s a very lonely thing. I think there is very little impact on others, except for what they might want to project onto him and how that might make them feel.“.
