Brian Cox plays Logan Roy in ‘Succession’, series with 27 Emmy nominations
Despite having already played several characters in cinema and theater, Brian Cox believe it was Succession which made him lose his anonymity. “I lost my anonymity and realized that this was the most important thing for me. I have never experienced anything like it,” he said in an interview with The Guardian (via Variety).
I mean, you ask for success at work, and you get it, and then you have to deal with the consequences. I’ve always valued my privacy, but it’s gone. I was very lucky to have her for so long. You know, I’ve been doing this for over 60 years. And it finally came to an end.
Cox played Logan Roy in the series that leads the Emmy Awards this year, with 27 nominations in the awards. Logan owned one of the largest media empires and, over the course of four seasons, he mediated a dispute between his own children — who are fighting among themselves to assume his legacy.
Such was the fame of the family plot, that the Los Angeles Times published an obituary for Logan Roy.
Now, the actor returns to the theater stage with the play The Scorein Oliver Cottondirected by Trevor Nunn. Brian will reprise the role of Johann Sebastian Bachalso played in the film The Singer of St Thomas’s (1984).
