YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"Succession" swept the drama category at this year's Emmy Awards, so we're revisiting a 2022 episode with actor Brian Cox, who plays ruthless business tycoon Logan Roy. Cox was nominated for Lead Actor in a Drama Series, but lost to his costar Kieran Culkin.
Of his character in the series, Cox says that Roy is one of the most extraordinary roles he's ever played: "He is a misanthrope [who] is very disappointed with the human experiment." We talk with the Scottish actor about the musicality of his voice, why he doesn't practice method acting, and growing up in poverty.
