Brian Cox may have more in common with Logan Roy than one would expect. In a recent interview pegged to his new book, which has made headlines for its frank takes on other actors and filmmakers he’s encountered in his decades-long career (Johnny Depp is “so overrated;” Spike Lee is “one of the best directors”), Cox pondered his similarities to the vicious patriarch at the center of the hit HBO show Succession.
“I mean, the similarity between me and Logan Roy is that we do share the disappointment in the human experiment,” he said, before referring to the Trump Era as an example of his own disappointment. But, he added, Logan “really thinks that we’re doomed, whereas I feel the opposite.”
