Brian Cox Is Spreading a Wild Logan Roy Conspiracy Theory The actor cheekily cast some doubt on last night's blockbuster Succession on the show's official podcast. Story:
During the interview, Cox heaped praise on the series, especially its writing and the vision of creator Jesse Armstrong. But despite all that, he stressed that he never actually watched the series.
“I love the doing,” he said of getting to act and make the series. “The doing is the main thing. The watching is a sidebar, the watching is for the public, it’s not for me.” To hammer home his point, he noted that during the recent season premiere event, he “went and consumed several tequilas while the new episode was being played, and I was much happier doing that than watching my acting.”
Cox also spoke about a few of Logan’s big final scenes, including a poignant dinner with his bodyguard Colin and a rally-the-troops speech at the Fox News-esque ATN in episode two. In the latter, Logan tries to spur his employees by calling them “pirates,” and Cox noted a nice bit of synchronicity: Both the actor, and the character Logan, were born in Dundee, Scotland, which is also where the infamous pirate Captain Kidd was born.
Cox then added, “I think that’s Logan curse — he’d love to be a pirate, he feels he’s a pirate. But circumstance makes him definitely not a pirate. But he’s got a pirate spirit. And that’s why, probably, his life has come to an end. Because he hasn’t done what he should’ve done, which was to be a real pirate in the tradition of Captain Kidd. … He’s a tragic character, it’s a great tragic role. It’s one of the great roles, and you can’t get around it.
Then, towards the end of the interview, Cox touched on the beating, broken heart of the show — Logan’s equally tragic relationship with, and deep love for, his “loser” kids.
