BRIAN COX: Succession & saying goodbye to Logan Roy

As fans around the world follow the fourth and final season of Succession, we seized the chance to spend time with the brilliant actor Brian Cox.

This award-winning series has captured the public imagination with its witty and scathing take on dysfunctional one percenters. The news from creator Jesse Armstrong that Succession was ending upset many but, while Brian loved his time on the show, he found some of the attention overwhelming. He's ready to leave Logan Roy behind and turn his talents to a new film set in a distillery in the Scottish Highlands and a play about Johann Sebastian Bach.

During this conversation, Brian reflects on his childhood in Dundee and the recent loss of his beloved sister Betty; social mobility and the wealth divide today; understanding (and leaving behind) a character like Logan Roy, and the perils of entitlement.
