“Succession” peaked last Sunday and fans are still commenting on the ending.

After a long career brian cox reached its peak with the role of media mogul Logan Roy. Here are some little-known facts about the Scottish actor.

brian cox During his childhood he suffered several family traumas. When he was 8 years old, his father Charles McArdle Campbell Cox, died of pancreatic cancer. After this tragedy, his mother had to Mary Ann Guillerline, He had nervous breakdowns and, as the eldest son, was solely responsible for his three sisters.

To overcome these difficulties, Cox found an outlet in acting: “I think it’s a childhood defense mechanism that made me say, ‘I can’t handle this, so I’m just going to walk away.'”

During his teenage years, Brian Cox worked as a cleaner at the Dundee Repertory Theatre.

Beginnings are never easy and always require great sacrifices to achieve desired goals. That was clear to Cox, who left school at the age of 15 and began working at the Dundee Repertory Theater, cleaning the stage and delivering orders sent to him, a messenger of sorts.

The now-famous actor came from a poor family, but instilled in him a “sense of survival” that was not an obstacle but always a nudge to achieve what he wanted. As he revealed in the Telegraph, the theater was his comfort and his bed.

Cox sent his endorsement to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Emmys.

In October 2021, the British actor released “Put the rabbit in the hat” (“Put the rabbit in the hat”) in the United Kingdom and United States. In his biography he tells the most important episodes of his life, from his beginnings in Dundee to his career as an international star.

After telling everything that had happened, Brian fell into a depression. He felt that the book could “end” his life. “I thought, ‘Is that all? Is that the summary of my life?’ I don’t want it to be the summary of my life. I wanted it to be an example of where my life was going. I’m sure there are more,” he told the Associated Press.

In recent years, the actor has surprised audiences as a spokesperson for commercials for one of the world’s largest fast-food chains. MC Donalds. Cox hummed a little jingle at the end of the commercial in which he hummed a “Bah-dah-bop-bah-bahhh.”

His gruff voice might not have been the kind one would expect touting the virtues of Big Macs and McNuggets, but perhaps that surprise was the commercial’s virtue.

After the last season of “Succession”, Cox He didn’t hesitate to express his gratitude for working with this great cast, calling it the best work of his career. “We have reached the end. And that was the best work experience of my career. “The harmony between the cast and the production team was incredible,” he said on his Instagram Stories.

“It was already on track to be a great show, but the love and dedication of the crew, cast and writers made it unforgettable. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank everyone involved in the making of the show.”

Of course, although he was happy with the whole team and their work on the story they created Jesse Armstrong, He noted that his character’s death came very early. “He called me and said, ‘Logan is going to die.’ And I was like, ‘Okay, okay.’ But I thought he meant he was going to die in episode 7 or 8, not episode 3. I said to myself, ‘It’s a little early,’ but it wasn’t so that made me worried,” the actor said.

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the problem for many television channels, especially American television, is that the expiry date is not respected. And the great thing about Jesse and the “Succession” writers is that they wouldn’t do that. It’s not easy for them to finish the series. But I think there are many reasons for that and I applaud the fact that he did it. It was brave because everyone loves the show. “Always leave the party when it’s in full swing, not when it’s over,” Cox said.
