At the Emmys, Brian Cox revealed the odd, and specific, request ‘Succession’ fans ask of him

Brian Cox revealed that “Succession” fans often ask him to channel his character Logan Roy when they approach him in public, and he finds their very specific request “extraordinary.” Cox received an Emmy nomination for lead actor in a drama series for his performance as media tycoon Logan Roy in the final season of HBO’s “Succession.” However, his onscreen baby boy Kieran Culkin ultimately took home the award for his portrayal of Roman Roy. “He was the one person who showed him kindness when he had a bad time.” “Succession” star Macfadyen nabbed an Emmy on Monday for supporting actor in a drama series. The episode Cox submitted for Emmy consideration was “Rehearsal,” in which Logan gave a fire-breathing speech to the newsroom at ATN, his conservative news network, and confronted his adult children for their attempt to thwart an acquisition of the family-run conglomerate Waystar Royco, memorably saying, “You are not serious people.” Television ‘Succession’ wraps big Emmy night with drama series win “Succession,” the HBO series created by Jesse Armstrong, won the Emmy for drama series, the third time the show has won the award over its four seasons. It was Cox’s third Emmy nomination for “Succession.” He previously won an Emmy for his performance as Nazi leader Hermann Göring in the TV movie “Nuremberg.” The actor, a self-described socialist who supports the movement for Scottish independence, has a reputation for being blunt and outspoken, particularly when it comes to politics and the machinations of show business.
