Brian Cox says that playing Logan Roy on Succession<\/em> was great and all, except there’s just one small problem: now everyone associates him with his character on the HBO drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving played Logan Roy, I resent the fact, or I\u2019m sad about the fact, that I\u2019ve lost my anonymity, which was one of the things that served me well,” Cox recently told The Times<\/a><\/em>.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It\u2019s one of the great roles and there\u2019s nothing I can do about it. You get hoisted by your own petard. Hopefully I\u2019m not going to be defined by it, but we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Succession<\/em> follows the Roy family as siblings Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Roman (Kieran Culkin) and Shiv (Sarah Snook) squabble over who will take over their father’s media company after his death. That happened in Episode 3 of Season 4, with Logan (Cox) dying suddenly while in the air on his private jet. Now, the chips are taking their final fall as the last few episodes of the season play out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s Was Brian Cox Is Doing Post-Succession<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Succession<\/em> behind him, Cox is looking forward to going back to the stage, where he’ll play James Tyrone, an unhappy actor in Eugene O\u2019Neill\u2019s play\u00a0Long Day\u2019s Journey into Night<\/em>\u00a0in London’s West End. Playing his morphine-addicted wife will be Patricia Clarkson (Easy A<\/em>). She previously starred opposite Bradley Cooper in the play The Elephant Man <\/em>in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Lawther (The End of the F***ing World<\/em>) and Daryl McCormack (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande<\/em>) also star in Long Day’s Journey Into Night<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that the story revolves around an actor who feels he’s been pigeonholed into one role his whole life speaks to Cox’s post-Succession<\/em> apprehension about the future of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was fascinated by the fact that he was this actor who regretted selling his soul. He ended up playing one role, which was commercially very successful, but it also clipped his wings. His career could have been much broader,\u201d Cox told The Times<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He adds: \u201cThere\u2019s always going to be that role that tries to define you.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
