Brian Cox, while being raised Catholic, has stated that he does not believe in God.
He believes that theatre accomplishes for its audience what mass does for churchgoers, but that theatre does it better.
Does Brian Cox believe in God?
With a six-decade career spanning film, television, and theater, Brian Cox has played renowned figures such as Titus Andronicus, King Lear, Hannibal Lecter, and Winston Churchill but nothing could have prepared him for the reaction to his portrayal as Logan Roy on HBO’s Succession.
When he and his co-stars came onto the stage for the European debut of the show’s third season in October, his wife, who was in the crowded audience, told him it felt like he was watching a rock concert.
Despite the fact that the show’s protagonists are exceedingly affluent and generally dislikeable, Cox believes Succession will appeal to audiences because “human beings love to hate,” and a story about out-of-touch billionaires provides plenty of opportunities for that.
