As an actor, if you are given the chance to play Agamemnon, in theater or cinema, then you play Agamemnon.

It's a crime an actor of his talent was, until recently, anonymous. I was hoping he would talk about his character in Succession as being a narcissist and the impact that had on the children. I didn’t see his take here coming! Lol! Regardless, he's such a brilliant actor. I hope we get to see him in more roles of the scale of his in Succession soon.

Surprised this walking legend didn't talk about his greatest role which was as uncle gary in The Ringer. Love Brian Cox, always delivers.

He doesn't act. He plays an arrogant pig no matter the role.

Appeared 1 minute in braveheart but still stole the show with a memorable character "Argyle". Also was great in XMEN.

I loved him in 25th hour and the ring… he makes it so easy to suspend disbelief with his characters…
