Brian Cox isn’t holding back when it comes to Jeremy Strong‘s approach to acting on Succession. In a new cover story for Town & Country, Cox said, “Oh, it’s f—king annoying. Don’t get me going on it.”
“He’s a very good actor,” Cox told the outlet. “And the rest of the ensemble is all okay with this. But knowing a character and what the character does is only part of the skill set.”
The Troy actor just thinks Strong should be able to step out of character. “He’s still that guy, because he feels if he went somewhere else he’d lose it,” Cox said. “But he won’t! Strong is talented. He’s fucking gifted. When you’ve got the gift, celebrate the gift. Go back to your trailer and have a hit of marijuana, you know?”
