PUTTING THE RABBIT IN THE HAT

Now best known for his portrayal of media magnate Logan Roy in Succession, Brian Cox is an actor of power, skill and versatility. But few know his extraordinary life story. Growing up in Dundee, Cox lost his father when he was just eight years old and was brought up by his three elder sisters in the aftermath of his mother's nervous breakdowns and ultimate hospitalization. At fifteen he joined Dundee Repertory Theatre, and began a lifetime’s graft that would take him to the RSC and Hollywood.
