“Succession” star Brian Cox tells The UK Guardian: “I’ve lost my anonymity and I’ve realized that that was what was important to me. I haven’t ever experienced anything like this. I mean, you ask for success in your work, and you get it, and then you have to deal with the consequences. I’ve always valued my privacy, but that’s gone. I’ve been very lucky that I’ve had it for so long. You know, I’ve been doing this for over 60 years. And finally it’s over.”
Prior to being in “Succession,” Cox was largely unknown. He played a pedophile in an indie movie called “L.I.E.”
With “Succession,” Cox became the ubiquitous face and voice for McDonalds, and the voice of DirectTV, in commercials. You can’t get away from him. He chose this path. Fame and fortune weren’t forced on him.
Hold the pickles, Brian, hold the relish.
