As a long-time fan who has witnessed the evolution of some truly remarkable actors, I must say that Brian Cox‘s candor and unfiltered opinions are as captivating as his performances. His life experience, spanning decades in the industry, provides him with an unique perspective that is both insightful and sometimes brutally honest.
As a gamer diving deep into this topic, it feels like I’m leveling up not once, not twice, but thrice or even quadruple! Indeed, Brian Cox is once again voicing his critique of Jeremy Strong’s Method acting approach in Succession. However, he adds a bit of nuance to his criticism this time around.
Initially, Cox praised Jeremy Strong’s Emmy-winning portrayal of Kendall Roy in the HBO drama, The Guardian reports, stating that Strong was fantastic to work with during filming: “He was a joy to act alongside. I had no disagreements regarding Jeremy’s acting abilities.
However, Strong’s deep dive into portraying his character proved challenging not just for him, but also for the entire cast, as stated by Cox.
The actor portraying Logan Roy stated, “If he were to address that issue, his acting abilities would significantly improve, leading to a more inclusive performance overall.
As a gamer, when someone questioned the challenge of collaborating with a teammate who’s always ‘in-game,’ I’d say, “It’s not ideal for our team dynamic. It fosters tension. That’s the issue.
He was questioned if they had ever discussed that topic with their co-star, and he replied, “No, not as extensively as I would’ve preferred. However, it’s a deeply emotional topic for those who adhere to the Strasberg method.
In his latest interview, the actor candidly confessed, “Over time, I’ve hurt some feelings… You see, I can be rather outspoken at times. Occasionally, I’ve been quite heated, and later I find myself wondering, ‘What made me say such a thing?’
Earlier, he had criticized both Johnny Depp and Steven Seagal for being “overrated”. Now, he’s adding that they might feel the same way about themselves. In other words, he’s not revealing anything they might not already believe.
Earlier comments from Cox about Strong include: “I don’t agree with much of the American need for a spiritual awakening each time they play a character. I think it’s nonsense.” Additionally, he stated: “Jeremy’s approach is effective in producing results, but my concern – and it’s not really a concern since I find him charming – is his intense focus on the work. I worry about how it affects him because if you can’t separate yourself from the material, you risk becoming overwhelmed. Over time, this intensity can take a toll.
In his own words, Strong has stated that he approached his character on Succession with the same level of importance as he does his real life, and he was somewhat disappointed by the criticism from his fellow cast members. Previously, Strong spoke to The Hollywood Reporter, saying, “I had a safe place to express those feelings, but ultimately, that experience was called into question.” Regarding his co-stars, Strong emphasized, “We are like a family in every sense of the word. At our core, there is deep respect and even love.
