      Some of Logans most personal lines are when he's talking about his home and what it was like moving to America, and what it's all like nowadays "they pissed it all away".
      Anytime he keeps repeating "I don't know.. I don't know." it's absolutely masterful acting by Cox.

  • @GiantPetRat
    @GiantPetRat 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    What stands out most to me about Cox as Logan is that warmth- or, at least, that mimicry of warmth. From the very beginning of the series, we see Logan at his most vulnerable, stumbling around in the dark. There's a sofness to him that very few other larger-than-life, big dick energy characters like him have ever displayed.
    Even if, as his brother said at his funeral, Logan gave up on good long ago, his warmth was so convincing that people would practically die for it- as Shiv said at his funeral.
    What's more, that warmth was often real; Cox once asked the writers whether Logan truly loved his children, and it was decided that yes, there was love there; no matter what horrible things they did or said to each other, there was love.

  • @paradoxinraindrops141
    @paradoxinraindrops141 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Before he could take the role, Cox had to ask if Logan loved his kids. And as a video essay I watched points out; the show makes it clear he does. He just loves them in a way he only can. As a victim of abuse and as a career captain of industry.
    That fury it instills makes for hell in a boardroom but as the patriarch of a family? He’s not going to be all Carl Winslow. He’s very emotionally reserved, very hands on when it comes to the day to day of business (not even letting a stroke hold him back).
    Brian Cox truly was the right man for the role. He gives such a Shakespearean essence to Logan’s fervor and it makes those moments of levity shine bright. Like you’ve truly earned the king’s favor something you see in the eyes of everyone who gets even the smallest win with Logan.

    Best line of Brian Cox dialogue was when he did a comedy set in Dundee, Scotland where he was trying to become the local member of Parliment. A journalist asks him 'are you nervous?'
    Brian Cox's character: 'Nervous? I've only been nervous three times in my life: the first time was when I was born. The second was the first time I used a soda stream. And the third was that time I thought I saw Fred West in Argos.'

Watching Brian Cox's normal personality in his old 90's theatre lectures made me think damn.... Cox really must have just fully embodied the business tycoon persona not from experience but just because he is an amazing actor.

    Episode 4 was perfection and if Brian Cox doesn't get Emmy supporting actor and Sarah Snook and Kieren Culkin getting best actor and actress, then there is no hope for the world in TV. Sarah made me cry and I don't even cry often. It felt so raw and real. Masterclass acting and writing all around! Hats off to Jesse Armstrong for taking such a big risk killing Logan offscreen and I think it will pay off. We all went through the same confusion and stages of grief along with the Roy siblings.

    Pretty sure Brian Cox is happy to finally step away from this role. In fact, I heard a rumor that the producers suggested doing a fifth season, and Brian said:
    *F@CK OFF!*

      But Brian Cox has said in interviews he doesn't enjoy playing the role of Logan Roy. It makes sense, look at what happened to Heath Ledger when he played Joker. Taking on the life of a detestable human being must weigh on you

    I’ll insist til I die: Brian Cox’s best voice work is in Manhunt. I used to play it because it was edgy, now I play it because I love how he’s just relentlessly screaming in our ears while we play.

    Beautifully observed. Only other aspect perhaps worth mentioning is his accent - raw, guttural, working-class Scots. Unlike his elder brother. Logan didn't lose his accent to help him assimilate; on the contrary, he stuck with it quite doggedly, knowing it unsettled people and made him stand out amongst the Ivy League grammar and affectations of others in the power circles where he moved.
    Brian Cox's own voice is usually a little more refined but his delivery of Logan's accent said something so eloquently without it ever being articulated by the scriptwriters;
    "I had to claw my way up from the back streets of post-war Dundee and now I'm much more powerful than you cosseted cunts. So do you really think you're fucking hard and hungry enough to take me? You don't know hunger. And you mistake arrogance for hard. Now fuck off."
