Brian Cox Once Again Criticizes the Method Acting of ‘Succession’ Co-Star Jeremy Strong: ‘He Would Be an Even Better Actor if He Just Got Rid of That’

As a seasoned cinephile with decades of industry insights, I find myself intrigued by the ongoing saga between Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong. Having witnessed the evolution of acting styles from the golden age of cinema to the current era of method acting, it’s fascinating to observe such contrasting perspectives.

Brian Cox is once again criticizing his “Succession” co-star Jeremy Strong and his method acting.

Previously, Cox criticized his on-screen son’s method acting as extremely irritating, but in his recent interview with The Guardian, he offers a more gentle critique. Nevertheless, at 78 years old, the Scottish actor still believes Strong would improve as an actor if he were to abandon this technique completely.

Working alongside Jeremy was a delight. I can’t find fault with his acting skills. If only he could eliminate certain aspects, it would significantly enhance his performances and foster a more inclusive atmosphere.

In simple terms, Cox explained that when an actor consistently stays in character, it’s not beneficial for the group as it fosters tension. Even though he felt strongly about this matter, he never had a discussion with Strong on this topic to the extent he desired. He also mentioned that this is a sensitive subject for those who adhere to the Strasberg approach to acting.

Previously, Cox had openly criticized Johnny Depp and Steven Seagal, labeling Depp as “overrated” and Seagal as “ludicrous.” Now, he expresses remorse for his past criticism, admitting that upon reflection, he regrets being so critical at times.

Cox admitted feeling as though he may have offended some individuals. He explained, ‘I tend to speak rather boldly at times, and on occasion, I’ve been quite outspoken and emotional. I often find myself wondering, ‘What made me say such a thing?’

In a recent cinematic endeavor, I found myself immersed in the captivating world of Middle Earth as the King of Rohan in “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim,” an enthralling anime prequel set 261 years prior to “The Fellowship of the Ring.” This timeless epic transports viewers on a fantastical journey that I had the privilege to be a part of.
