The incredible rags-to-riches story of acclaimed actor Brian Cox, best known as Succession’s Logan Roy, from a troubled, working-class upbringing in Scotland to a prolific career across theatre, film, and television.

From Hannibal Lecter in Manhunter to media magnate Logan Roy in HBO's Succession, Brian Cox has made his name as an actor of unparalleled distinction and versatility. We are familiar with him on screen, but few know of his extraordinary life story. Growing up in Dundee, Scotland, 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. After joining the Dundee Repertory Theatre at the age of 15, you could say the rest is history - but that is to overlook the enormous effort that has gone into the making of the legend we know today.

Rich in emotion and meaning, with plenty of laughs along the way, this seminal autobiography captures both Cox's distinctive voice and his very soul.

Brian Cox has been one of my favorite actors since first meeting him in The Ring. His summary of his experiences on stage and screen has helped further rekindle a love of storytelling in me. I hope I get a chance to see him on stage someday.

Wonderful insights from one of my favorite actors

The memoir is wonderful and entertaining. The gifts Brian Cox gives to actors through his memoir is a map of how a career can be sustainable in such a competitive field. He gives foundational advice through his training and discussion of the classics. Must read for any actor.

Primer for an actor,great and entertaining

….but if you’re expecting a lot about SUCCESSION, you may be somewhat disappointed. Remember that SUCCESSION forms only three years of a distinguished career of well over half a century.

As satisfying an experience as one could hope

Entertaining and beautifully performed. Listening to this book was like spending time with a charismatic and interesting person. Brian tells the story of his life in a non-linear fashion, which kept me engaged. He is balanced in being both generous and critical of people he has worked with. He offers some criticism of other actors I like, but that makes the book more entertaining. We’re all entitled to our opinions and points of view, and I very much enjoyed listening to his.

One of my favorite memoirs

Brian Cox telling you the Brian Cox story. Can't beat it. And oh what a cameo in that prologue.

Fantastic

Brian not only reads his memoir but almost performs it. Period coming from the theater I imagine that’s a big part of it but I’m not sure there’s a better way to experience the score then having him read it

Absolutely great
