The Craft of Acting: Brian Cox
From Shakespeare to Succession , Scottish actor Brian Cox has carved out a distinguished, six-decade-plus career on both stage and screen, along the way winning two Olivier Awards, an Emmy, and a Golden Globe. In this edition of the Craft of Acting, Cox sits down with writer Issac Butler ( The Method: How the Twentieth Century Learned to Act ) to discuss everything from why he made the decision to focus on character parts to why he considers Spencer Tracy’s performance in the classic western noir Bad Day at Black Rock to be one of the greatest ever. Unpacking his approach to acting, Cox recounts how he created some of his most memorable characters, including the first on-screen iteration of Hannibal Lecter in Michael Mann’s chilling Manhunter .
