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 fifteen, 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. Divertissement et célébrités Célébrité Théâtre

Lovely to listen to, Brian's voice is strong but soothing.

3.5 stars from me. I'm in agreement with most of the 3/3.5 star reviews.

His storytelling of childhood and curious relationship with his mother is great, I'd have loved to hear more.

He seems to gloss over his...indiscretions and his own parenting skills (or lack thereof).

Regarding his career in theatre, film, and TV - well I guess a lot of his telling felt like braggadocio, to me. I love an autobiography, but this one just hit different. It felt very surface, to be honest.

A Solid 3.5

I first worked with Brian in his West End debut when he played Orlando in The BRC’s production of ‘As You Like It’ at the Vaudeville theatre in the Strand. I was a techy. He’s really quite an amazing storyteller with a more than one slap on the back for his accomplishments. One forgives that. He’s a wonderful actor with an immense range. He’s honest, true to his heart and a man who loves quite easily. Yes, he has been much loved by a number of very creative and beautiful creatures, but he has always reciprocated until, eventually it burns out. I last saw him in ‘The Weir’ at Wyndhams where I had a brief chat and saw the play, and brought my grown kids back to see it. Love the man! Fucking magic!!

Brian, they broke the mold!
