The SNP member for New York

IT’S almost 25 years to the day since Dundee-born actor Brian Cox provided the voiceover for a Labour election broadcast for Tony Blair. But the man who stars as irascible media magnate Logan Roy in HBO’s Succession appears to be leaning towards the SNP these days.

‘I’m still for Scottish independence — at my age, I can’t screw about,’ says Cox, who is 75. It should be noted, however, that he doesn’t love the place enough to live there. Home is an apartment in New York.
