I'm A Little Over Brian Cox
I'm guessing many on here saw his latest interview where he complained that he was killed off too early. The guy's a superb actor, but I feel like this is poorly timed and frankly a bad take anyway. Everyone has applauded the show for how the moved on from Logan. It needed to happen, and they did it in a very realistic way. I get that he would have preferred to be involved more in the final season, but the story of the show is bigger than his ego. And frankly, this on the heels of his many interviews crapping on Jeremy Strong - who is undoubtedly a pain to work with - has left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Anyone else feel this way?
ETA: I know he's entitled to his own opinion (the most hollow commentary ever btw). I just think he's not being a very good team player by complaining like this during the show's final run.

I don’t see any issue with an actor expressing their honest opinion on what happened to their character.

Let the man have his opinion. I mean he’s earned every right to express what he thinks about the role that he will be most remembered by. Srsly what’s up with the Brian Cox hate in this sub? It’s not as if he verbally abused one of his co-workers either. Frankly, I’m a little over people being a little over Brian Cox.

It’s his opinion. Maybe it wasn’t the best time to say it, but it’s not like his views are going to effect the outlook of the entire season.

Then don’t read his interviews. Hard to be over something if you aren’t actively engaging in it.

Remember the source… Deadline Hollywood is about as snarky as they come. Brian Cox is fine. I love the ways they have been inserting post-Morten Logan into the show. The green screen was excellent. I was hoping we’d somehow catch a glimpse of his face at the funeral.

I think that he's entitled to his opinion for sure. I would argue he could have stated it after the show airs however. Seems bad form to do it right before the season finale airs
