Brian Cox, good character actor. I still haven’t watched the tv show Succession, its had rave reviews. I will eventually.
I’ve seen 26 of the 84 films on the chart. Favorites include – the X-Men films, the Bourne series, Troy, Braveheart, Rise of the Apes, The Corruptor, Red 1 & 2, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Manhunter.
Braveheart tops the UMR chart, and Her no.1 on the critics chart, X-Men 2 is Cox’s most successful film at the US box office.
Good work Bruce. Vote Up!
I’ve never cared for Brian Cox. I know nothing about what he’s like outside of his roles, but some of the characters he’s played have gotten on my nerves, like the film L.I.E. He’s alright in films like Red (apparently he’s been in 2 films namded Red 2 years apart).
I saw Brian Cox with Julie Warren in Frankie & Johnny in the Claire de Lune in London back in 1989. I hated it, but I was jetlagged. The film version with Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer with the shortened title of Frankie & Johnny was passable.
Brian Cox is # 48 on the 2021 Oracle of Bacon list. These are the other actors on the list he has appeared with.

Seems I’ve been reading about his new book on a pretty regular basis, so I figured I’ll do an UMR page on him. Overall I have seen 40 of his movie. Favorites would include, Rushmore, Red (the Bruce one), Braveheart, Manhunter and Her.
