Brian Cox talks Succession patriarch's violence and 'demonic' drive
In the sixth episode of the second season, Logan Roy's desperation to maintain control begins to show: "There's an element of him which is raging against the dying of the day."are, by now, used to the patriarch's scheming, hazing, craven fathering tactics, potty mouth and quick temper, the slap he dealt Roman in the season's sixth episode was cruel even by his standards.
To start off with, tell me about why you think Logan snapped and ended up slapping Roman this episode. Do you think he's inflicted violence his children in the past, or was this an anomaly? [Amid] #MeToo and what's happening in the world around him, he is slightly archaic. And certainly in the behavior of those people [in Waystar Royco's cruise line] — he knew that they behaved in a certain kind of way and he let it go. It was the culture of the time, it was the way people behaved, but now everyone's getting tainted by that.
Along those lines, going back a few episodes, do you think Logan's offer to Shiv to be his successor was sincere? Well, in a way, he's the apparent heir. And he's very caring of [his son]; he realizes what Kendall's been through, and he understands the pain. He's empathetic, not sympathetic, and he's very protective of Kendall because he believes Kendall has be rebuilt in some way. He has to get new programming because his programming has been shot to hell with this insidious relationship with Stewy [Hosseini] and Sandy [Furness].
