the HBO drama “Succession” “too early.”The 76-year-old actor gave one of his first big interviews since the stunning death of media patriarch Logan Roy to BBC Two’s Amol Rajan Interviews for an episode airing Wednesday.Cox reportedly states the killing of his character last month during a plane ride in the third episode of Season 4 was “ultimately too early.”Instead, Cox thinks it would have been appropriate for Logan to die in the fifth or sixth episode of the 10-episode final season. “I was fine with it, ultimately, but I did feel a little bit rejected,” he said.

Brian Cox is opening up about Logan Roy’s death on Succession, and admitted that he thinks it was done too soon.

Logan’s death, while anticipated, came in the third episode of the HBO drama’s fourth and final season — much earlier than many viewers expected.In a BBC Two interview with Amol Rajan, Cox said, “I was fine with it, ultimately, but I did feel a little bit rejected. You know, I felt a little bit like all the work I’ve done [is being overlooked] and finally I’m going to, you know, end up as an ear on a carpet of a plane.”It was “ultimately too early” Cox said of his character’s demise, which he would have preferred to happen in the fifth or sixth episode.

Ethan Shanfeld “Succession” shocked viewers when, in the third episode of Season 4, the series suddenly killed off its lead character. Of course, the death of Logan Roy was somewhat inevitable, as the Waystar CEO suffers a health crisis in the series’ first episode — and the show is called “Succession,” after all. But nonetheless, Brian Cox thinks he was written off the show “too early.” In an interview with BBC’s Amol Rajan, Cox said of Logan’s surprise death, “I was fine with it ultimately, but I did feel a little bit rejected. You know, I felt a little bit, oh, all the work I’ve done and finally I’m going to, you know, end up as an ear on a carpet of a plane.”

season 4, Brian Cox's wife had an unexpected cameo. Nicole Ansari-Cox made her HBO debut as one of Logan Roy's ex-mistresses, who all had gathered for his long-awaited spectacle of a funeral. In a darkly funny moment, Ansari-Cox appeared as Sally-Ann, whom Lady Caroline (Harriet Walter) dubbed as her own «Kerry, so to speak.» She was then asked by Caroline to join her, Marcia Roy (Hiam Abbass) and, of course, Kerry Castellabate (Zoe Winters) in the front row during the church service for the late Waystar Royco media mogul. As they all sat together, one of them quipped, «God, Logan would have hated this,» resulting in a collective laugh that broke through all their grief. Unsurprisingly, the internet ate up the brief interaction between all four women, with several fans taking to Twitter to share their excitement — and love for seeing Cox's actual real wife show up on the series.

“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is mostly encouraging. The fifth Harrison Ford-starring Indy flick doesn’t open theatrically until the week of June 30, but Cannes audiences got the first look. “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” debuted at the 2008 Cannes Festival, however, that was days away from its Memorial Day weekend launch.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor “These leads! They’re trying to murder me.” Emmy winner Jennifer Coolidge has her sights on her second consecutive statuette for her turn as Tanya in HBO’s hit black-comedy series “The White Lotus.” Coolidge has chosen to submit herself into the supporting drama actress category for this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards, Variety has learned exclusively.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor As the Writers Guild of America goes on strike, late-night television has been put on pause, including NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” which is on an indefinite hiatus. Multiple sources confirm to Variety that, in the unlikely event the strike is resolved in the coming weeks, “Succession” star Kieran Culkin is scheduled to take the stage at Studio 8H on May 13, with musical guest Labrinth, while “The White Lotus” star Jennifer Coolidge is set to close out “SNL’s” 48th season with Foo Fighters.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Shiv’s the boss! On “Succession,” Sarah Snook plays the youngest Roy daughter Siobhan “Shiv” Roy, who isn’t sitting idly by while her newly minted co-CEO brothers run the media empire Waystar Royco — and neither is Snook with her Emmy chances. Variety has learned exclusively that Snook will be submitted into the lead drama actress category for this year’s Primetime Emmys, changing from her supporting bids for the three previous seasons. “Succession” is exhibiting its finest writing, directing and acting of the show’s short history. With each new weekly episode, Snook has shined dramatically, becoming the season’s clear standout of the large, sprawling ensemble. This campaign shift could now firmly cement her as the presumptive front-runner for the most coveted television prize for acting.
