      He's a great actor and all but he's not tall enough to play Tywin (and he also doesn't really look like a Lannister to me). Dance was just too perfect for the role (it was almost like he was peeled straight off the pages of the books). If there's any character in GoT that Cox would've been the best fit for it would've been Mance Rayder IMO.

    Brian is a great actor, and my first film as a kid I remember going to the theatre with the family, and watching Braveheart when I was 10. My mother didn't know my grandparents took us to it, but it showed the brutality of war. And how violence it isn't the answer to fight your brothers.
    He has performed roles on an epic scale, and plays minor ones with the same effort as well. Super Troopers was a tiny budget that turned out to be a sleeper hit. And Brian even stayed on for the 2nd one. Brian was a living god in the 1st one, and it wouldn't have been a Super Troopers film without him. Thanks for keeping me entertained for the past 25 years :)

    Interesting tidbit, while Cox was playing Hannibal Lecktor (not sure why they changed the spelling) in Manhunter, Anthony Hopkins was playing King Lear, then when Hopkins was playing Lecter in Silence of the Lambs, Brian Cox was playing King Lear.

    hello! I just finished binge watching Succession since season one and im up to date so I finally can watch these videos and OMGGG I was so nervous when he came out I really (stupidly thought he was going to be like Logan, which I am really terrified of him but also obsessed but he is so nice!!!! lol also Shiv is actually australian and she is so relaxed? omg I haven't seen Kieran content or Jeremy but I came rrright to Logan, as one should.
