“Success is the greatest aphrodisiac”: Brian Cox Didn’t Just Base Logan Roy on Rupert Murdoch, Took His Many Alleged Affairs for ‘Succession’ Too
Brian Cox gave a Golden Globe-winning performance as Logan Roy in the TV show, Succession. Cox based the patriarch of the dysfunctional Roy family on the likes of Rupert Murdoch, the American business magnate and investor. The similarities were uncanny as Logan in the series was the founder of the media and entertainment conglomerate Waystar RoyCo.
