His feature film debut was 1971’s ‘Nicholas and Alexandra’ and he played Dr. The actor has appeared regularly in film and television since 1965. He won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of the cantankerous family patriarch in 2020. Much like his ‘Succession’ character Logan Roy, Brian Cox was also born in Dundee, Scotland. The project was created by acclaimed Scottish actor and writer David Ashton and co-written with award-winning screenwriter Jeff Murphy. The film’s setting is likely inspired by Scotland’s Glenrothes distillery, which was founded in 1879 and is best known for its single malt Scotch whiskey. The last time they spoke was on the day of their mother’s funeral when, following a violent exchange with their father, the younger of the two left their Highland home for America.įorty years later, the brothers finally reunite, back on Scottish soil and in the village that houses the family business – the Glenrothan Distillery. ‘Glenrothan’ is set in a distillery town in the Scottish Highlands, and tells the story of two estranged brothers reuniting in the land of their birth. “I want to make a film which combines all the elements, to show my own deep love for the homeland.”
“‘Glenrothan’ is my homage to the elements that make Scotland such an extraordinary country, where vibrancy and majesty of the land is expressed through passion and desire – balanced by the Scot’s deep-rooted humor and grasp of the absurd,” said Brian Cox.
