According to Deadline, Logan Roy seems to be attempting to make up with Kendall. Although the on-screen duo never seemed to make amends, Brian Cox has issued a sort of apology to his co-star, Jeremy Strong (The Big Short, The Trial Of The Chicago Seven). Cox recently praised Jeremy Strongs acting  after calling his method acting “f**king annoying in a 2023 interview. 

Cox spoke to The Times about Strong, “I don’t want to go on about Jeremy, because I’ve got into a lot of problems and he’s begged me to stop talking about him. He’s a good actor, Jeremy. He’s a wonderful actor. It’s just all the bollocks that goes with it. You watch children — they don’t say, ‘What’s my motivation?’ They just do it,” via Deadline.

As the final season of Succession aired in 2023, Cox still praised Strong’s acting ability, but ultimately said, “But knowing a character and what the character does is only part of the skill set. It’s f*cking annoying. Don’t get me going on it,” via Deadline.

According to a Deadline article from 2025, Fellow method actor Daniel Day-Lewis (There Will Be Blood, Phantom Thread) would come to Strong’s defense: “Brian is a very fine actor who’s done extraordinary work. As a result, he’s been given a soapbox … which he shows no sign of climbing down from. Any time he wants to talk about it, I’m easy to find. If I thought during our work together I’d interfered with his working process, I’d be appalled. But I don’t think it was like that. So I don’t know where the fuck that came from. Jeremy Strong is a very fine actor, I don’t know how he goes about things, but I don’t feel responsible in any way for that.”

Strong has received critical acclaim for both his role in Succession and his subsequent work. He won three Emmys for Outstanding Lead Actor in A Drama Series for his portrayal of Kendall Roy. After he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 2025 Oscars for his role in The Apprentice as Roy Cohn.

Strong claims that he practices “Identity diffusion” instead of traditional method acting. “I think you have to go through whatever the ordeal is that the character has to go through,” he told The New Yorker, adding, “If I have any method at all, it is simply this: to clear away anything—anything—that is not the character and the circumstances of the scene. And usually that means clearing away almost everything around and inside you, so that you can be a more complete vessel for the work at hand,” Strong said  according to Deadline.
