Brian’s natural accent is strange because I’m so used to hearing his American accent as Logan Roy; he really makes you want to hate Logan Roy!

I walked out of Silence of the Lambs with two other people I went with , we were Huge Thomas Harris fans and Loved Mr Cox in the role of Hannibal. As soon as Hopkins opened his mouth and said his first lines, we all looked at each other and left. Brian Cox will always be the better Hannibal

I was a little dissapointed they did not tackled about his part in X-Men 2 standing next to Hugh Jackman, then Sirs Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, but this was overall a enjoyable video breakdown on his career.

Mr. Cox has long been one of my favorite actors; I’ve never seen him give anything but a great performance. I had no idea of his part in ‘Nicholas and Alexandra’, but now I recognize him. And nothing against the great Anthony Hopkins, but Cox’s performance as Hannibal Lecter will always be the best.
