It's weird to see Depp and Segal mentioned in the same sentence. Like if you had a Johnny Depp and Steven Segal Venn diagram, there would be a tiny sliver of overlap called "People Brian Cox Doesn't Like"
they are picking quotes out of his memoir, doesn’t sound like Cox put them in the same sentence. He’s just talking about people he has worked with in his career.
As much as I adore Jeremy Strong (he ripped my heart out in Succession), I can see how his method would not work in an ensemble cast. Even in Succession, he seemed like an island.
