Logan Roy, the fictitious patriarch of Succession, has been dead since last summer, but do characters (or shows) ever really die Brian Cox, who won a Golden Globe (but never an Emmy!) for playing the gruff corporate tycoon, recently said he’d be up for exhuming him for a prequel movie. (If that happens, it might not involve Succession creator Jesse Armstrong.) Thing is, he’s already dusted the guy off, not for a movie or another show but, quite randomly, for a French commercial.
