Brian Cox on 'Prisoner's Daughter' and How Often Fans Bring Up Logan Roy
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Prisoner’s Daughter.]From director Catherine Hardwicke and screenwriter Mark Bacci, the family drama Prisoner’s Daughter finds Max needing to reunite with his estranged daughter Maxine , in order to reside with her and her son Ezra on compassionate release after 12 years in prison.
BRIAN COX: It’s all of that. It’s how it affects you. This was a very moving story, the story of a man trying to reclaim his life, or reclaim a part of his life, and it just resonated so strongly with me. I thought it was a great role. And it was wonderful to be able to work with Kate [Beckinsale], who I have known, on and off, for many years, but we’ve never worked together. We had a great time, and we’ve actually become close friends, as a result. I just think she’s tremendous.
You’ve talked about the importance of having a lot of laughs on a shoot. Is that something that helps you to never take it all too seriously or get too caught up in the heaviness of it all, especially with something heavier like this? COX: Oh, yeah. I love stuff when I have to be physical because that’s my raison d’etre. I’ve done a lot of physical acting, over the years, so that’s fine. But for me, the great thing is the interior element of the character. You let the audience do the work. You don’t do too much. You give just enough to the audience. You don’t project it. You just have to be it, in a way.
We know, from the beginning of this film, that your character is moving toward a very specific fate, but it also plays out in a way that we don’t really expect. How did you feel about the decision your character made, really taking his fate into his own hands? COX: That’s Ezra’s gift and his problem. He’s a little man, in many, many ways, and he’s had to be because of his mom. So, Max approaches him as that little man and treats him like that because he realizes that he’s quite intelligent, but he’s still a boy. He still has to remember that he’s affected by things. That’s what I felt really good about. Max is an extraordinary character, just the fact that he’s learned so much, so late in life.
