Zack Sharf Digital News Director Sarah Snook said during an interview on Times Radio that her “Succession” co-star Brian Cox had a habit of outbursts on set fueled by his Type 2 diabetes.

Snook, who recently won an Emmy for playing Shiv Roy on the final season of “Succession,” said Cox’s voice could get “terrifying sometimes” during these moments of rage. “He has a habit of sometimes going into a false — or could it be real, who knows? — diabetic rage,” Snook said. “I think part of it’s a little of trying to just jolt the energy of the set and rustle a few feathers, get it going and moving faster.

The quality of his voice can be very terrifying sometimes. Thunderous.” Snook is not the first “Succession” cast member to bring up Cox’s set outbursts.

Kieran Culkin once said in an Esquire video interview that Cox could get into screaming fits much like his character Logan Roy, although the tones were obviously much different. “The screaming, both of them with the screaming,” Culkin said. “But with Logan it’s terrifying and with Brian it’s hilarious because there’s no actual weight behind it.
