Brian Cox and I are the same age. We led parallel lives on both sides of the Atlantic - he in Scotland and I in Canada. When we finally met in London in 1969, he was appearing in David Storey's play In Celebration with Alan Bates (whom I'd worked with at Stratford, Ontario two years earlier). Brian went on to have a major theatrical career both in the West End and on Broadway. He made his film debut as Trotsky in Nicholas and Alexandra and went on to appear in such films as Manhunter, X-Men, Troy, The Bourne Conspiracy. L.I.E. and, most recently, Coriolanus. He won the Emmy for his performance as Hermann Goring in Nuremberg. He is presently starring on Broadway as The Coach in the revival of That Championship Season.
