Putting the Rabbit in the Hat by Brian Cox PDF Summary

Putting the Rabbit in the Hat by Brian Cox Summary

The incredible rags-to-riches story of acclaimed actor Brian Cox, best known as Succession’s Logan Roy, from a troubled, working-class upbringing in Scotland to a prolific career across theatre, film, and television.

From Hannibal Lecktor in Manhunter to media magnate Logan Roy in HBO’s Succession, Brian Cox has made his name as an actor of unparalleled distinction and versatility. We are familiar with him on screen, but few know of his extraordinary life story. Growing up in Dundee, Scotland, Cox lost his father when he was just eight years old and was brought up by his three elder sisters in the aftermath of his mother’s nervous breakdowns and ultimate hospitalization. After joining the Dundee Repertory Theatre at the age of fifteen, you could say the rest is history — but that is to overlook the enormous effort that has gone into the making of the legend we know today.

Rich in emotion and meaning, with plenty of laughs along the way, this seminal autobiography captures both Cox’s distinctive voice and his very soul.

Putting the Rabbit in the Hat PDF Book Review

Below is a review by Ross Maclean [From Goodreads]

Just a hugely enjoyable book to read. Cox’s style is engaging and unfussy, and it strikes the right balance between serious meditation on the craft of acting and conspiratorial —but not uncharitable— whispers about himself and those who populate the field he works in. There’s a big career to take in and, of course, it’s disappointing that everything can’t be covered (the lack of Adaptation, Rushmore, and even Super Troopers are the sticking points for me) but the bulk of his career is accounted for from Steven Seagal to Lynn Redgrave, and Fulton Mackay to Kieran Culkin.

It’s clear that his recall is fantastic and there’s never a sense that he doesn’t remember every single thing, emotional or factually — even if the odd minor embellishment seems par for the course in summarising 73 years.

Early family life is well accounted for and his family becomes somewhat of a sticking point that drifts in and out of his story, reflective of ways that he readily acknowledges as failings. Naturally, it’s mostly told chronologically but there’s a joy to be had in protracted asides when he feels the moment is right or teases of things to come; all of which serve the purpose of keeping it entertaining and illuminating, which is all you can ask of it.

Editorial Reviews Putting the Rabbit in the Hat PDF Book

Review

“The versatile actor’s voice rings loud in this no-holds-barred memoir that traces his rags-to-riches story.”―USA Today

“Wisdom, a modicum of modesty, and delicious gossip make for an entertaining memoir.”―Kirkus Reviews

“In this candid work, Scottish actor Cox (Salem to Moscow), of HBO’s Succession, chronicles the triumphs and setbacks in his distinguished career. . . [I]ts prickly honesty is delightfully refreshing.”―Publishers Weekly

“[C]andid and engaging. . . Theater fans and viewers of Succession will enjoy the personal stories this accomplished actor and raconteur has to tell.”―Booklist

“A life well lived and a story well told. From first page to last, Brian Cox the great actor is Brian Cox the great storyteller, and nobody is spared his sharp eye and his caustic wit, himself and some big Hollywood names included. He is brutally honest about who and what he likes and doesn’t like, and honest too about his own failings. But what shines through every page is a man who loves being an actor and who has a deep understanding of why culture, and especially theatre and film, really matter.”―Alastair Campbell

“Rage and vulnerability, loss and passion, self-doubt, triumphs and laughs. Brian Cox’s memoir brings to mind the Blake poem ‘What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price of all that a man hath: his wife, his house his children.’ What a treat and privilege to be invited in. I’ve never read a book that conveys the joy, grace and pain of the journey of being an actor and a human more honestly and with such straightforward blistering charm.”―Kate Beckinsale

“It is much more than a rabbit Mr. Cox pulls out of his hat. In this candid vision of his life it is revealed how it is he is able so convincingly, authentically and uniquely to play such an abundance of characters. All of them different, all of them real, all of them him.”―Hampton Fancher

“Brian Cox is not only one of the greatest actors of his generation, he is a gentleman among men. Kind, wise, funny and intense in the best ways possible, Brian is also a wonderful tale-teller as this book proves. It is an honor to call him a friend and I’m so proud of him. What a life well lived.”―Ryan Murphy

“Wonderfully honest, touching and funny.”―Gemma Jones

“There has always been coiled-spring energy to Brian’s acting and, now in his 70s, he has lost none of it. This book is like listening to him talk, switching from anecdote to diatribe to honest self-reflection and back to his original story before he interrupted himself. The effect is of undiminished curiosity and passion for life and work. All his observations are laced with his characteristic generosity, self-deprecation and cut-the-crap wisdom.”―Harriet Walker
