There was a lot to tell so I got my head out of the s**t a bit. I’m thrilled that they didn’t take me up on my offer.” And I’m thrilled that they didn’t take me up on my offer.” Brian Cox had adjacent thoughts, saying he felt his character was killed off too early.

As far as why Alan Ruck would go to the extremes of removing himself from Succession, which had just come off an Emmy nod for Outstanding Drama Series (and would win for seasons two and three), it comes down to ego. “It’s vanity. We had made a big splash at the end of our first season. It started off slowly, but then took off like rocket.
