Dundee, Scotland, UK:
Brian Denis Cox CBE (* 1. Juni 1946 in Dundee, Schottland) ist ein schottischer Schauspieler. Nach zahllosen Auftritten über viele Jahre hinweg – am bekanntesten sein Auftritt als Hannibal Lecter (im Film als Lecktor ausgewiesen) in Blutmond, bevor fünf Jahre später Anthony Hopkins in dieser Rolle zur Legende wurde – wurde er Mitte der 1990er Jahre durch Nebenrollen in den Filmen Rob Roy und Braveheart bekannt. Im letztgenannten Film spielte er Argyle Wallace, den Onkel der Filmhauptfigur William Wallace. In der Folgezeit wurde Cox in vielen Filmen als Bösewicht bzw. als zwielichtiger Charakter im Hintergrund besetzt: er spielte den undurchsichtigen Richard Morgan in Ring, den machtgierigen König Agamemnon in Troja, den Mutantenhasser William Stryker in X-Men 2, Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring in Nürnberg – Im Namen der Menschlichkeit und den korrupten CIA-Mann Ward Abott in Die Bourne Identität und Die Bourne Verschwörung. Einen großen künstlerischen Achtungserfolg erlangte er 2001 durch seine Darstellung eines Pädophilen in dem Film L.I.E. – Long Island Expressway.
