Summary
The long-awaited memoir by movie and theatre legend， Brian Cox。
Featuring a foreword by the executive producer of Succession， Frank Rich， an executive producer of HBO's Succession， a former chief drama critic of The New York Times， and the author of the memoir Ghost Light。
From Titus Andronicus with the RSC to media magnate Logan Roy in HBO's Succession， Brian Cox has made his name as an actor of unparalleled distinction and versatility。 We know 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 graft that has gone into the making of the legend we know today。
This is a rags-to-riches life story like no other - a seminal autobiography that both captures Cox's distinctive voice and his very soul。 Rich in emotion and meaning， with plenty of laughs along the way， it will be a classic in the vein of The Moon's a Balloon by David Niven and What's It All About by Michael Caine。
PRAISE FOR PUTTING THE RABBIT IN THE HAT:
'A hugely readable memoir from a giant of stage and screen' - Mark Kermode
'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' - Alastair Campbell
'Laced with his characteristic generosity， self-deprecation and cut-the-crap wisdom' - Harriet Walter

Probably one of the most criminally underrated actors of all time has finally written a memoir！ Putting The Rabbit In The Hat by Brian Cox is a rags-to-riches memoir that I have been waiting to read。 We get a fascinating account of his filmography on film， stage and television。 I'm also glad he mentioned Manhunter， which was a very underrated movie。 Anthony Hopkins might have made Hannibal Lecter iconic， but Brian Cox played him with nuance and 'normality' which is true to life and much more chi Probably one of the most criminally underrated actors of all time has finally written a memoir！ Putting The Rabbit In The Hat by Brian Cox is a rags-to-riches memoir that I have been waiting to read。 We get a fascinating account of his filmography on film， stage and television。 I'm also glad he mentioned Manhunter， which was a very underrated movie。 Anthony Hopkins might have made Hannibal Lecter iconic， but Brian Cox played him with nuance and 'normality' which is true to life and much more chilling。Growing up in Dundee， Scotland， Mr Cox lost his father when he was just eight years old and was brought up by his three elder sisters after his mother's nervous breakdowns and highest hospitalisation。 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 graft that has gone into the making of the legend we know today。 At seventeen， while enrolled at the prestigious London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art， he attended dress rehearsals at the National Theatre， watching the likes of Glenda Jackson， Peter O'Toole， Laurence Olivier， and Maggie Smith。After reading about his life， Mr Cox has been through a lot for the entertainment industry。 Let's hope he gets some accolade/Oscar glory soon！ 。。。more

A wonderful read from the opening page and an actor who doesn’t take himself too seriously。

LOOK。 this starts out so， so well， and then you become acutely aware that he really does have more in common with logan roy than he perhaps ought to admit （bad takes on modern culture， weirdly apologetic and sympathetic toward the behaviour of famous white men）。 interesting and unsurprising but。。。approach with caution（？！）

A book of the year candidate。 Which year？ Pretty much any you care to mention。

Occasionally funny frequently acerbic。 It’s also a bit Stephen Toast。
