Logan Roy is a fictional character and one of the main characters of the American HBO satirical dark comedy-drama television series Succession. He is portrayed by Brian Cox and was created by showrunner Jesse Armstrong. Armstrong initially conceived the series as a feature film about the Murdoch family. He later decided to create a new script centered on original characters, with Logan being loosely based on Rupert Murdoch and Sumner Redstone. Logan Roy is the self-made billionaire founder of media and entertainment conglomerate Waystar RoyCo and the patriarch of the Roy family. He is a harsh leader who primarily focuses on his company rather than his four children Connor, Kendall, Roman and Siobhan. He is distrustful of his children and his subordinates, refusing to step down as CEO at the start of the series despite his advanced age as well as health. His conflicts with his family, his employees at Waystar, other businesses, and the United States Department of Justice form the central story-line of the series. The character and Brian Cox's performance has been critically acclaimed, and has been cited as one of the best villains and characters in television. For his performance, Cox won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series and was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.
