Scottish actor Brian Cox is well known for his roles in Braveheart, The Rise of the Planet of the Apes and the Bourne franchise.����

And he's the star of��the��American satirical black comedy-drama television series Succession, which has just been signed off for��its fourth season.����

Cox joined Mike Hosking to discuss his new autobiography Putting the Rabbit in the Hat, which he is currently on a book tour for.����

He says he’s the busiest he’s been in his life.����

The��75-year-old, who has also worked with Alec Baldwin in the past,��commented on what a terrible state��Baldwin��has got himself into following the��on-set��film��shooting.����

"I hear all kinds of rumours, all kinds of things about this gun that had possibly been previously used. I haven't got the��facts,��I just know it's horrifying."��

Baldwin accidentally fired a loaded gun on the set of his new film Rust, wounding the film's director and shooting and killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins - whom Cox called a "bright and up and coming young woman".��

"Alec's turned his life around in so many different ways as he got older," he told the radio host.��

"He's got a wonderful family. Since his late 50s he's had five kids, his life has changed in so many ways. He's got an incredible wife ... it's so tragic."��

Cox hoped the tragedy would come as a sobering reminder for all those working with firearms on movie sets.��

"There is a certain carelessness on cinema sets ... this will certainly be a big wakeup call.��

"I've fired guns on sets and they're usually incredibly strict. You check the��weapon,��you never hand anybody a gun like that. I find it astonishing."��

He acknowledged how tragic it was for Hutchins' family.��

Cox said he had been trying to get in touch with Baldwin "just to send commiserations to him".��

The actor also spoke briefly about his starring role in Succession, the third season of which has just been released.��

"I was originally told I was only going to be in one series, but then I realised I was going to be doing it for some time.��

"Logan Roy's a man with a lot of secrets, which we still don't know about."��

Talking about Succession’s latest season, Cox said he thinks the writers need a break.��

He said��he needs a break too.��

Cox��credits��his success and��the variety of his work in the theatre, on TV shows and in the cinema to��the key rule of��improvisation – which is “never say��no”.��

“The thing in my career has always been ‘yes and’.”��

He says��that he’s always eager to get back on the horse and will often jump from one production to another.����
