That's what Succession was missing. More people being thrown off cliffs.

Cox doing all of that with the straightest of expressions is a testament to his talent.

Cox nailed it. He told one of the most hilarious stories in the most dramatic fashion ever.

This video actually makes me look even more forward to The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, starring Brian Cox, instead of Tekken 8.

Also might finally watch Succession this year.

Same here, but let's not forget he was in Super Troopers as well. He's done a lot of interesting roles over the years.

There was no explanation about the Devil Gene, coming from Kazumi, from Tekken 7.

The guy made eating at McDonalds sound like the most interesting thing a person can do, I'm not surprised by how he handled this. Laughing

I know what you meant, but the comma placement almost makes it seem like there was a version of The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim that starred Tekken 8 instead of Brian Cox.

Once a video game gets cast as an actor that's when we've truly gone too far.

Quote:
Devil's Power (デビルの力, Debiru no Chikara?) in Tekken 6 Scenario Campaign, is a supernatural genetic abnormality found in people of the Hachijo bloodline. Characters revealed so far to posses the Devil Gene are Kazuya Mishima (Devil Kazuya), Jin Kazama (Devil Jin), and Kazumi Mishima (Devil Kazumi).


Quote:
The Hachijo Clan (八条家, Hachijō-ke?, Hachijo Family) is seemingly a clan of assassins that is referenced in Tekken 7. The Hachijo's most notable member is Kazumi Mishima, Heihachi Mishima's deceased wife. The clan has a lineage that has possessed the Devil Gene since ancient times, as revealed in a nursery rhyme that a journalist hears during his investigation of the Hachijo clan in Kyoto.

Maybe someday there will be a celebrity who goes by the stage name "Tekken 8," making this post make some sense or be even more confusing.

Though looking at the cast of Tekken 8, I wouldn't mind if Brian Cox's character in the upcoming Lord of the Rings animated film was voiced by Jamieson Price [Paul Phoenix in Tekken, Rider in Fate/Zero, father protagonist in NieR, The Count of Monte Cristo in Gankutsuou].
