Brian Cox, the ex-musician turned physics teacher, was the first to encounter the problem when he tried to get a key to his room at the hotel that Brian Cox, the Scottish actor who stars in Succession, was also staying at. Television appearance. Speaking to BBC Breakfast on Friday, the two men explained what had happened the previous day when they tried to check in. “Well, last night was very confusing,” actor Brian Cox said. “Because Brian arrived at the hotel and [they] he said there are two Brian Coxes so you have two rooms. “And he said, ‘No, no, there’s only one, but I think there might be another Brian Cox,’ to which the hotel worker replied, ‘We can’t have two Brian Coxes.’ Physicist Brian Cox, 54, then shouted: “They wouldn’t check me!” The actor added: “They didn’t check him in, so he had to use his assistant’s name.” The physicist said: “I had to change my name. They couldn’t do it on their computer system. They didn’t believe me. And I pulled up a picture on my phone and I said, “Look, that’s Brian Cox, he’s coming later, and then he…” and he said, “I don’t know either of them, I don’t watch TV. . . .” Actor Brian Cox, who first gained recognition for his work with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal National Theatre, has previously revealed that he was initially extremely nervous at the prospect of sharing his name with another celebrity. In a Guardian interview with both Brian Coxes earlier this year, the actor said: “It bothered me at first – but it was such a great lesson – to find someone who is hugely successful with the same name as me. It annoyed me at first, then I thought: it’s not important. “I mean, we have the same name, but then something comes into play where you go, ‘Well, it’s just a name.’ So it was great meeting you, Brian, because it turns out the name doesn’t matter. I’m very happy we have the same name, but in the end it’s just one of those freak accidents.”
