EIFF2008: Brian Cox
Scotland's greatest living actor (sorry Sean) took to the stage for this year's BAFTA Scotland interview at the EIFF and was a joy to listen to.
The interview, conducted by artistic director Hannah McGill, took in his upbringing in Dundee, his education (or lack of it) and how he fell into acting, before taking a very quick tour through a selection of his films, from small indie films (like RED, which I raved about a few days ago) to big blockbusters (his part in the BOURNE films).
An excellent hour and a half offered more entertainment that many of the films you're likely to see at the festival and was a reminder why this guy is just so brilliant.
RED is screening again on Sunday as part of Best of the Fest, so if you've not yet seen it, do so.
