He won a primetime Emmy for Alec Baldwin's Nuremberg, where he played Hermann Goering, and was nominated for another Emmy for a guest turn in Frasier. He won a Scottish BAFTA for The Escapist, and a non-competitive "Outstanding Achievement in Film" award from BAFTA Scotland in 2004. He was nominated for a BAFTA (London) TV award for his work on The Lost Language of Cranes.

Aside from his most critically well-received work, Cox has sometimes worked alongside other Doctor Who universe alum.
