The 2013 film Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues options an Australian character impressed by Rupert Murdoch who owns a cable news tv channel. Within the 1997 movie Fierce Creatures, the head of Octopus Inc.'s Rod McCain (initials R. M.) character is probably going modelled after Murdoch. Murdoch was part of the inspiration for Logan Roy, the protagonist of Tv present Succession, who is portrayed by Brian Cox.
