Fox was born May 11, 1927, in Wales and was the son of two stage actors. His acting career started when he was 18 months old. His acting was interrupted when he served in the Royal Navy during World War II.
Fox appeared in an uncredited role in the 1958 movie “A Night To Remember,” which was about the Titanic tragedy of April 15, 1912. Thirty-nine years later, he played the role of Colonel Gracie in the James Cameron movie “Titanic.”
Fans probably best remember Fox for his appearances on two beloved 1960s sitcoms, “Bewitched” and “Hogan’s Heroes.”
Fox played the womanizing witch doctor Dr. Bombay in 19 episodes of “Bewitched.” He was the bumbling Colonel Crittendon on “Hogan’s Heroes.” Another memorable guest appearance was on “The Andy Griffith Show” as English valet Malcolm Meriweather.
