Michael Fox

Ikke at forveksle med Michael J. Fox.

Michael Fox (27. februar 1921 – 1. juni 1996) var en amerikansk skuespiller, som medvirkede i tallige film og tv-serier. Nogle af hans mest kendte tilbagevendende roller var som forskellige retsmedicinere i 25 afsnit af Perry Mason, som Coroner George McLeod i 26 afsnit af Burke's Law, som Amos Fedders i 16 afsnit af Falcon Crest og som Saul Feinberg i 12 afsnit af Glamour. Han er også kendt for at være grunden til, at Michael J. Fox registerede sit navn med bogstavet "J", som mellemnavn, da han blev tilføjet til Screen Actors Guild (for ikke også at hedde "Michael Fox").

Karriere

Michael Fox startede sin skuespilskarriere i det sydlige California omkring 1945. Gennem hans optrædner på scenen, mødte Fox Harry Sauber, som introducerde ham for Sam Katzman.

To af hans faste tv-roller var, som retsmediciner i retsdramaerne Perry Mason, og som Saul Feinberg i CBS' sæbeopera Glamour fra 1989-1996.

Blandt hans tidligere arbejde på tv, var det næstsidste afsnit af Adventures of Superman, som leder af en kriminel bande, som prøvede at efterligne massemorderen Perils of Paulines stil af mordforsøg mod seriens forskellige hovedroller. Han medvirkede også i flere afsnit af tv-serien Science Fiction Theatre fra 1955-1957.

Privatliv og død

Fox var gift med Hannah, en skuespillerinde han mødte under opførslen af teaterstykket The Dybbuk, i et teaterområde i Los Angeles, der blev ledet af Lou Smuckler, svigerfar til Lee J. Cobb. Han lånte en bil af Dorothy Gish, og kørte derefter Hannah til et rådhus og blev gift med hende i pausen mellem eftermiddagsforestillingen og aftensforestillingen af The Story of Mary Surratt.

Fox døde af lungebetændelse den 1. juni, 1996, i Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California.
