Biography

Laurence Fox, a talented thespian hailing from a family of renowned actors, boasts a distinguished lineage as the third son of esteemed actor James Fox and his wife Mary. Fox's impressive career has spanned multiple mediums, including films, plays, and television programs, with his most notable role to date being Detective Sergeant James Hathaway, alongside the venerable Kevin Whately, in the critically acclaimed series Inspector Lewis, a sequel to the beloved classic Inspector Morse.

As a stalwart of the British entertainment industry, Fox's proficiency in his craft has earned him widespread recognition and admiration. His remarkable aptitude for bringing characters to life on screen has cemented his position as a respected figure within the acting community.

However, it is not solely his acting prowess that has garnered Fox attention in recent years. Since 2020, he has been an active participant in the world of politics, with his involvement in the right-wing populist party "Reclaim" serving as a testament to his unwavering dedication to his beliefs.

In addition to his political endeavors, Fox has also ventured into the realm of television presenting, hosting an opinion show on GB News. Despite his efforts to engage audiences and share his perspectives, Fox's tenure at the channel was unfortunately cut short in 2023 following a controversy surrounding misogynistic comments he made about journalist Ava Evans.

In the aftermath of this incident, the media regulator Ofcom conducted a thorough investigation and ultimately determined that Fox's remarks had indeed breached broadcasting rules, leading to his departure from the channel.
