Matthew Chandler Fox was born in Abington, Pennsylvania, a charming town in the Keystone State, to a family with a rich cultural heritage. His mother, Loretta B. (Eagono),was a dedicated schoolteacher, while his father, Francis G. Fox, was a respected consultant for an oil company, with a passion for raising longhorn cattle and horses, and cultivating barley for Coors beer.

He then matriculated at Columbia University, where he majored in Economics with the intention of pursuing a career on Wall Street. However, his life took an unexpected turn when his girlfriend's mother, a modeling agent, convinced him to try his hand at modeling. This initial foray into the world of entertainment led to a couple of TV commercials, and soon Fox was sold on the idea of becoming an actor.
