Biography
James Fox was born in 1939 in London. His creative family consisted entirely of people of art: mother - actress, father - theater agent, grandfather - playwright. Many have heard his name - Frederick Lonsdale. Therefore, the boy lived in the world of theater, drama and cinema.
Already in childhood, he showed acting ability, and at eleven years old he was approved for a role in the film "Magnet". This was one of the main roles, and James played there his peer - a boy with whom unusual things happen.
After this role, they began to offer him another job in similar films, but this interfered with his studies, and his parents preferred the education of their son's early acting glory.
Actor's career
He well remembered this episode of their life and, when he returned from the army, he again decided to try his hand at acting. The first were episodic roles in the series, and in 1963 he played one of the main roles in the drama "Servant". Actually, this role was mainly determined by his further role. Here he created the image of an aristocrat - a weak-willed, spineless, who fell under the influence of an insidious butler.
He so brilliantly coped with the role that other directors began to invite him when there was a need for such characters. Therefore, his next work was similar to the role in “The Servant” - this is the role of the rich man Jason Rogers in the film “Chase” (1966), from which his wife literally winds ropes.
Fortunately, he managed to get out of the vicious circle of "actor-aristocrat", and in the film "Isadora" he played the role of a lover. However, he showed the sharpest contrast with his previous role in the film "Presentation" - here he created the image of a murderer who escaped from prison. Then he finds himself in even more complicated alterations, from which he is forced to get out, using all his prison skills.
In the life of every person, ups and downs occur. After successful work in the cinema, Fox began to depression, and he disappeared from the field of view of the fans for a long time. The reason was the death of his father. James could not accept the loss, began to take sedatives, which led to a loss of interest in life.
In the early 80s, the actor returned to the cinema and again began to play aristocrats. One of the best films of the time is Trip to India. Both viewers and critics received her with great approval. The following interesting films with the participation of Fox are the paintings "Anna Karenina", "In the Villa". He also starred in the TV series Miss Marple Agatha Christie, Poirot, Merlin and others, and they all have a high rating.
