American actor Matthew Fox starred in one of the cult TV series Lost. He embodied the image of a charismatic team leader.
The secret to the success of one of the most expensive television projects was not only a famously twisted plot, but also a competent selection of actors. Initially, the hero of Fox died in the first series. However, the story of the attractive character and personal qualities of the artist liked the producers so much that he appeared in each series for six years.
Carier start
The future famous artist was born in Abington. The biography of Matthew Chandler Fox began in 1966, July 14. Mom worked as a teacher at school, father worked as a consultant in an oil company. The boy spent his childhood on a farm. In Crowhart, the family of the future celebrity took up growing barley and raising livestock.
After graduating from high school, the graduate entered the Deerfield Academy. He continued his education at the Faculty of Economics at Columbia University. While the young man was preparing for a career on Wall Street, one of his mother’s girlfriends, an employee of a modeling agency, invited the guy with a textured appearance to appear in commercials.
Matthew liked the new activity, but he completed his education, received a diploma. For two years, Fox worked as a model and at the same time studied acting classes. He moved to Los Angeles.
The aspiring actor had to visit a lot of castings, listening to numerous directorial refusals and experiencing financial difficulties.
Matthew was already thinking about continuing the farming family business, and not about a movie career. Good luck came in 1992. Fox got a small role in the television series "Wings". He was followed by a successful and notable work in the television show "Five of us." For six seasons, the telenovela received the Golden Globe.
In 1993, the artist received a major role in a melodramatic film with elements of the horror film “A Guy from the Other World”. At the same time, Matthew was casting in the teenage series "Special School Holidays."
In 2002, the actor was offered the main character of the mystical thriller "Ghost Talking". Fox's character was an unusual police officer. Frank Taylor reveals tangled matters with his special gift. Ghosts who want to punish their offenders give the right clues to the police officer in the investigation.
Star role
Two years later, the artist again got a job in a project related to secrets and mysticism. He was invited to play in the telenovela "Lost" or "Lost." Matthew was really hoping to play Sawyer's negative hero. Fox believed that this character has many of his own traits.
Jack Shepard was originally intended for Michael Keaton, but the actor refused to act because of the too short life of the movie hero. Matthew agreed to participate. The artist’s tattoos carefully masked at first, made by him in his youth, fit perfectly into the image. The directors came to the conclusion that tattoos perfectly convey Shepard's inner world. In an interview, the actor admitted that he could not even imagine the success of the project.
The play of the artist impressed the producers so much that the script was amended. The telenovela went from 2004 to 2010. Actors who starred in the project became stars. The glory and the performer of the role of a charismatic and courageous doctor did not pass by. He has become one of the highest paid serial performers.
At the same time, we were shooting the drama "We Are One Team", the dramatic action movie "Trump Aces", work began on the adaptation of the anime about the Speed Racer. In 2008, Fox was offered the scoring of the computer game Speed Racer.
After completing six years of work in his most significant series, the artist for a year refused to film for the sake of time with his family. Once again, the audience saw the idol as the maniac Sullivan in the 2012 thriller "I, Alex Cross". He was very happy about the negative role he received.
