Brother of Edward Fox. Son of Angela Fox. Father of Laurence Fox. Uncle of actress Emilia Fox. Had a relationship with the actress Sarah Miles in the early 1960s. Brother of producer Robert Fox. Fox left the acting profession for nine years (1970-79) after he filmed Performance with Mick Jagger. A combination of his father's recent death, the strain of filming and smoking the hallucinogen DMT with Mick Jagger led to a nervous breakdown. Fox subsequently joined a religious cult known as "The Navigators". His Patriot Games cast mate, Richard Harris, is also his niece's father-in-law. He replaced actor John Woods in the Old Vic's early 2006 production of the Arthur Miller play "Resurrection Blues", which was directed by Robert Altman in his London theatrical debut, one month before previews began. The play was widely panned by critics, partly due to the divergent acting styles of the eclectic cast assembled by Robert Altman, which included the Swiss actor Maximilian Schell as Fox's character's cousin.
