Edward Fox, OBE (born 13 April 1937) is an English stage, film and television actor. He is best known for his roles in the films The Day of the Jackal (1973), A Bridge Too Far (1977) and Gandhi (1982), as well as for his performance as the title character in the 1980s ITV series Edward & Mrs. Simpson.

Born in Chelsea, London, Fox was the son of Robin Fox, a theatrical agent, and Angela Muriel Darita Worthington (née Belcher), an actress and writer. His elder brother James Fox is also an actor, and his younger brother Robert Fox is a producer. Fox was educated at Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge.

Fox made his stage debut in 1958, and his first film appearance in 1963. His big break came in 1971 when he was cast as the assassin in Fred Zinnemann’s The Day of the Jackal. He went on to appear in a number of high-profile films throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including A Bridge Too Far (1977), Gandhi (1982) and The Shooting Party (1985).

In 1980, Fox starred as the title character in the ITV series Edward & Mrs. Simpson, which was a huge ratings success. He also appeared in a number of stage productions during this period, including a critically acclaimed turn as Hamlet at the Old Vic in 1985.

Fox’s career took something of a dip in the early 1990s, but he bounced back with roles in such films as The Remains of the Day (1993) and The Scarlet Pimpernel (1995). He has continued to work steadily in film and television ever since.

Fox has been married twice: first to Tracy Reed from 1960 to 1977, with whom he had two sons; and secondly to Josephine Tewson from 1980 to present. He has four grandchildren.

In terms of his physical appearance, Fox is 6 feet 2 inches tall with blue eyes and dark hair. He is now in his early 80s but still looks remarkably youthful.
