Matthew Fox is an actor cut from the proverbial leading-man cloth, carrying himself with strong charisma and a powerful presence.
In 2005 Fox shared the Screen Actors Guild Ensemble Award and was nominated for Golden Globe and Television Critics Association Awards for achievement in dramatic acting for Lost.
He will soon be seen in the feature film Speed Racer, directed by Andy & Larry Wachowski, as Speed`s one-time rival, the mysterious Racer X. He also completed production on Vantage Point for director Pete Travis. The thriller depicts the attempted assassination of the president from eight different points of view, and Fox and his co-star, Dennis Quaid, play the secret service agents. He was most recently seen in We are Marshall, directed by McG.
Fox starred in the successful series Party of Five and has numerous television credits, including his starring role in the critically acclaimed series Haunted and the telefilm Behind the Mask, in which he starred opposite Donald Sutherland.
Hailing from a ranch in Wyoming where his family raised horses and barley, Fox enjoyed the all-American upbringing that led him to play football at Columbia University, where he also studied Economics. With every intent of being a successful Wall Street broker, Fox was instead swayed to modeling, leading to some commercial spots, and he has been sold on acting ever since.
