A fifth generation performer, veteran character actor Bernard Fox appeared
onstage for the first time at age 18 months and by the time he was 14 was
not only acting but also working as an assistant stage manager for a repertory
theater. After service in the Royal Navy during World War II, he resumed his
career, soon joining the prominent York Repertory company and, later, London's
Whitehall Farce Players. Fox made his screen debut in "Spin a Dark Web/Soho
Incident" (1956) and played the man in the crow's nest of the Titanic
who spots the iceberg in 1958's "A Night to Remember". After a move
to Hollywood, he began landing roles in TV shows (most memorably as Dr. Bombay
on "Bewitched"). Fox also acted in such features as "Herbie
Goes to Monte Carlo" (1977) and "Private Eyes" (1980), both
with Don Knotts, and managed a particular feat: booking passage on the doomed
luxury liner a second time as Archibald Grace in James Cameron's Oscar-winning
"Titanic" (1997).
