Laurence Paul Fox is an English actor. A member of the British entertainment industry's Fox family, he graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and debuted in the film The Hole (2001).
His best known role is James Hathaway in the TV drama series Lewis (2006–2015).
A conservative, Fox publicly criticised the George Floyd protests and COVID-19 vaccines in 2020. After founding the right-wing populist political party Reclaim, he stood unsuccessfully in the 2021 London mayoral election in opposition to what he deemed "extreme political correctness". He gained 1.9% of the vote, thus losing his election deposit. He subsequently stood in the 2024 London Assembly election, in which he also lost his deposit. Fox's political career has resulted in several controversies and legal disputes.
