Colin Fox (born November 20, 1938 in Aldershot, Ontario) is a Canadian actor. He has been active in film and television since the 1960s and possesses over 150 credits to his name in works ranging from Hollywood films to kids' cartoons. He most frequently appeared as villainous figures throughout his career, and while mostly retired since 2010, he has made a few small appearances in some other films and TV shows.
Among Colin Fox's most famous roles are Anton Hendricks in PSI Factor, Fritz Brenner in A Nero Wolfe Mystery, Roger Trilling in Daylight, and Nelson in Tommy Boy, but he's also noted for appearing as three different but equally cunning and ruthless villains on Friday the 13th: The Series (one of whom actually killed lead character, Micki Foster!). He's also known for his voice acting roles, such as the Professor on Nelvana's Animated Adaptation of Rupert Bear, the villainous Wizard on The Care Bears: Adventure in Wonderland, and King Harkinian in The Legend of Zelda (1989).
He was married to Carol Bermingham, until her death in 2015.
