- Rich smooth voice
- Fox left the acting profession for nine years (1970-1979) after he filmed Performance (1970) with Mick Jagger. A combination of his father's recent death, the strain of filming and smoking the hallucinogen DMT with Mick Jagger led to a nervous breakdown. Fox subsequently joined a religious organisation known as "The Navigators" which is similar to the Gideons and is closely associated with the ministry of Billy Graham.
- He played King George V and his son Laurence Fox played King George VI in W. E. - Die Romanze des Jahrhunderts (2011). His elder brother Edward Fox played George V's son and successor King Edward VIII (the Duke of Windsor) in Edward & Mrs. Simpson (1978).
- Joint winner with Julie Christie of the 1963 Variety Club of Great Britain Most Promising Newcomer Award.
- Had a relationship with the actress Sarah Miles in the early 1960s.
- He was cast as Lord William Holmes in Die Stunde der Patrioten (1992) after his elder brother Edward Fox left the film.
- [on his 9-year break from acting]: People think Performance (1970) blew my mind... my mind was blown long before that.
- Performance (1970) gave me doubts about my way of life. Before that I had been completely involved in the more bawdy side of the film business. But after that everything changed.
- After I made "Performance", for about a year and a half I started to try and reform my life. I thought it was a mess. I did start going back to church and I started to read the New Testament.
