Laurence Paul Fox (born 26 May 1978) 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).

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Fox was a frequent critic of the British government's response to the pandemic. He was also publicly critical of the George Floyd protests that began 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. Provided by Wikipedia
