Michael Fox

Michael Fox (February 27, 1921June 1, 1996) was an American character actor.

Two of his regular TV roles were as the coroner in the courtroom drama Perry Mason, and as Saul Feinberg on the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful from 1989-1996.

He is also notable for being the reason Michael J. Fox registered his name with a middle initial when he first joined the Screen Actors Guild (to differentiate his name from "Michael Fox").

Among his earlier television work was the next-to-last episode of Adventures of Superman, as the ringleader of a criminal gang that tried to conduct a Perils of Pauline-style series of murder attempts on the show's various protagonists (see illustration).

Fox died June 1, 1996, in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California.
