                            | Bernard Fox was
                              descended from a long line of British stage
                              actors; perhaps his most famous forebear was his
                              uncle, veteran comic actor Wilfred Lawson. Fox
                              made his screen debut in 1956's Soho
                              Incident, appearing in several other British
                              films before he was brought to Hollywood by
                              actor/producer Danny Thomas in 1963. Generally
                              cast in stuffy, old-school-tie roles, the
                              toothbrush-mustached Fox flourished in American
                              films and TV programs well into the late 1980s.
                              Bernard Fox is most widely recognized for his TV
                              work, notably his recurring appearances as
                              gentleman's gentleman Malcolm Merriweather on The
                              Andy Griffith Show and wacky warlock Dr.
                              Bombay on Bewitched;
                              he also played Dr. Watson opposite Stewart
                              Granger's Sherlock Holmes in the 1972 TV-movie
                              adaptation of The
