Dennis Fox is an actor and director. Born in San Francisco, his family relocated multiple times, moving from the West Coast to the East, the Midwest, and ending up in Seattle, Washington. Initially drawn to the Theater from the backstage side, Dennis was awarded the Stephanie Dye Award for Technical Leadership upon graduating from High School. He went on to earn a BFA from Western Washington University with a concentration in directing and was named the Theater & Dance Departments Outstanding Graduate the year.


Dennis began his theatrical career as a stage manager. He was awarded a much sought after internship at Seattle Repertory Theatre and was subsequently hired for a second season. An opportunity to assistant direct for Robert Egan at the Public Theater brought him to New York City where he stayed. Moving quickly from job to job, Dennis found himself stage managing opera more often than theater or dance. He rose up the ranks of regional opera companies working for the Santa Fe Opera and the Lyric Opera of Chicago among others.


While working as a stage manager, Dennis also served as Associate Artistic Director for the Moving Target Theatre Company in Brooklyn, NY for two years, where he directed a production of "Adventures Of A Female Person" starring Loudon Wainwright III and produced an early production of Paula Vogel's "Desdemona" directed by Gordon Edelstein among others. During this time Dennis also began acting in various productions and performed for two seasons with the award-winning Paper Bag Players, in the company of the inimitable Jan Maxwell.


Realizing that in order to serve his directing ambitions and to satisfy his growing interest in acting it would be best to hang up the headsets for a time, Dennis turned down an offer to return to the Lyric Opera and auditioned and was accepted to the MFA program at the University of California, San Diego, as an actor. Part of the training regiment at the time was instruction in the Suzuki Method as taught by Steve Pearson and Robin Hunt. Dennis accompanied them to Japan for a month's long training session in Toga, Japan with Tadashi Suzuki's company. During his time at UCSD Dennis was cast in several productions at the La Jolla Playhouse including the original company of "The Who's Tommy".


After graduating, Dennis returned to New York where he continues to pursue both acting and directing opportunities as well as occasionally picking up those headsets. He has participated in just shy of two-hundred live productions to date and is looking forward to more.
