Favorite Birthday Boy #2 for July 14th

Matthew Fox
From: Favorite Hunks & Other Things

 I like Matthew Fox on Lost, but I loved Matthew Fox on Party of Five. That shaggy hair and unshaven look was so hot to me. Last pic below is the Matthew I know and love! Matthew turns 48 today.

 Matthew Chandler Fox (born July 14, 1966) is an American actor. He is known for his roles as Charlie Salinger on Party of Five and Jack Shephard on the supernatural drama television series Lost.

 Fox was born in Abington, Pennsylvania, the son of Loretta B. (née Eagono) and Francis G. Fox. One of his paternal great-great-great-grandfathers was Union General George Meade. His father was from a "very blue-blood" Pennsylvania family of mostly English descent, while his mother was of half Italian and half British Isles ancestry. When Fox was a year old, he moved to Wyoming with his parents and siblings, Francis, Jr. (b. 1961) and Bayard (b. 1969). They settled in Crowheart, on the Wind River Indian Reservation. His mother was a teacher, and his father, who had been a consultant for an oil company, raised longhorn cattle and horses, and grew barley for Coors beer. When Fox was young, his parents worked as caretakers of the remote "Bitterroot Ranch" outside Dubois, Wyoming.

 Fox graduated from high school in Wyoming and attended Deerfield Academy for a post-graduate year. Following Deerfield, Fox attended Columbia University, where he majored in Economics and became a brother of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. Fox interviewed for a job to sell stocks at Prudential-Bache.

 Fox met his wife, Margherita Ronchi, at university, and they married shortly after in 1992. They have two children, a daughter named Kyle and a son named Byron.

 Fox is a keen photographer. A bonus disc released with The Complete First Series of Lost includes features "The Art of Matthew Fox", showing pictures he took of the cast and crew while on set.

 On August 28, 2011, Fox was reported to have punched a female bus driver in the chest and pelvic area after he attempted to board a party bus reserved for a private bachelor party outside of Christie's Cabaret in Cleveland, Ohio. On September 16, 2011, a spokeswoman for the city of Cleveland announced that prosecutors had decided not to charge Fox. A civil suit related to the alleged incident has been filed.

 On May 6, 2012, Fox was arrested for driving under the influence in Oregon. He was taken into custody and released that same day. On June 1, 2012, Fox's lawyer entered a plea of no contest to one count of DUI in Deschutes County Circuit Court and stated that they will move forward with a diversion program to avoid criminal charges.
