Lost Star Matthew Fox Explains Why He Stopped Acting
Lost star Matthew Fox revealed why he quit acting for over half a decade. Although the actor's career began in 1992 with roles in TV series including Wings and Freshman Dorm, he first rose to prominence in the role of Charlie Salinger on the family drama Party of Five, on which he starred for all 6 seasons from 1994 through 2000. Not long afterward, he found himself with another starring role, playing Dr. Jack Shephard, one of the lead characters of the sci-fi mystery box series Lost, which ran from 2004 through 2010. His co-stars included Josh Holloway, Terry O'Quinn, Jorge Garcia, Daniel Dae Kim, Yunjin Kim, and Evangeline Lilly, who went on to play The Wasp in the MCU's Ant-Manmovies.
Fox also had the opportunity to appear in some major projects after Lost went off the air. He largely transitioned to film afterward, with his first big project being a role in the James Patterson adaptation Alex Cross, which starred Tyler Perry as the titular action hero. The next year, he appeared in another big-budget novel adaptation, the zombie action flick World War Z, which was loosely based on the Max Brooks book of the same name and starred Brad Pitt and Mireille Enos. However, his credits came to a halt abruptly in 2015 after he appeared in the Kurt Russell horror-Western Bone Tomahawk, which was helmed by Brawl in Cell Block 99director S. Craig Zahler.
