Fierce 5 Member # 1 - Rick Fox


Rick Fox is a former NBA superstar and budding Hollywood talent. The following is from Wikipedia.com.

Ulrich Alexander "Rick" Fox (born July 24, 1969) is a Canadian television actor and retired professional basketball player.

Fox began his pro-basketball career when he was selected by the Boston Celtics in the first round (24th pick overall) of the 1991 NBA Draft. Fox played for thirteen seasons in the NBA (from 1991–1997 with Boston and from 1997–2004 with the Los Angeles Lakers).

Fox's acting credits include playing prison inmate Jackson Vahue on the HBO prison drama Oz. He has also appeared in a number of basketball themed films, namely Eddie, He Got Game, and Blue Chips. Fox was a producer of The 1 Second Film, the largest collaborative nonprofit film ever created.

Fox married the actress/singer Vanessa L. Williams in a quiet ceremony in the Bahamas; they then followed with an elaborate ceremony in New York in September 1999. Fox and Williams have a daughter, Sasha, born on May 1, 2000. After The National Enquirer published pictures of Fox kissing another woman in mid-2004, Fox's representative announced that the couple had been "headed toward divorce" for over a year. In August 2004, Fox filed for divorce.

Rick Fox is not only one of the greatest role players in NBA history but he's a fuc*ing pimp. He played Vanessa Williams and now he's a budding celebrity after appearances in Oz and Dirt. He once ran across the court and boxed Doug Christie's ears and he hates the Celtics. Nuff said! Give me one night in LA with this dude and we set the town onn fire! The first choice for the Fierce 5 is obvious...Mr. Fox!
