Overview
Michael Graham Cox (6 January 1938 – 30 April 1995) was an English actor.
Career
Born at Wolverhampton, and educated at Wolverhampton Grammar School, Cox moved to London after graduating in Music with German from Bristol University in the 1960s. First living at a flat in Oxford Street, he soon settled at Randolph Crescent W9, later being relocated by The Paddington Church Commissioners to a garden flat around the corner at 32 Clifton Gardens close to his favourite pubs The Warrington, The Prince Alfred, and The Warwick Castle, where he frequently socialised with friends including Jane Morgan, Tony Osoba, Michael Aspel and John Inman.
He is best remembered for voicing Boromir in the 1978 film The Lord of the Rings and the same character in the 1981 radio serialisation, as well as voicing Bigwig in the feature film Watership Down. But his 'Palmer' in Ken Russell's 1969 'Women in Love' is arguably his career highlight.
In 1982 he appeared as Wally Brabham in Minder episode 10 of series 3; "Broken Arrow".
