Party
of
Five
alum
Matthew
Fox
was
a
natural
fit
to
play
Dr.
Jack
Shepard,
the
head
of
a
proverbial
household
of
plane
crash
survivors.
But
while
his
leading-man
presence
led
to
big-screen
opportunities
in
the
likes
of
We
Are
Marshall, Speed
Racer, Alex
Cross
and World
War
Z,
Fox
didn’t
feel
the
need
to
go
back
after
making
Bone
Tomahawk
in
2014.
“I
wanted
to
do
a
Western,”
he
told
TV
Line
in
2022,
explaining
his
long
hiatus
from
acting. “It’s
a
very
odd
Western,
but
it’s
a
Western.
And
so
that
sort
of
completed
the
bucket
list.”
More
importantly,
he
added,
around
that
time
his
daughter
Kyle
and
son
Byron
with
wife
Margherita
Ronchi “were
at
an
age
where
I
felt
like
I
needed
to
really
reengage.
I
had
been
focused
on
work
for
some
time,
and
Margherita
had
been
running
the
family
so
beautifully,
but
I
felt
like
it
was
time
to
be
home,
and
I
really
felt
like
I
was
retiring
from
the
business,
and
working
on
other
creative
elements
that
are
really
personal
to
me—some
music
and
writing.”
Fox
returned
to
action
as
a
star
and
producer
of
the
Peacock
series Last
Light in
2022,
and
he
has
booked
roles
in
the
upcoming Yellowstone spin-off The
Madison and
the
Max
series The
Assassin.
