Tibbetts, ''The Cinema of Tony Richardson: Essays and Interviews'' (1999), p. 119: "It was Richardson who gave James Fox his first part as the public school runner who wins the race, despite the fact that his friend, agent Robin Fox, was bitterly against it: "We only had one quarrel, when he forbade me to offer his son 'Willie' James Fox a small role in ''The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner'', saying that his son had no talent and that for him to quit his job in a bank would be to disrupt his life."</ref>

In 1964, Fox won a [[BAFTA Award for Most Promising Newcomer to Leading Film Roles]] for ''[[The Servant (1963 film)|The Servant]]'' (1963), working alongside [[Dirk Bogarde]], [[Sarah Miles]], and [[Wendy Craig]].<ref name="bafta-1964">{{cite news |url= https://awards.bafta.org/award/1964/film/most-promising-newcomer-to-leading-film-roles |title= BAFTA Film - Most Promising Newcomer To Leading Film Roles in 1964 |work= awards.bafta.org |access-date= July 1, 2023}}</ref>
