Personal life and education

[edit]

Richard Cox, who's full name is Richard Cox Zuckerman, was born on May 6, 1948 in New York City, New York, USA. He is the only child of Gabe Zuckerman and Roseanna Cox, both of whom were professional dancers. He first took stage at the age of eight with his mother at the Petersburg Players Professional Theatre in Peterborough, New Hampshire, who frequently performed there. Cox cited it as the spark that got him interested in the theatre and still considers himself a member of the institution.[3] Cox trained at the American Repertory Theater when he was young.[4] Cox then went on to study at Yale, dual majoring in drama and anthropology.

He was previously married to fellow actor, Joanna Heimbold in February of 1994 until they later had their marriage annulled after 11 days.[5] He then went on to marry Sarah Butcher in 1997 and have two children.[6][better source needed]

Cox performed on Broadway with Ingrid Bergman in Captain Brassbound's Conversion before going to Hollywood in 1975 with the national company of Grease.[citation needed]
