SOURCES OF WEALTH:

Rick has earned all his wealth being an actor, athlete and a basketball player.

BIRTH, CHILDHOOD AND EARLY LIFE:

Rick Fox was born on July 24, 1969 as Ulrich Alexander Rick Fox in Toronto. He was born to Dianne Gerace, an Italian Canadian who was an Olympic high jumper and women’s pentathlete, and Ulrich Fox, a Bahamian. Rick along with his parents moved to Bahamas which was his father’s native. He there attended Kingsway Academy in Nassau, where he was a member of the high school’s basketball team, the “Saints.” Rick also played high school basketball in Warsaw, Indiana and after his two seasons there, the Indian High School Athletic Association declared that he had no more high school eligibility left and thus he was not allowed to participate in any of the games organized by the Indian High School Athletic Association. He was later voted on to the Indiana All-Star team in 1987. He then went on to star at the University of North Carolina where his highlights included leading the Tar Heels to the 1991 NCAA Final Four. He graduated in 1991 with a B.A in Radio Television and Motion Pictures.

CAREER IN BASKETBALL:

Rick started playing basketball during his high school and never left it. He entered the NBA with modest beginnings. He averaged eight points and 2.7 rebounds in his first season with the Celtics, and was named to the 1991-1992 NBA All-Rookie Second Team. With Larry Bird injured for 45 games of his final NBA year, he had the opportunity to fill in for the veteran player. He played in 81 games, and ironically became the first Celtics rookie to start on opening night since Bird in 1979. By the 1993-94 season, Rick doubled his playing minutes and scored a career-high 33 points against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Rick’s increasing numbers indicated that he was settling in with his new team, but by the 1994-95 season, he watched pieces of the house he’d begun to build crumble. He was put on reserve after Dominique Wilkins joined the Celtics and was further handicapped by injuries that significantly cut his playing time. Toward the end of the season, he underwent surgery to repair bone spurs in his ankles. Another factor contributed to his troubled season–in 1994 Fox was identified as having Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). He played for Bolton Celtics and from 1997 until his retirement in 2004, Rick Fox played for the Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA.
