Heyello! 11 Bahamian Celebrities We Love (And Per The Usual, A Few Surprises…)

- By

Rick Fox

A Canadian actor with a Bahamian father and an Italian Canadian mother, Rick Fox was born in Toronto but moved with his family to the Bahamas when he was but a wee young’n (a three year old that is). The very delicious actor attended school in Nassau and was a star on the high school basketball team at Kingsway Academy. I haven’t noticed any type of accent (hey, I guess it’s been too long since he’s been back in the states), but Fox has spoken many times about his years in the Bahamas, and how he initially was made to feel like an outsider in The United States:

“Growing up in the Bahamas, race was not an issue as it was a mixed country. As a result, I consider myself of mixed heritage. But here in the States, I saw how important it was for people to define themselves as part of a specific group. I felt like an outsider in that respect.”
