Walter Fox

Contest:
2023 Fictitious Rock and Roll Contributors -- Round 1
-
A composite of record executives (mostly at CBS) that Paul Simon had to deal with in his past, Walter Fox (Rip Torn) was the studio head who had Jonah Levin (Simon) under contract. Like most record executives, Fox only cared about the bottom line and did not understand artists, as was evident in the way he tried to manipulate Levin's work. He wasn't a likable character or one you wanted to respect, but that, of course, was the point.
