Career

Knox is perhaps best known for his roles as Dr. Peter White, the medical resident-turned rapist on St. Elsewhere, on which he appeared during that show's first three seasons (1982–84). Knox followed this with his role as Sergeant 'Zeke' Anderson on Tour of Duty.[5] In 1992, he starred in the horror film Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice, followed by a role in the television film A Mother's Right: The Elizabeth Morgan Story (1992).[2]

He has guest-starred in other shows such as V.I.P., Pacific Blue, The Dukes of Hazzard, Murder, She Wrote and SeaQuest 2032 and has starred in several other series including All Is Forgiven, Rescue 77 and The Road Home.[6]

He was an Inland Gloves amateur boxing champion, with 56 wins and one loss. In 2015, Knox appeared onstage in his hometown of Richland, appearing in a stage production of Ordinary People.[4] and in Frost/Nixon[7] in 2016.
