Knox is perhaps best known for his roles as Dr. Peter White, the medical resident-turned rapist on St. Elsewhere. He performed during that show's first three seasons (1982–84). Knox followed this with his role as Sergeant 'Zeke' Anderson on Tour of Duty.[2] 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).[3]
He has guest-starred in many shows such as V.I.P., Pacific Blue, V, The Dukes of Hazzard, Murder, She Wrote, The Twilight Zone, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, and SeaQuest 2032. He starred in several short-lived TV series, including All Is Forgiven, Rescue 77 and The Road Home.[4]
Knox has appeared onstage in his hometown Richland, Washington, in productions of Ordinary People in 2015[1] and Frost/Nixon in 2016.[5]
