Thomas William "Tom" Simcox (born June 17, 1937) is a former actor who resides in the unincorporated community of Leona Valley west of Palmdale in Los Angeles County, California.
Simcox appeared in the 13-episode Warner Brothers television series Code R, which aired on CBS from January 21 to June 10, 1977. Code R focuses on the emergency services, fire, police, and ocean rescue, of the California Channel Islands. Simcox played the police chief, Walt Robinson. The series had good scripts, beautiful scenery, and strong characters but never attracted the needed audience.
Simcox's television career began in 1962 with appearances on two ABC series, The Naked City, a police drama set in New York City, and Ben Casey, a medical drama starring Vince Edwards. That same year, he appeared as a waiter in CBS's Perry Mason legal drama with Raymond Burr. In 1963, Simcox appeared on the episode "Beyond His Reach" of ABC's college drama, Channing, starring Jason Evers and Henry Jones. Simcox also appeared in 1963 in two NBC dramas, Wendell Corey's The Eleventh Hour (as Joe Parker in episode entitled "Hang by One Hand") and in Gary Lockwood's The Lieutenant, about the United States Marine Corps (as Captain Brett Parker in episode "To Take Up Serpents"). He managed to appear in numerous episodes that same year on ABC's General Hospital soap opera.
