Jonas Fogg

Jonas Fogg (also known as Mr. Fogg) is a supporting antagonist of the 1979 musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and the 2007 live-action film of the same name. He is the head of the local insane asylum who is in league with Judge Turpin.

He was portrayed by Philip Philmar in the film.

History
Fogg first appeared when Turpin had Beadle Bamford to send Johanna Barker (the daughter of Benjamin and Lucy Barker) to the asylum after hearing of her intent to elope with a young sailor named Anthony Hope. Due to his lust towards Johanna, Turpin tells Fogg to keep Johanna locked away until she agrees to marry Turpin instead, a proposal that Fogg agreed to.

Unwilling to let Johanna suffer the horrors of Fogg's asylum, Anthony decides to break her out. On the advice of Sweeney Todd (who happens to be Benjamin in secret), Anthony poses as a wigmaker's apprentice to enter the asylum and rescue Johanna. However, Fogg has caught up and intends to stop them in their tracks, only to end up being killed while Anthony and Johanna escaped to Todd's shop.

Fogg's fate differ in two versions between the play and movie. In the play, Anthony intends to shoot down Fogg with a pistol, but cannot bring himself to do it, forcing an annoyed Johanna to grab the pistol herself and shoot Fogg to his death. In the movie, as opposed to being shot by Johanna, Fogg is overwhelmed and brutally mauled to death by several female inmates who were freed by Anthony.
