Warren Cox

Warren Cox was an antagonist from the 1985 film Brewster's Millions.

He was portrayed by Stephen Collins.

Cox was introduced to Monty Brewster by his girlfriend Angela Drake. Like Drake, he worked for the law firm of Granville & Baxter. Brewster was in the process of spending $30 million in 30 days left by his rich uncle in order to get his real inheritance of $300 million. Drake was assigned as an accountant to keep track of Brewster's spending, but did not know what was going on.

Cox was let in on the plan by the corrupt Granville and Baxter, who wanted Brewster to fail in spending the money so that they would obtain the $300 million. Cox worked his way into Brewster's inner circle. Under their instructions, Cox hid a $20,000 deposit so that he could spring it on Brewster at the last possible moment, causing Brewster to fail to fulfil the terms of his uncle's will and losing out on the $300 million.

After Brewster spent the entire $30 million, Cox sprung the $20,000 deposit on Brewster at the last possible moment. He watched as Brewster tried to explain what happened, eagerly awaiting the stroke of midnight where Brewster would lose out on the $300 million and he would be made a partner in the firm. As he observed Brewster talking with Granville and Baxter, Drake approached and asked what was going on. Cox let her in on the secret.

Drake stormed in to the conference and let Brewster know that Cox, Granville, and Baxter were out to defraud her. Brewster was able to give her the $20,000 so she could go back to law school by midnight, and gained the $300 million inheritance afterwards.

Executor Edward Roundfield then ordered an investigation of Cox, Granville, and Baxter. As Brewster and Drake left together, Brewster told Cox that he would see him in the funny papers.
