Onscreen, in films and television[edit]

Fogg was played by David Niven in the 1956 film adaptation of the book; by Pierce Brosnan in
the 1989 television adaptation; by Steve Coogan in the 2004 film adaptation by The Walt Disney
Company; and by Michael Praed in The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne.
In the 1972 animated series, Fogg was voiced by Alastair Duncan. This version of Fogg took the
bet to travel the world in eighty days in order to win the hand of Lord Maze's niece, Belinda.
An 1980s cartoon series, Around the World with Willy Fog was based on, and expanded on, the
original story. The characters are anthropomorphisms of various animals.
In a television episode of Have Gun, Will Travel starring Richard Boone, Fogg was used in the
episode "Fogg Bound" that first aired on 3 December 1960.[1]
On the TV show Voyagers!, Fogg is said to have been named after the main character Phineas
Bogg, when the latter met Jules Verne in Montmartre.
In the 1963 movie The Three Stooges Go Around the World in a Daze, Moe, Larry, and Curly Joe
circle the globe with Phileas Fogg III.[2]
Around the World in 80 Days was a BBC television travel series first broadcast in 1989. It was
presented by comedian and actor Michael Palin, who followed Fogg's journey and modes of
transport as closely as possible, and achieved the feat in 79 days 7 hours.
The creators of Disney's Phineas and Ferb named Phineas Flynn after Phileas Fogg, whose first
name is changed to Phineas in some adaptations.[3]
