Fønss' leading role in the 1913 Danish classic Atlantis made his face recognizable to movie fans. It was his role as the mad-scientist in the 1916 German science fiction film series, Homunculus, that earned Fønss status as a top matinee idol. In the 1930s, Fønss became politically active by directing two films for Denmark's Socialdemokratiske Parti (Social Democracy Party), Den Store Dag (1930) and Under Den Gamle Fane (1932). He was president of the Danish Actor's Union from 1933–1947 and was a censor for the National Film Censor of Denmark for 14 years. Fønss was the older brother of actors Johannes and Aage Fønss.
