 Michael J. Fox is a Canadian actor, author, voice over artist, and woobie with a face that seems born to make us laugh.He started off as a Teen Idol in The Eighties, making a dual hit on both film and television as Marty McFly from the Back to the Future trilogy (1985-1990) and Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties (1982-1989), for which he won three Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award. A rather popular but generally less famous role was the main character in Teen Wolf. He also did some serious stuff that almost no one remembers, and he's acknowledged that he isn't an actor who can "blend" into a wide variety of roles.In The Nineties, he played Mike Flaherty on Spin City (1996-2000), for which he won an Emmy, three Golden Globes, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991, and disclosed his condition to the public in 1998. Fox semi-retired from acting in 2000 as the symptoms of his disease worsened. He has since become an advocate for research towards finding a cure.Despite his "retirement" he has guest starred on various television shows and also some voice acting work, most notably Stuart Little and Atlantis: The Lost Empire, where his distinctive child-like voice adds to the generally benign nature of his characters. Some of his guest spots have him pigeon-holed as a man with an illness, when he guested on Boston Legal he had lung cancer, and when he guested on Scrubs he had OCD.He also appeared as himself in his prime time special Michael J. Fox: Adventures of an Incurable Optimist (A Personal Journey of Hope) in May 2009. On May 4, 2010, he (for lack of a better word) trolled Stephen Colbert on his own show.Filmography
