Michael J. Fox

Michael J. Fox (born June 9, 1961) is a Canadian-American actor, author and voice over artist. His roles include Marty McFly from the Back to the Future trilogy (1985–1990); Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties (1982–1989), for which he won three Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award; and Mike Flaherty from 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 toward finding a cure.
In recent years, he has guest starred on various television shows and appeared as himself in his Emmy nominated prime time special Michael J. Fox: Adventures of an Incurable Optimist (A Personal Journey of Hope) in May 2009.
Fox married actress Tracy Pollan on July 16, 1988, at West Mountain Inn in Arlington, Vermont. The couple have four children: Sam Michael Fox (born May 30, 1989), twins Aquinnah Kathleen and Schuyler Frances (born February 15, 1995), and Esmé Annabelle (born November 3, 2001). Fox holds dual Canadian-U.S. citizenship.
Fox started displaying symptoms of early-onset Parkinson’s disease in 1990 while shooting the movie Doc Hollywood, although he wasn’t properly diagnosed until the next year. After his diagnosis, Fox’s drinking, which had been a problem for many years, became even more marked; however, he sought help and stopped drinking altogether. In 1998, he decided to go public with his condition, and since then he has been a strong advocate of Parkinson’s disease research. His foundation, The Michael J. Fox Foundation, was created to help advance every promising research path to a Parkinson’s disease cure.
One of the few people to know that Fox had Parkinson’s Disease before 1998 was one of his best friends, his stunt double Charles Croughwell on Doc Hollywood. In later years, he and Fox developed a system of hiding the symptoms, as explained on E! True Hollywood Story.
Fox, in a 2006 interview with Katie Couric, explained his political advocacy, “I’m in this situation with millions of other Americans… and we have a right, if there’re answers out there, to pursue those answers with the full support of our politicians”.
