Biography
Michael J. Fox, born Michael Andrew Fox on June 9, 1961, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, is a well-renowned Canadian-American actor, author, and advocate for Parkinson’s disease research. Fox had an early interest in acting, and at the age of fifteen, he made his professional acting debut in the Canadian TV series, Leo and Me. His breakthrough role came in 1982 when he portrayed Alex P. Keaton, a conservative teenager, in the popular TV sitcom Family Ties. This role not only garnered him widespread recognition but also earned him three Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award. His success on Family Ties led to numerous opportunities in Hollywood, and Fox transitioned into the film industry with great success. He became a household name with his iconic portrayal of Marty McFly in the Back to the Future trilogy (1985-1990), which further cemented his status as a prominent actor in the industry. Despite his rising career, in 1991, Fox was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson’s disease at the age of 29. Instead of retiring from the public eye, he decided to go public with his diagnosis in 1998, becoming an advocate for Parkinson’s research and raising awareness about the disease. He founded the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, which has since become one of the largest nonprofit organizations dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease. Fox continued to act in both television and film while battling Parkinson’s disease. Notable TV appearances include his leading role in the sitcom Spin City, for which he won an Emmy Award, and guest appearances on shows like The Good Wife. In film, he starred in projects such as Doc Hollywood, The American President, and The Frighteners. Beyond acting, Fox has also authored three bestselling memoirs, including Lucky Man and Always Looking Up, in which he candidly shares his experiences with Parkinson’s disease and his optimistic outlook on life. Michael J. Fox’s contributions to the entertainment industry, his advocacy work for Parkinson’s disease research, and his unwavering spirit in the face of adversity have made him an inspiration to many. He remains an influential and beloved figure, having left an indelible mark on both the entertainment world and the fight against Parkinson’s disease.
