It'd be cool to see him in one or two more tv/movie appearances...
Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Michael J. Fox. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
In this classic episode, Kris Kringle is brought to trial for being Kris Kringle.
With less than a week until Halloween, you've got plenty of viewing to do.
Plus: USA Network gets into half-hour comedies, Bones casts its bad guy, and a Playboy Club star poses for Playboy.
Season 8 has come to a close with one last round of fights and feasts.
The very first time that I believe I saw MJF on screen was where he was playing a Doogie Howser-type character who was a very young medical genius. The next thing was "Family Ties", which ended up being one of my very favourite shows. His portrayal of Alex P. Keaton was flawless.
On top of that, of course, there were 3 excellent performances in the "Back to the Future" trilogy where he made Marty McFly a household name.
It was while filming "Doc Hollywood" in the early 90s that he first developed the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease. We have all followed his fight against this debilitating illness and I strongly admire the way that he uses his celebrity to help in the battle for funding and reserach. Married to actress Tracy Pollan and the father of four, Michael is also a writer and still appears on our screens on a semi-regular basis. I certainly wish him well and am grateful to have been able to follow the work of such a talented actor.
I've only seen Michael J. Fox in the Back to the Future trilogy, and in his two appearances on Scrubs, but it is pretty clear he is a talented actor. I hope to see him someday in Spin City and Family Ties. I have a lot of respect for him because he is a great actor, and his battle with Parkinson's Disease, he remains tough throughout it, which shows bravery. I like him a lot as an actor and he is one of the few famous people in the world I wish I could meet. I hope they find a cure for Parkinson's someday, not just for him, but for everyone who has it
...but as far as performance goes, nothing tops "Alex P. Keaton" for me! Mainly because I am almost totally opposed to anything that character stood for, and yet MJF made him likable if not always lovable. I think the other thing I liked about comedy of that time, was that when you do selfish things, it comes back to you. It made the characters, like "Alex" more human somehow; unlike today's mean comedy for mean's sake. Spin City was also a little piece of brilliance, and probably the last decent sitcom on TV; largely thanks to Michael J Fox, his smart story lines and characters you wanted to see.
BttF was a good movie, though there were some I could have left...
But his enduring legacy will be his spirit, which showed itself in his work long before he was compelled to show it in his life. He works hard for the right reasons and that's why he gets the right results.
An admirable man and an admirable performer.
Michael J. Fox is a terrific actor. I have plenty of respect for him and what he's done in his career. He's been really good in everything he's been in and I have to say that I can't think of one time where he hasn't been great. I best would remember Michael in the Back to the Future trilogy. He was great as Marty McFly and I can't imagine anyone else playing that role better than him. He instantly made that movie a classic. I don't think that it would have been as successful without him. I respect him for being open about his Parkinsons disease and I think that he's been very much a class act in trying to find a cure. Michael will always be one of my favorite actors. Thank you.
He's before my time but in what ever i've seen him i enjoyed very much so. I had no idea that he was from Canada, for some reason i just thought he was from the united states of american. Sadly though, not so long ago, he was dianosed with some weird dieseae. I think it has something to do with why he looks so young while he's like in his late 40's. With the health problem we ain't gonna see him as much any more. He's trying to find a cure. But we haven't heard nothing esle on the matter of life or death.
