Line 3:
Michael J. Fox is a [[Useful Notes/Canada|Canadian]] actor, author, [[Celebrity Voice Actor|voice over artist]], and [[The Woobie|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 (Filmfilm)|Teen Wolf]]''. He also did [[Tom Hanks Syndrome|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.
Line 9:
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: theThe 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 [[The Colbert Report|show]].
