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: 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 [[The Colbert Report|show]].
