Michael J. Fox Episode(s): My Catalyst, My Porcelain God Michael J. Fox, one of television's most beloved stars, returns to series television to guest star in two episodes of NBC's hit comedy "Scrubs". In the episodes, Fox will play a surgical doctor who suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but has found a way to use his idiosyncrasy to his advantage. His appearance on the show will also mark the creative reunion of the star and "Spin City" creator and "Scrubs" executive producer Bill Lawrence. Fox, who rose to stardom as the precocious Alex P. Keaton on NBC's "Family Ties," has created many memorable characters in his over twenty year career. Following "Family Ties," a role which earned him three Emmy awards and a Golden Globe, Fox went on to star in numerous feature films including the "Back to the Future" series, "Teen Wolf," "Secret of My Success," "For Love or Money," "Doc Hollywood," "The American President" and Woody Allen's television movie "Don't Drink the Water." He then returned to series television to executive produce and star on the television series "Spin City" as Deputy Mayor Michael Flaherty again earning numerous honors including three Golden Globes, two SAG awards and an Emmy for Best Actor. Most recently he lent his voice to the title character in the highly successful animated features "Stuart Little" and "Stuart Little 2". In addition to his ongoing career in entertainment, Fox has spent a majority of his time over the last few years establishing the Michael J. Fox Foundation dedicated to fundraising and lobbying for genetic research to assist people suffering from Parkinson's disease. He has also honed his skills as a director helming a memorable episode of "Tales from the Crypt" and an episode of "Brooklyn Bridge." His autobiography, "Lucky Man," earned a spot on the New York Times best-seller list for several weeks last year. |
