Fox talks about how it feels to walk away from series TV and how he plans to wage war against Parkinson’s disease Michael J. Fox has always been someone you want to root for — whether as smart-aleck Alex P. Keaton in Family Ties, slacker Marty McFly in the Back to the Future trilogy or deputy mayor Michael Flaherty in Spin City. In each of these roles and in his performances in such films as Casualties of War and The American President, he has captured the bright young man whose endearing self-confidence helps him succeed despite overwhelming odds. So, in 1998, when Fox publicly revealed that he had had Parkinson’s disease for the past seven years — a progressive neurological disorder that as yet has no cure — his fans rallied round him, deluging him with cards and letters of support. In January, Fox, 38, announced that he would leave Spin City (except for occasional appearances next season) and redirect his time and energy. (Charlie Sheen, whom Fox calls "a great actor and a great guy," will be the series’s new star.) Since then, Fox has devoted himself to his family (he and his wife, actress Tracy Pollan, 39, have three kids, Sam, 10, and 5-year-old twin daughters Aquinnah and Schuyler) and to the fight for a cure for Parkinson’s. He has lobbied Congress for research funding, set up the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and is developing a Web site so that fans can contribute to his cause. As upbeat and animated as always, Fox recently sat down in New York City with TV Guide editor-in-chief Steven Reddicliffe to talk about how he feels — both physically and emotionally — about leaving TV and about what lies ahead. TV Guide: How are you doing now that you’ve filmed the final show? Michael J. Fox: There’s a feeling of accomplishment and pride. There are obviously bittersweet feelings about friendships... But once I gathered the cast in my dressing room and talked to them about [my decision to leave] — it was certainly emotional and a big shock to them. And trust me, you don’t want to be the person who gets all these people together and says, "Guess what? You may be out of work." But once I told them, I didn’t regret it for a second.
