Fox also starred in movies such as "Teen Wolf", "Light of Day" and "The Secret of My Success"
He returned to television in political comedy "Spin City", winning multiple awards, but semi-retired from acting in 2000 after announcing he had Parkinson's disease and wanted to focus his efforts on research for a cure.
Fox took roles in other shows including "Boston Legal" and in 2013, starred in a TV comedy "The Michael J. Fox Show" loosely based on his own life suffering from Parkinson's.
Fox married his "Family Ties" co-star Tracy Pollan in 1988 and they have four children.
