SAM FOX & MICHAEL J. FOX

Actor Michael J. Fox rose to fame for his role as Alex P. Keaton on the popular sitcom Family Ties. He went on to star in the teenage adventure Back to the Future and its sequels and Teen Wolf, before returning to television in the 1990s in Spin City. In 1999, Fox announced that he was battling Parkinson’s disease. He left Spin City in 2000 to start the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and focused on family, and later became a guest on shows like Scrubs, Boston Legal, and The Good Wife.

Back to the Future, without a doubt, crafted Michael the “Marty McFly” nick which made him world-renowned. Before then, his performance in the NBC show Family Ties kick-started his rise to fame. Michael had one major challenge, though – his health. He was diagnosed with long-term degenerative disorder (Parkinson’s Disease) at the age of 29. But with his investment in encompassing life insurance, Michael enjoyed the best of treatment and medication – a factor which contributed to his unshakable presence in Hollywood. With his union with Tracy Pollen resulting in four children, his eldest son, Sam can be described as a cloned version of Michael. Despite the number of watchful eyes on Sam, the young individual seems to be enjoying his youth.
