It’s great to see Michael J. Fox back on TV. The former Spin City and Family Ties star has signed on to guest star on CBS’ legal drama The Good Wife next season. He will play Simon Canning, a shrewd and cynical litigator whom Alicia (Julianna Margulies) faces in a massive class action. Canning is willing to use anything in court, including symptoms of his neurological condition, to create sympathy for his otherwise unsympathetic client: a giant pharmaceutical company.
Fox, who has Parkinson’s rarely does acting gigs. In the past 5 years, he has only done 2: arcs on Boston Legal and Rescue Me. Both earned him Emmy noms, and he won for Rescue Me last year. I bet he will get another nom for Good Wife next year.

class act.
Agreed. Classy.
Can’t wait. MJF is just going to make the best show on tv even better.
he’s one of the good ones
Sure he’s a great guy and has done amazing things for charity. Great great stuff.
But also, personally, I had the pleasure of riding his coattails in college as a small freckled kid who “looked like Michael J Fox”. It worked like a charm. He gallantly pushed Opie from the Andy Griffith show aside to allow reddish head dudes with spots their moment in the sun (and without getting sunburn).
God bless him.
Read his book “LUCKY MAN”. It’s phenomenal.
He didn’t even sign a contract. He just shook on it.
