Michael J. Fox Says He's Open to Acting Again After Announcing Retirement (Exclusive)


The icon announced his retirement in 2020 but tells ET he's open to the right role.

The scene that led him to retire featured Leonardo DiCaprio's Rick Dalton character having a meltdown in his trailer when he couldn't remember his lines. - GettyOver the course of his storied career, Fox appeared in a number of iconic TV shows and films, including The Love Boat, Night Court, Spin City, Teen Wolf and, of course, the Back to the Future franchise in which he starred as Marty McFly opposite Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson. And while Fox continued acting amid his Parkinson's diagnosis -- which he publicly disclosed for the first time in 1998 -- there were signs that things were getting incredibly challenging for him, and that was no more evident than when he appeared on The Good Fight.
