Michael J. Fox to play a character who has Parkinson's disease.

Michael J. Fox on Parkinson’s In Life and New Show: “Sometimes It’s Funny”

“I feel that this is the reflection of my experience and certainly in the pilot it was more prevalent than it is in subsequent scripts,” said Fox. “The way I look at life and the reality of Parkinson’s… sometimes it’s frustrating and sometimes it’s funny.”

He continued, “I need to look at it that way and other people need to look at it that way. Beyond that we all got our own bag of hammers… I think people will look at that and say, ‘Yeah, I need to laugh at my own stuff, too.’”

Fox wants to show the audience the “kind of stuff I deal with on a daily basis.”

“There’s nothing horrifying [about Parkinson's] to me,” explained the actor. “It’s not horrible. I don’t think it’s gothic nastiness. There’s nothing on the surface horrible about someone with shaking hands
