By Craig Shemon
Positive opinion: 73% Negative opinion: 4% Neutral opinion: 16% Have heard of: 94% Canadian-born Michael J. Fox has been entertaining audiences since playing a conservative Republican teenager in the hit comedy series "Family Ties.” International stardom followed soon after when he wowed audiences in "Back to the Future,” "Teen Wolf,” and "Doc Hollywood.” Since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991, Fox has worked tirelessly through The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to help combat and find a cure for the disease. For his work on-screen, Fox has garnered four Golden Globe and five Emmy awards.

Michael J Fox is 62 years old today. Happy birthday. Fox, is of course, one of America’s favorite actors. He is also one of a few actors with success and popularity in both TV and Film. Sadly, Parkinson’s cut his career short, although he is frequently in the public eye quite a bit while promoting awareness about Parkinson’s.

Most of America discovered Fox on NBC’s Family Ties TV Show in the mid 1980’s. He later found more success with the Back to the Future movie series. He later returned to TV on Spin City before his health began to fail him.

So, in order to celebrate his birthday, we will do Michael J Fox trivia on Wiki-Pete-ia on the Shemon and Sheppard Show on ESPN Southwest Florida.
