Michael J. Fox is set to guest star in the third season of Apple TV+’s series “Shrinking,” a return to television that follows his earlier work in the industry. The announcement was shared via a collaborative Instagram post, with the caption hinting at “big feelings” due to Fox’s connection to the show. Although details about his role remain undisclosed, it’s noteworthy that Harrison Ford’s character in “Shrinking” grapples with Parkinson’s disease, similar to the condition Fox has openly lived with since 1998.
Fox recently collaborated with Apple TV+ on the acclaimed documentary “Still,” which highlights his life and battle with Parkinson’s. His involvement in “Shrinking” reunites him with co-creator Bill Lawrence, known for co-creating the hit show “Spin City,” where Fox earned multiple Emmy Awards before stepping away from acting in 2000 to focus on his foundation.
Over the years, Fox has continued to appear on television in various roles, notably winning an Emmy for his guest role in “Rescue Me” and earning additional nominations for his work on “The Good Wife.” His last television acting role was in “The Good Fight” in 2020, after which he announced a second retirement from acting due to challenges with memory and cognitive function related to his disease.
Reflecting on his condition, Fox expressed that his ability to memorize lengthy dialogue was becoming increasingly difficult but left the door open for a potential return, stating, “If this is the end of my acting career, so be it.” His participation in “Shrinking” marks a significant moment in his journey, blending personal and professional elements.
