Michael J. Fox is a Canadian-American actor best known for playing Marty McFly in the Back to the Future trilogy (1985-1990) and Alex P. Keaton in the NBC sitcom Family Ties, a role that earned him three consecutive Emmy Awards. Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991, he founded the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research in 2000, which has since directed over $2 billion to research - making it the world's largest nonprofit funder of Parkinson's science. In 2026 he returned from acting retirement with a guest role on Apple TV+'s Shrinking, earning his 18th career Emmy nomination.
The Television Academy announced Fox will receive the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award at the 78th Emmy Awards on September 14, 2026, for his contributions to Parkinson's disease research and advocacy.
Fox received his 18th career Emmy nomination - his first in a decade - for his guest role as a Parkinson's patient in season three of Apple TV+'s Shrinking, ending a five-year acting retirement.
Fox made a rare public appearance at the 2026 SAG-AFTRA Actor Awards, where he received a sustained standing ovation and gave a speech about parenthood and his acting career.
Fox publicly responded with humor after CNN accidentally broadcast a pre-prepared obituary tribute for him, confirming via social media that he was alive.
The Michael J. Fox Foundation surpassed $2 billion in total Parkinson's research funding, exceeding even U.S. government spending on the disease.
