My Take
Michael J. Fox will always be Marty McFly to me, the impossibly charming, pint-sized engine of so much 1980s joy through Family Ties and Back to the Future. But the role I respect most came later. Going public with Parkinson's disease while still young, refusing to hide it, and pouring his life into a research foundation took a courage that outshines anything on screen. The honorary doctorates and Grammy for his audiobook reflect that same candor. There's a kind of grace in how he keeps facing forward, finding humor in hardship. As an actor he delighted me; as a person, he keeps inspiring me.
