Michael Andrew Fox was born in Edmonton, Canada in 1961. He would later use the middle initial "J" professionally, in order to distinguish himself from another actor named Michael Fox.  He was the youngest of five children born to Bill and Phyllis Fox. He struggled in school to compete in his favourite activity, ice hockey, because of his height (he is only 5' 4"), and instead turned his attentions to drama.
I was delighted to meet Michael J. Fox, star of one of my favourite film series, Back To The Future, at the London Film and Comic Convention held at Olympia in July 2015.  It was a very rare opportunity to have my photograph taken with him.

In 1985 came Fox’s first great success on the big screen, playing Marty McFly in Robert Zemeckis's zany romp Back to the Future (1985). This film, co-starring Christopher Lloyd as Dr Emmet Brown, has acquired a huge following, both in America and the UK.  The sequels Back to the Future II (1989) and Back to the Future III (1990) followed soon afterwards, and were equally well received by audiences.

In the 1980s, Fox had comic roles in Teen Wolf (1985) and The Secret of My Succe$s (1987), but wanting to widen his range, he took on some unlikely roles.  He played a factory worker, Joe Raznick, in Light of Day (1987); the cocaine-snorting Jamie Conway in Bright Lights, Big City (1988); and earned critical acclaim forhis
