Great Scott! This Canadian actor became wildly successful with the 80’s sitcom Family Ties, winning many awards for his role. His superstar status only skyrocketed when he portrayed Marty McFly in the beloved film trilogy Back to the Future. At 29, Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and by 2000, he semi-retired from acting as his symptoms became worse.
