The Cast Loved On Set Messing Around
Not surprising whatsoever but the cast loved to play jokes and mess around during filming Family Ties. In their 2015 reunion with Variety magazine, Justine Bateman said that Michael J. Fox had once started a water fight and even that Michael Gross and Meredith Baxter used to wrestle one another on the couch during breaks.
Michael J. Fox Described Alex As A “Scared Kid”
Michael has previously stated about his character: “I always thought of him like a mansion made out of rice paper. He looked amazing, he felt good about what he presented to the world, but you could poke your finger through it any time you wanted to. And then the fun was watching him react to that and recover from that and hoist himself back up to that place where he thought he was.”
