Michael J. Fox – Family Ties
Michael J. Fox is best known for playing Marty McFly in “Back to the Future.” But he got that role thanks to his stint as Alex P. Keaton in “Family Ties.” The show was the perfect example of how a difference of opinion shouldn’t split or sever family connections.
In its final episode, Alex landed his dream job and had to fly the coop and move to New York. But his mother struggled with the news. Cue a family hug, which also became a cast group hug, before a live curtain call from the cast saying goodbye one more time. Fox retired from acting for the second time in 2020.
