The star of Back to the Future, Family Ties and Spin City is looking to make a big return to TV comedy.
Vulture is reporting that Emmy award-winning actor Michael J. Fox (Family Ties, Back to the Future Trilogy) could be headed back to prime time TV with his own new show. A single-camera comedy is currently in development for the star, who's been battling Parkinson's disease since being diagnosed in 1991.
Fox, with Larry David, on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
The show is reportedly "inspired" by Fox's own life, which suggests that his condition will also be front and center on the show. Perhaps in the same way that it was on the hilarious episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm that Fox guest starred on last year, "Larry vs. Michael J. Fox." Fox is working with director Will Gluck (Easy A) and writer Sam Laybourne (Arrested Development) and it's being reported that they've already begun shopping it around to networks.
