Michael J. Fox jokes in a recent interview that his long career has taken him to demographic extremes.
"I went from Teen Beat and Tiger Beat… to AARP," he said to Access Hollywood. "There's some great tips about colon health!"
The "Family Ties" and film star is preparing to return to NBC with a new sitcom next season that draws from his own family life and battle with Parkinson's disease. He plays a news anchor who's life, like the actor's, has been disrupted by Parkinson's.
Fox, 51, said he didn't question whether to address his real-life struggle onscreen.
