I really admire Michael J. Fox because he has continued working even with his illness. He has used his stardom to promote, advocate, and raise money for Parkinson's research. I still remember him on Family Ties, I know I'm old. But then again I have watched him on Spin City and Larry King Live. He is an amazing person, of which I would like to meet in person. What about you? Do you admire Michael J. Fox? Why? Or why not?

I admire him so much because of the will and conviction of not letting the Parkinson take him down. He fights everyday to get up out of that bed and make something of his life everyday and enjoy it with his 4 kids and great wife. Who I also admire for sticking by him thru the good a the bad. I brought his first book and now I have the new one which I plan on reading while on the plane.

Great, I am a huge fan of him for 25 years now. I'm always looking up for news, feeds. I loved him as Alex and Marty but I love more the person he is in the real life. He is my #1 idol and I can't believe he is a celebrity cause he never acted like one. I would love to meet him too. His books are also great, everything he does maybe it comes from the heart because is always great. Good husband, good daddy, hell of an actor...Family ties was so funny. Back to the future, Dr.Hollywood...so many great work. He is a fighter, or better yet, a hero. A living hero, that didn't corrupt him self for Hollywood, a person that is really him self, always. I love him.
