Acting Prolonged Michael J. Fox’s Life, He Says
Michael J. Fox says returning to acting—now on Apple TV+' Shrinking—has “really prolonged my life,” as he balances work with a public fight against Parkinson’s. The piece notes Fox’s Emmy-nominated role is ongoing and highlights how the Michael J. Fox Foundation has funded more than $3 billion in Parkinson’s research, with a goal of $700 million in new commitments this year, driven by co-founder Deborah W. Brooks. Fox’s visibility has helped accelerate patient-focused science, biomarker development, and drug programs, keeping his career and philanthropy closely aligned in the quest for a cure.
